Our good friends over in Moscow are bragging to their Comrads from France that they have a shiny new ICBM to play with. Their new missile system is designed to counter a missile defense system. Although not referring directly to the United States, who else would the Russians have the need to fire one of these things at? I’m also sure the Iranians would bid pretty high to get their hands on a few of these new rockets to launch their new little nukes they are developing.

“Russia … has tested missile systems that no one in the world has,” the ITAR-Tass, Interfax and RIA Novosti news agencies quoted him as saying at a news conference. “These missile systems don’t represent a response to a missile defense system, but they are immune to that. They are hypersonic and capable of changing their flight path.”

We keep getting told that the Russians are our friends and the Cold War is over. Maybe we need to wake up to the fact that a Leopard cannot change its spots. The Politicos that run Russia were the up and comers in the old Soviet Union. Many of them would love to return to the good old days.

The one comfort I saw today though was our boys over at Whitman were out shooting landings with a few B-2’s this afternoon. Mr. Putin needs to remember there is very little he could do to stop one of these birds from blowing him and his commie friends to hell.

As for me I’m heading over to KC KS in the morning to drop off the first half of this load then go on to Springfield to drop off the rest and take some home-time. Hope everyone is doing well and stays safe. Be sure to catch the State of the Union speech tonight.
