Russia said it had successfully test-fired an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile on Tuesday, with tensions high over its seizure of control in the Crimea and its threat to send more forces to its neighbour Ukraine.
The Strategic Rocket Forces launched an RS-12M Topol missile from the southerly Astrakhan region near the Caspian Sea and the dummy warhead hit its target at a proving ground in Kazakhstan, the state-run news agency RIA cited Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Yegorov as saying.

That missile might as well be a middle finger extending upward from the KGB Colonel’s clenched fist.

LOL! Meanwhile, they’re having Senate hearings on approving the appointment of a “disarmament adviser” (some raving leftist loony female friend of Obama).
Talk about not living in the real world.

You do realize, don’t you kitty, that your tired snot is quite often the only pro-Putin comment on the threads where you post it?
Please give it a rest. It just gets in the way and doesn’t add a damn thing to the intelligence on the thread.

Is there any proof within the Russian leadership itself, more than just circumstantial, that Putin timed this Ukraine thing after hosting the Olympics for maximum international leeway?
