I believe that the way Putin has been lied to about readiness, training, equipment maintenance is a sure sign. I don't believe his nukes, guidance systems, nor their silos are in better shape than his ground forces. Unfortunately, we can't act on that because even one successful nuke would be catastrophic. They're probably just buckets of rusty bolts at this point, but oh well.

The reason he's been lied to is because he created a culture of fear. Where speaking the truth can and will get you killed.
