France doesn't have land and sub based ICBMs like China does.

We can by subs launch ICBMs,by land since several years no.

A nuclear power is defined as a country possessing land based ICBMs that can strike anywhere on the planet. China qualifies because of DF-41.

Your country is not China.

I've never seen a member here act less Chinese than you, from your superpower delusions you are more likely of Indian descent.

A nuclear power isn't defined as a country possessing land based ICBMs,but by the number of nuclear weapons.
If you have ICBMs on land or sea,that's the same thing,our submarines can launch ICBMs at any location on earth... so what ?
Sure,China is a nuclear power,but not a nuclear superpower like Russia or USA.

The total yield of the Chinese arsenal is 294 megatons. The total yield of the French arsenal is 55 megatons. You were saying?

China's 294 megatons of thermonuclear deterrence

Who cares about total numbers when French nukes are all (relatively speaking) lower yield firecrackers in comparison?

Worse come to worse Putin will press the red button

They can´t pay their soldiers. Russia is going bancrupt at moment. We just wait and see them riot.

Their 400billion national reserves are just reduced. I heard their already spend 19billion so left with less than 380billion.
As you say, military will be cut but Russia will not bankrupt unless their national reserve goes below 150billion, that will be a danger level.

Nothing much too dramatic will happen,russian economy will ofc take a beating for some time..but they will struggle and go on and eventually recover like they always do.It will take years but russia is self sufficient in raw materials,which is the basis of every economy so fundamentals are intact.They will just have to reduce the grand living style the oligarchs were used to a bit.
Worst case scenario however is if russian economy does reach a brink,putin sees that there is no longer any difference between current collapse and any further sanction west may impose,then west loses escalating power.In that case putin may feel he has nothing to lose or fear anymore and simply send in the russian army to smash all of ukraine and annex the country.That will be a massive slap for usa-european alliance.He has alreday said he can take kiev in a week or 2 if he wants to.
Both sides here need to not push each other too hard and take things low and easy.

In that case we can simply send weapons and tech to Ukraine and give them a 2nd afghanistan

I highly doubt any country would support a war with Russia, this is including US, since the Presidential elections are right around the corner. President Obama isn't going to take such a large risk considering towards the end of his presidency. And the rest of the EU are not financially stable enough to get into a war with Russia.

Forget russia look at how italian companies becoming bankcrupt.
Around 6,500 Italian companies closed down operations and went bankrupt in the first half of this year, a 5.9 percent rise from the year-ago period, according to a report released by the Chamber of Commerce of Monza and Brianza. And it’s not just new businesses that have been hit hard by the economic crisis. Between 2008 and 2012, roughly 9,000 firms that had been operating for more than 50 years closed their doors.

In addition, 22 percent of all the companies that filed for bankruptcy between January and June were located in the northern region of Lombardy, one of Italy's richest areas. Furthermore, some 126,000 companies are undergoing insolvency proceedings or negotiations with creditors.

More than 45,000 companies went bankrupt in Italybetween 2009 and 2013, according to Stratfor, a geopolitical intelligence firm, which cited data from the Cerved Group and CRIF. From 2008 to 2012, there was a 64 percent increase in annual bankruptcies.
