ussia launched an intercontinental missile in an apparent bid to scare those who "threaten" Moscow this afternoon (April 20). Russia is currently invading Ukraine and launched the ballistic missile, known as "Satan II" as a "warning", according to the Russian Ministry of Defence. The news comes from the Russian media who say that the launch of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile was carried out at the Plesetsk cosmodrome.
It is reported that President Vladimir Putin said that the missile would provide "food for thought for those who try to threaten Russia", reported The Mirror. The missile is said to be able to fire up to 12 nuclear missiles all at once and has been especially designed to evade anti-missile systems. It is also capable of flying over six thousand miles and destroying an area that is the size of France.

“Satan II” is that the British Intelligence name for the missile?
I’m told its name is Sarmat.
I’m told it’s the PPV XL. Putin’s Penis Envy.
Sabre rattling. Putin is flexing muscle.
Either that or it’s TEOTWAWKI.
Saner heads in the Kremlin will not this dying rabid dog to launch squat so he can huff and puff and bluster all he wants.
Congrats Vlad. You’ll get to rule a smoking irradiated hellscape from 1 mile below, assuming you survive.
Hope he can hit DC with it
I occasionally check up on a slavishly pro-Kremlin blog run by some tubby Russian ex-pat hawk who hilariously advocates the death of the West from Florida. I guess Moscow was too cold. The fan base in the comments section there is fundamentalist and quite apocalyptic. Some favor a first strike that takes out the East and West coasts of the USA as the best chance for Putin Land to survive. It’s pretty disturbing. It’s a testament to the 1st Amendment that people like that aren’t rounded up.
putin just threatened the world, yey in his myopia, he thinks that will prove for his defense from the world!!
I guess claiming the missile is called “puppy killing child rapist” would be too over the top for the neocon British press.
The Sarmat was “named after the nomadic Sarmatian tribes who lived in the 6th-4th centuries BC on the territory of present-day Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan”
Me too and I live in the area.
He’s in full panic mode it’s his own people he needs to worry about they had enough of him color him gone.
“Oleg Trubachyov derived the name from the Indo-Aryan *sar-ma(n)t (feminine – rich in women, ruled by women), the Indo-Aryan and Indo-Iranian word *sar- (woman) and the Indo-Iranian adjective suffix -ma(n)t/wa(n)t. By this derivation was noted the high status of women (matriarchy) that was unusual from the Greek point of view and went to the invention of Amazons (thus the Greek name for Sarmatians as Sarmatai Gynaikokratoumenoi, ruled by women).”
‘Ruled by women’ huh. Is this Vlad’s way of dealing with his mother issues?
Biden reminds me of the true story of a retarded man who was executed. They gave the condemned man his last meal. They asked him if he wanted to finish his meal before they executed him. No he said. He was saving it for when he gets back from the execution.
He can’t cover his humiliation in Ukraine by shaking his balls.
Pooty is sounding more like Little Kimmy in North Korea, all the time.
The best we can hope for is the Russians getting rid of him before they turn into a complete pariah state again.
“Panic in the Year 2000”?
