Putin had said. "It's not a bluff, trust me.".

Any guy who says this knows he is a beta and trying to fake Alpha status.

Who’s he bragging to?

When Russia was flat on its back economically and militarily, back in the 90s, we didn’t lift a finger to hurt them.

In fact we gave them money to pay their nuclear scientists so they wouldn’t walk off with their knowledge and sell it to Iran and Pakistan. Which they did anyway.

We also helped them recover some of their stolen weapons-grade nuclear fuel.

Vladimir, one doesn’t need a supersonic missile to trigger mutually assured destruction.

Since when has one of their ICBMs NOT been able to fly over the North or South Pole.

The first orbital rockets used by both the Soviets and the United States were modified ICBMs.

It’s one thing to make an object move so fast in atmosphere that it ionizes the region around it. It’s quite another thing to devise precision guidance, steering and fuzing which reliably works in that domain.

I won’t believe it just because I “see” it. I’ll only believe it when I understand how it was done, if it was.

Apparently the name of missile is Sarmat ICBM. Weird that NATO “dubbed” it Satan 2, as per article.
