Russia can't afford their current rusting arsenal and will be forced to unilaterally cut nukes or gut their conventional forces to pay for nukes. Cutting ours allows the Russians to upgrade their conventional arms to invade or intimidate their neighbors. Each submarine or strategic missile costs the Russians at least 5X the percentage of their defense budget than does the US.
