In Future News, Freeper "Jayson" was found dead today in an apparent suicide. The autopsy reports that, in a remarkable act of flexibility, he apparently shot himself in the back of the head six times from three feet distance....

"Jayson" stated the following
"Never trust Russia. That is the law among all those who are rational." Seems very logical these days.
Do you trust the Putin régime?

Russia has had a deployed ABM system since about 1977. Carter shut down the similar U.S. system. The Russian (and old American system) use ~10 megaton warheads to kill incoming warheads with neutrons high above the Earth. (A 10 megaton weapon has a surprisingly small lethal radius against warheads in space.)
The Canadians hated the American system, since it meant popping off 10 megaton firecrackers over Canadian territory in the hope of saving American missile fields.
