Moscow - Russia's new intercontinental ballistic missile, which was test fired on Tuesday, can break through any missile shield, Itar-Tass news agency reported First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov as saying.

When asked about the launch, Ivanov said Russia's "new tactical and strategic complexes are able to overcome any existing or future missile defence system", Itar-Tass reported.

"So from the point of view of defence and security Russians can feel safe," Ivanov said.

If you want to peacefully help stop the Talibanization of America and prevent the challenge Europe faces today, send an e-mail to charlesmartel@verizon.net. Sample letters to your state and federal representatives will be provided upon request. Additional action and educational materials will be offered as they are developed. If you live in northern Virginia, Maryland, or the Washington, DC area and are interested in organizing to peacefully confront radical American Islamists on their home front, do the same. Let not ours be the generation that failed America and the world.

So why are they so afraid of the defensive system Poland and the Czech Republic are letting the US setup on their territory?

IBM got out of the missile defense business long ago......I think they make computers and software now. No wait I work for Big Blue so I should know!

They aren't afraid of anything. Its the embarrassment of being marginalized even more in the post cold war world.

The headline at the original said IBM. Would perhaps the Admin Gods add "[ICBM]" to the headline to avoid confusion, please?

Oh shoot! I didn't realize that was part of the bargain.

Waittaminute, I have several years of "no wish" banked on FR. That should leave me a dozen or so more wishes right now, right?

No. This is not your cellphone plan. We don't do rollover wishes on FR.
