2. live with their having nukes

Regarding the Russian exercises "Hodges notes that instead, Russia has moved in 800 tanks "which exist only to attack."
Why would tanks only exist to attack? Of course they can and have been used in defensive measures. So I don't buy this argument and think Russians have all right to use them in their trainings. Just the total numbers of troops really should be no more than 13,000. Not several units of under 13000 (combined more like 75,000 or 100,000). This is just BS trickery from the Russian side.
