The real threat will come from countries with enough bite to cause a stir (North Korea, Iran, groups like ISIS, the Al-Qaeda, the Taliban...) but nothing to lose. Russia and the USA have a lot to lose, which is why they'll never go to war with one another again (unless something drastic occurs) - that article is pure anti-Russian fear mongering drivel. It's not nonsense per se, the guy makes good points, but they're totally misguided and come from a very biased, perhaps uneducated, Americanised point of view.
Its strange that you think his article is uneducated drivel because from what you have just said here, you agree with him about North Korea and Iran. Are you saying the snippet he wrote about Russia is drivel or the entire article? You need to be more specific when you clearly agree with some of what he's said.
