    This isn't nearly the threat Hollywood would have us believe. Nuclear Devices leave a finger print after detention. Is very easy via post blast analysis to see whose bomb went off. Whats the End Game for Russia? I doubt the world will buy the excuse "...It was not us it was stolen.." The CBRN Threat in the US is MUCH more likely to be from a Dirty Bomb than a High Yield Device. You can't put the We Nuked You Genie back in the bottle. Using a Nuke against the US or its Allies would result in the end of whatever Country's Device it was current regime. It's simple. Nuclear deterrence is an absolute. Putin knows it, Qadafi knew it, Terehan knows it, and Kim Il Whats His Name knows it. Lots of countries are willing to build a capability and even hint at it but the gap between saying maybe we have have a missile that can reach Guam and actually shooting a missile at Guam is immeasurably wide.

    Never forget Power is Money and The Rich and Powerful want to stay Rich and Powerful. Putin is enhancing his standing at home. He doesn't wanna lose his job.

    I agree with your logic, but I dont personally believe that a CB or dirty bomb on a private boat up the potomac or hudson, or in a trunk in the disney world parking lot is as hollywood myth as some would have you believe.I firmly believe that we will see in our lifetime on our soil.

    Side note; Compare Putin's Speech to the Russian Parliament to Hitler's Speech to The Reichstag after Anchluss with Austria. Spooky. Similar themes, verbage, tone, and boogeyman making.
