Your argument doesn't add up....Russia is one of the most irrational nations in the world...there have been books written about the peculiar psychology of the Russian bear....and in the 20th Century, Russia was one of the aggressor nations Internally the USSR was very irrational, but its leaders understood the risks to their country and their position on top of it. They behave more rationally in external affairs then they did inside their country. They also behaved more rationally then North Korea, or (arguably) countries like Iraq or Iran at certain times. But for my argument to hold up the new nuclear countries do not have to be less rational then the Soviet Union was. Tim
