Oh please. Russia's 6000 nukes ain't enough against a non-nuclear, much smaller power? That's some superhero level paranoia right there.
Paranoia is common among imperialist powers.
When the USA invaded Grenada (which US propaganda portrayed as a dire threat to US national security) in 1983,
the US media ran lurid headlines about many thousands of dangerous Cuban troops on the island when, in fact,
there were only several hundred Cuban construction workers with some military training and light weapons.
US propaganda acted almost as if the US forces had stormed Iwo Jima.
"The
condemned it [US invasion of Grenada] as "a flagrant violation of international law"
by a vote of 108 to 9, with 27 abstentions."

At a meeting sponsored by a 'liberal' Jewish organization, I heard a man say that, if he was an Israeli soldier in the occupied
West Bank and noticed a Palestinian boy holding a stone, then he would immediately shoot to kill him because the stone
was potentially a deadly weapon. He said that everyone sane would agree, and no one dared to speak out against him.
Afterward, a friend of mine (a non-Zionist Jew) said that she strongly disagreed with him but felt too intimidated to speak out.
She's never been married (not that she's looking). She said that her racist brother (an ardent Zionist) told her to emigrate to China.
When she (an ethnic German Jew who does not speak Chinese) asked why, he said:
"You should go to China because you're a Communist and it's your best chance to get a husband.
You're not good enough for a white man, but there might be a Chinaman who would take you."
I suggested that she send photos of herself with a Chinese man in order to give her brother something to wonder about.
