The former Soviet Union has upped its status from "Let's have a revolution and to hell with everyone else" to "Come on, just try to take Stalingrad in the winter. We double dog dare you." They have never used their final level which is "Hah! We're letting a sociopathic African dictator steal our out-dated nuclear arms."
China as usual, is on its highest alert - "Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers!" China's lower level - "Everyone take out your Little Red Book NOW!" has not been used since the end of Mao's regime.
