I would be more worried about the first full scale "nuclear training exercise" Russia has had in 2 decades happening mid february. If the terrorist did have suitcase nuclear weapons they probably would have used them long before now. In addition, from what i've heard and read suitcase nuclear weapons do take some expertise and support to set off. Various parts in the device need to be replaced and serviced during a year. Setting a nuclear suitcase bomb off isn't as easy as just pressing a button.

Yes but you forget USA would launch icbm's from SUBS and missile silo's, that would wipe out Russia and China land masses for like hmmm billion years with radiation, also not forgetting the nuke bombers, and thats all the de-calassified stuff we know about, you can bet your puppy the USA has alot more secret weapons hidden away.
If USA was attacked by say terrorists with nukes just before the Russian nuke execise im sure USA would say you go ahead with that exercise Russia and we will take it as an all out attack on USA, so USA would threaten Russia with attack to stop them from doing the exercise.

Why would russia wants to wage war against the US? Support terrorists and train them on how to use suit case nukes??
It makes no sense, perhaps they wanted to do this thirty years ago, but deffinately not now, or in the near future.

chris,
yeah you are right!
the Russians are poor, desparate and terribly corrupt but it is their right to be underachievers!
they should revel in their failures as a country and always blame it on the US, much easier that way.

They arent going to attack you..
They are just reminding you of your own mortality, and that you are not gods..
As since 1950s USSR / Russia has had the ability to wipe you out totally, and still does..
But so has the USA..
Its just a reminder, not a attack plan..
Remainder because, from the rest of the worlds view, we cant know who are you trying to invade next.
