I love that, somewhere out there in the world, someone is watching Empty Nest.

Bit of an "er, akshully" here but only four of the post-Soviet states (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan) ever had nukes in their territory post-independence, and even then all of the codes to actually launch them were still in Moscow.

And in case you're wondering what happened to them, they were all given back to Russia or dismantled (Ukraine took a bit more convincing than the other two tho)

Too true
