America's cyberwarfar capabilities are better than russias, our way of handling it since reagan was to focus entirely on offense leave the civilian world to go hang (hence all of the private anti virus companies) and then absolutely fuck up the day of any one who truely pisses us off in one alpha strike.
If they attempted that we would brick russias entire system.
I prefer to think that neither country would be stupid enough to have the control systems for their nuclear weapon systems connected to the Internet..
Generally speaking this is the case.

IIRC, a few years ago it came out that some US missile silo systems still use 8-inch floppy drives. You're not hacking that stuff because it's too old (and air-gapped, because the US Military is not completely retarded).

The US's isn't; there is a reason US nukes still run on 8-inch flop disks in many cases.
The idea that Russia could 'hack' the US's nukes is based on a false understanding of the actual tech that has been publicly documented to be in use.

They’re all sinful.
Being sinful doesn't mean they can't believe in every other aspect of life.

Not sure where you’re figuring that?
Assuming it comes from Sodom and Gomorrah, though really, it always amuses me how people will cherry-pick which Biblical passages they observe when it’s convenient, and which ones they don’t (such as Leviticus passages about not mixing fabrics or whatever).
Granted, the Leviticus example can be explained by culturally specific warnings not to emulate the Canaanites, which is understandable in proper context. However, that’s specific to the time and culture the Israelites lived in — and thus, probably irrelevant for us. If we ignore that, then I think we can likewise ignore the Old Testament’s usual wisdom on homosexuality, at least when it comes to average gay people who are just like you or me.
Good thing laws aren't based on a single religion's morality.
You know that line from Chinese history about 'What is the punishment for treason; death. What is the punishment for being late; death. We are late.'; there are non-hetero's alive who lived through the time when people used to try to lobotomize non-hetero's for actions between 2 consenting adults.
And just look at what the Brits did to Alan Turing for being gay, despite being key in breaking the Enigma code in WW2.
It's not about 'believe in other aspects of life', it's wanting to shove all non-hetero's back in the closet, or grave, due to the excesses and crimes of people trying to push things on kids, and trying disguise it in religious justifications.
There is a reason a lot of people here treat "inevitable Right Wing Backlash and hard swing to the Right/end of 'social experimentation' via Right Wing suppression" as a 'good thing', and basically usher in almost a theocracy-level religious dogma/power in society.
LGBs are just the first target due to how the T's have hijacked the movement to prey on people. The next will be people of the 'wrong' religions, and then we'll be dealing with the 30 Years War, US-style, as the theocrats fight amongst themselves over who's sect is 'most right' while they try to purge Hindi's, Sihk's, Muslim's, Jews, Buddists, and any other sect/religion that doesn't fit the Christian theocracy they want as the 'backlash' against the Left.
Ignoring a lot of the 'Biblical fanfiction' is a wise idea overall; Leviticus is just another fanfic author who wanted to have his writings tacked onto the Bible after the fact.
Really, treating the Bible more as a pseudo-historical, only partially factual text document to correlate to other natural events and happenings, instead of as a moral guide (too many contradictions and too many conflicting authors, to start) it makes life a lot easier.
Like a few examples:
Biblical Flood: Likely Burckle Crater Impact Tsunami in Indian Ocean and Rain Out Event afterwards, or possibly the opening of the Black Sea to the Aegen Sea.
Sodom and Gamorrah: Likely Tunguska/Chelyabinsk level asteroid/comet airburst over the Middle East, as evidenced by the shock quartz/trinitite found in burn layers around the Dead Sea.
12 Plague of Egypt: Cascading impacts of multiple volcanic eruptions in the Mediterranean and Africa leading to CO2 releases that killed people laying against the ground (Egyptian first borns often slept on the lowest bed of all the children), locust swarms caused by climate disruptions in the region, and the frogs raining out of the sky...well, we've seen water-spouts/tornadoes pick up fish and drop them miles inland.
