German intelligence warns Putin preparing Nato assault by end of decade

They already do from the occupied areas right? If they get the rest of Ukraine they'll have all the manpower they'll ever need... This is just yet another reason to intervene with troops in Ukraine now. Ukraine falling is an existential threat to European peace, freedom and prosperity. Not to mention Ukraines massive military industry.

I'm not saying to assume they don't all work. I'm saying to diaregard their threats of using thembecause they likely won't.
Consider this, if only 10% of the warheads work that still leaves over 400 working bombs. Even in the unlikely situation where Russia didn't know which ones where in working condition they could just resort to throwing 10 bombs at a target instead.
We also haven't even defined what not-working means. You could for example classify a hydrogen bomb that doesn't trigger it's fusion stage as non-working. The primary stage of a thermonuclear bomb can still have a yield of a few hundred kilotons of TNT. The bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki where well below that.
For these reasons I consider the "Russian nukes don't work" a nice fantasy at best. The threat is real and only kept in check by western nuclear counterstrike capabilities.

Lol I live here and I gotta say, Id sign off on us being renamed to The States of America, we are the most not united thing to ever exist.
With the word United in it or not, that name is still ambiguous. America is a continent, the Brits conquered the North and a nation was born.
Meanwhile, incipient republics in the south were able to resist British Invasions with help of European Monarchies.
Or something like that.
