Actually, Russia's nuclear system is totally automated.

Like... the Dead Man Switch on Lost with one of five people pushing a button every hour on the hour so the world doesn't go 'boom' for the past 80 years.

Leave the buttons alone, and in about 1 hour, 30 minutes, the world will glow blue.

I am now Officially of the opinion that Russia and China are having a chuckle

I call Putin's bluff, he's only doing this in a last ditch attempt to scare off the west. Russia's economy is taking a battering, after all. He has no hope if it becomes a war and he knows it, so he has to try and bluff everyone
