LOL, think that isn't a message for Barry!!! They can see the weakness he is putting out and they are letting him know, "we are still here, and we ain't goin no where!"
Their military isn't highly regarded as a ground force, but the Nukes are still a viable 1st line option, right from the start....
But hey, Barry will "talk" to them.....
Russia: Nukes may come in handy

Russia's Topol-M nuclear-capable ballistic missile
A senior Russian military official has said that nuclear warfare could be the only appropriate response against likely 'new threats'.
"New threats may emerge that could only be averted with the threat of nuclear weapons," said the head of the Russian General Staff on Monday, Russian information agency RBC reported.
The official, Nikolai Makarov added that possible materialization of the threats necessitate that Russia keep open the option of upgrading its nuclear firepower.
He made the remarks commenting on the country's plans to renovate its armed forces which are expected to yield a 'more compact, more mobile and better equipped' military.
The reforms were ordered by the Russian Commander-in-Chief Dmitry Medvedev last year in view of the August confrontation with Georgia.
The enhancement was continuously brought forward as the United States would not to revise its missile plans in eastern Europe.
"We are planning to complete a reform of the military within the next three or four years. The established time frame has not been revised," Makarov concluded.
