I know there are many reasons a poorly maintained nuclear weapon may not function as intended. And probably a lot of them are dysfunctional rn. But the idea that none of them work is wishful thinking...

Russia is still capable of producing the materials needed for a war that has been going on for 4 years now, or rather 12 if that’s how you want to count. They’re still using midrange ballistic missiles and probably still have ICBM capabilities.

Even if the bombs don’t work as intended, they could probably manufacture a dirty conventional bomb with great ease.
