BlankHowdy Vorts, Can anyone explain the nysterious repositioning and rapid buildup of the Russian nuclear forces ? Granted that Russia has a siege mentality ever since Napoleon went ice fishing in the Volga, can this simple reason explain the causes and effect ? Shades of the children of Esau and Jacob with a sprinkling of Japeth's Gog and Magog kinfolk. This ain't the Russian opera where music is in concert and harmony.
The Russian physicist's community remain an advanced technological bunch which may explain the seeming confidence of Putin. Is there any evidence of hyper-advanced weaponry possessed by Russia that points toward "neutralizing" atomic weapons of the other Nuke nations? It would seem that during a Mex standoff in the Dime Box, people would be careful when everyone has a loaded shotgun.. unless.. err.. well.. one of the drunks likes to pose as the sherriff and thinks he can reason with other drunks cuz he has the scariest weapon.
