Do we think it's possible that with no one running the country ? because of course we have no chosen successor to Putin ? is it possible, if we did that, that one of those 6,000 nuclear weapons might wind up in the hands of some anti-American terror group and be used against our civilian population here?" he asked. "A nuclear weapon! Well, it's not just possible, it's likely."
