Almost 2 and a half hour of chitchat about the things of the world everyone talks about. At about 1 hour 30 it comes up if Russia is a great power. James made a video about that topic and users commented that Russia has a great nuclear arsenal. See vidrel.
His conclusion is no.
But he says something that he should consider more, that NATO can't invade Russia.
Which is fuckhuge important. Nukes protect sovereignty in a level that conventional arms can't.
