Putin boasts of new nukes that can strike anywhere in the world

Vladimir Putin warned the West Thursday that Russia has developed a high tech new arsenal — including a supersonic nuclear weapon that can reach any spot on Earth while avoiding missile-defense systems.

Delivering his annual State of the Union address, the Russian president said his country was prepared to use its nukes if attacked, and added that Moscow would consider a nuclear attack on its allies as a nuclear attack on the Motherland — and would retaliate immediately.

“I want to tell all those who have fueled the arms race over the last 15 years, sought to win unilateral advantages over Russia, introduced unlawful sanctions aimed to contain our country’s development: all what you wanted to impede with your policies have already happened,” he said. “You have failed to contain Russia.”

Go back and re read your post. You wrote, “If you first strike (at) Putin...”

That is where I got the idea.

I am glad that is not what you are advocating.

You misquote me because I said,”If you made a first strike Putin” as if I was talking directly to Putin and challenging his brave talk about his missile. You are adding the “at” which is not there. That’s okay though. In any case he is bragging about a weapon that is no better than a common cruise missile which is nearly impossible to stop at any speed, especially stealthy ones we already have in the arsenal.

I put the At there because the sentence made no sense without it.

For gods sake, it’s an internet chat room. It’s not like any of this matters. I accept that you aren’t crazy. You sound quite reasonable.

Neither your opinion or mine really amounts to a hill of beans.

Have a good weekend.

You add language to a post, begin an argument because the meaning and context have changed, and blame it on me, and than proclaim I am not crazy after all?

Thanks, I guess I deserved all that instead of an apology.

You have a great weekend as well.

Have you ever seen a communist drink water?

Hey you wrote what you wrote. I can’t help it if you aren’t clear. You deserve nothing.

Don’t get all butt hurt. If you are going to write stuff that makes you sound childish, don’t write it where the grown ups are.

Yet this is the level of analysis we see here these days. Amazing, isn’t it?

So, He stole one, (just one), of our Trident subs then?

[Peter ODonnell]

Belarus ... North Ossetia ... United States minus CNN.

“Vlad is campaigning, there is no way, he’d be reelected in a free election, he’s as valid a leader as Kim Jong Un and heads up all the corruption, they can’t even get their athletes on a legitimate team representing their country in the Olympics, the system is so crooked.”

He’s a worthless ColdWar Relic whose best Allies are Iran and NKorea. I used to think the Russians deserved better. Now I just could care less. What kind of mentality dopes ParaAthletes to win medals...lmao.

“As Reagan bankrupted and caused the Soviet Union to collapse through an arms race, Putin and Xi are tag teaming the US with the same goal in mind.”

Bullshit. The military spending is good, the military badly needs funding to have an advantage. Can’t do that with 20th century weaponry.

Vlad knows That beside the long range land based nukes we have subs right off his shores.
