Have they really though? Can you really "weaken" a nuclear power?

Embarrass, yes. Cause a loss of prestige? Of course, but they're still a nuclear power and that's never going to change.

Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, in the 90s they still had a seat at the table in the UN security council and had a say in their sphere of influence. They still had a sphere of influence.
