Will Russia’s nuclear weapons actually work?

Covert Cabal's video can be found here:

Tritium (along with Deuterium) is used as a "booster" in fission weapons. All modern thermonuclear weapons use tritium boosters. (Basically, the tritium fuses with the Deuterium to produce helium and an extra neutron. This extra neutron will help create fission in the remaining plutonium)

However, Tritium has a half-life of 12.26 years. This means that half of it will naturally decay into Helium3. If the Tritium isn't periodically replaced, it the reaction will "Fizzle." You will still get an explosion, but it may not be what you want.

Russia's economy is roughly the size of the State of New York's. And Russia is attempting to maintain an Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Program and nuclear program. So much in the way that you might put off changing the battery in a smoke detector because their is no immediate danger of fire, Russia may have put off maintaining the tritium in their thermonuclear weapons because they are unlikely to be used.
