Russia to Unveil New Nuclear Weapon

From this report in the Moscow Times, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced yesterday that Russia is only a couple of years away from full deployment of a unique nuclear armament. Further details are few and far between, but the jist of the information seems to be that the Russians have made a substantial advancement in at least one of their ICBM programs. The question then arises, "why would they be interested in developing more advanced ICBMs when the greatest threat Russia will face (just as the U.S.) in the coming years will be the threat of terrorist attacks, and NOT of nuclear missile launches?" The answer to that, according to the story, is that the Russians feel that they must 'keep up' with the U.S. development of its nuclear weaponry, and it development of a 'missile shield' program.

Okay, again, let's get this information straight. Although we have become begrudging 'friends' with Russia, we remain nuclear enemies. The Russians still believe that in order to be completely secure they must not turn their backs on the development of a nuclear arsenal to rival that of the United States. Just a little reminder from me at this point--the U.S. 'missile shield' DOES NOT WORK, and will require some significant 'miracles' to work any time in the next forty or fifty years!!!!!
