RUSSIA last night provoked fresh fears of a Cold War by boasting it has tested a new long-range nuclear missile.
Moscows military chiefs revealed their Topol intercontinental stealth rocket had been fired successfully.

Maybe the promised response to the Missile Defense in Poland...
All the more reason to vote McCain (tho' I can't believe I'd write that without FRED as the VP).
Barack would surrender...
“intercontinental stealth rocket”
Yeah right. I guess the rocket engines don’t make any heat or show any flame. Stealth my %$ss.
It actually passes through a wormhole to hit it’s desired target.
A new lethal nuke as opposed to...a nonlethal nuke?
Oh yeah...this is from a U.K. paper. Fact checking is optional for them.
The Anointed One could wave his mighty hand and smote any Russian missiles.
All hail the Mighty Obama...
(It is frightening to think of a leftist, community organizer dealing with a aggressive Russian bear.)
Whoa! That headline had me going for a minute.
If they had tested a NUKE that would have really been
a break in relations.
And the great irony is that if the Russian claims are true, and it cannot be intercepted, then the missile defense system in Poland poses absolutely no threat to them whatsoever and their complaints are completely baseless.
They can’t have it both ways, but I’m sure the media will let them.
We thought that might have happened the other night when the Siberian earthquake was first reported.
Mayhap we should test ten or fifteen of our old nukes, just to make sure Putin understands that we have hundreds, if not, thousands of nukes available. And as an attention grabber a few test fires from our nuke subs off the coast of Russia. Just as an additional reminder?
It’s nice to know that when the Russkis put a mushroom cloud over LA or NYC, we’ll have Obama the Messiah to tell us, “Come on guys, they didn’t mean anything by it! It’s just a cloud!”
Russia tested a nuclear capable missile, not a nuclear device.
Who in their right mind wants war with Russia when we have the Islamists vowing to destroy us?
My title was <ctrl-C> <ctrl-V> from the original source...
Cheers!
Nothing’s heating up. That’s whats the commies want us to believe. They haven’t lobbed a missile at us in 50 years and they are not about to do so now. In the meantime we just go about our business building our shield.
Oh.. however what can NOT be ruled out though is a preemptive Russian air strike on the missile defense installation. That will have to be guarded against.
Our foreign policy is where change is needed, and this gives the Democrats a winning issue if they're smart enough to take it.
