    Just think Russia has nukes too!

    Apparently Russia is such a mess that there are Russian women who are so desperate to escape that they are willing to marry some complete stranger in America, and that there are enough of these women that an entire industry has been developed around them.

    This same country that these women are so desperate to escape from is the also the proud owner of about half the world's supply of nuclear weapons...

    Makes you sleep easy at night doesn't it?
