They dont have to have unlimited. They only need to be more than effective for their nukes to wipe American off the planet. Say 8K nukes delivered to USA with 95% effective detonation, while USA deliver just 30% effectiveness. And that is probably only less than 2K can be launched (30% out of 2K against a target area twice American size). Americans weapon effectiveness are at joke level these days. Russians will rewrite human civilizations and Americans will only be a minor Russian history footnote 200 years from now. And we havnt count in Indians and Chinese making Americans 300M truly irrelevant in future global populations even with nuke wars happening. Dont believe me, look at Solyndra competiting against Chinese solar panel. They are gone and no one even remember much. Or how about Segway? You probably know Xiaomi and Ninebot more. Motorola? A lot of Americans corporations now erased from public memory and dominated by Chinese one. American culture also significantly reduced compare to what it was in the heydays of 70s.
