Both Putin's "neo-Soviet" Russia & Red China continue developing new, longer range strategic missile systems, many with MIRV capabilities. Somebody is planning for all out nuclear war.
If the START II treaty is ratified by the Russian Duma and the New York Protocols are ratified by the Duma and the US Senate, ICBMs with MIRV payloads will be banned after 2007. Washington would be very unwise not being even more prepared to counter any threat.
Additional Russian ICBM data & photos can be reviewed this FR thread "The Resurgent Bear" posted by Tailgunner Joe.
I can't look at that....been reading the Ezekial Option novel....
My only question is whether it will come in the remainder of my life (~30 years, at best), or later, not "if".
And I do think that launch trails from Russia and China will converge on North America, although those two parties may turn on each other at some point.
