I don't like the man but I don't see Obama dropping The Bomb just for some dark shadowy political or ideological objective, nor do I see Trump doing that either. Putin on the other hand I think would not hesitate to pull the nuclear trigger if he thought he could get away with it.
From several posts that you've made here on this forum it seems to me that you think we here in the west are just itching to wipe you out. Now I can't speak for the Europeans but that's not how we roll here in America.
Just remember this. After the fall of the USSR when you folks were in disarray and couldn't mount much of a response we could have nuked your country into a glass floored, self lighting parking lot and gotten away with it, but we didn't and we wouldn't. Can you say the same thing about your leader?

Russians still believe in God? Really? I thought the Soviets stamped out religion and sent all the believers to the Gulag in order to create that workers paradise.
