More Nukes? How about a new version of Tetris!
It was recently announced that "New nuclear weapons systems being developed in Russia could include a missile designed to defeat the U.S. missile defence shield." (CBC).
The NY Times reported: "We are not only conducting research and successful testing of the newest nuclear missile systems," [Putin] said in concluding remarks to a regular gathering of commanders at the Ministry of Defense, which were reported by news agencies and broadcast on NTV. "I am certain that in the immediate years to come we will be armed with them. These are such developments and such systems that other nuclear states do not have and will not have in the immediate years to come."
1) Damn arms proliferation which 'forces' countries to 'whip out' the size of their missiles.
2) How on earth would any missile shield work effectively? It seems that Putin is stating their technology would defeat the US missile shield, which isn't even developed yet. I feel this will always be the way. Evolutionarily speaking, shields develop as a response to attacks, they cannot predict new attacks. Humans supposedly can predict the future, but whatever someone dreams up as a theoretical attack on which to base a missile shield someone will invariably just come up with something to circumvent it. Not good for anybody.
3) Russia had such lack of resources to deal with their decomissioned nuclear subs, that they need other countries to bail them out.
It's one thing to crap where you live... but don't crap
a) nuclear material in the ocean and
b) where other things live.
In summation: Boo weapons and boo Russia for following the stupidity of others
