I read a while back that Russia never even maintained their nukes, didn’t have the resources or know how to do so, and it’s unlikely even 5% of their arsenal is functioning. They are a paper tiger without the useful idiots in the white house now.

Citizens Bank might need to learn the lesson that the public taught Target! Surely mass closing of bank accounts isn’t good for a bank
