They key issue here, is maintaining an effective operable nuclear deterrent against the US,NATO and EU. Provided we do this, I see no issues about reduction, however, we need be careful here. I believe just adjusting levels, based on parity with the US is the wrong approach. Because there are other players in the world, as well, on the sidelines in NATO and elsewhere. What we should be looking for, is parity against all enemies, and that means having an effecteive deterrent against NATO as a block, the EU as a block and the US individually. Basically the plan of the US with regard to Russia, is to get us to reduce our guard, and then use other smaller nations as proxy warriors, with or without nuclear weapons to conduct a war of attrition. To deny them this objective, we must be able to deliver catastrophic, unacceptable damage to their peoples. Then we can live in peace with them. Strategic weapons provide a part of this deterrence tool, so we must keep the tool sharp.
