Which Is so strange to me. If Trump gets his way with the dictatorships, if that threatened him that much, he could wipe Russia off the map. We already publicly know they have a paper army, and we know Russia never had nearly the number of nukes they claimed, how could anyone who becomes a dictator with the US military be afraid of anything but people close enough to him to kill him?
This may surprise you but they don't really need as many nukes as Russia claims to have on paper. As long as they have enough that work, or hell, even just one, MAD is in play.
