In the highly unlikely event that Joe Biden is inaugurated and the revolution against the US is successful, Russia's best move to protect itself internationally would be a first strike on Washington, D.C. and America's military capabilities.

Russia can't launch its arsenal. That shit ain't been maintained since Gorbachev. They'd end up nuking themselves. I don't know our situation is all that much better but I imagine we have far better documentation on what is and isn't deployable. China is in the same boat as Russia except for a different reason, their nukes are cheap Chinese crap and they know it. One thing we never exported to China apparently was quality control.
So I predict no nuclear armageddon and Joe Biden is inaugurated without issue.

Just another thought on these aged nuclear stockpiles... ICMBs are like spaceship launches but with nukes. Would you expect a spaceship built in 1965 to still work?
Here's an interesting conspiracy theory: nuclear detente was only ever a convenient way for nations to not have to explain why so many multibillion dollar nukes weren't worth scrap.

If you have been following air force news or live near an air force base, there has been a huge uptick in training. The grapevine says it’s because China has a shit ton of aircraft. It’s supposedly not in the best shape, but with the amount of soldiers, it’s still of some concern.
