New Russian Missile... Awkward Timing

Its a biggun'...

Russia test fired their newest ballistic missile this Wednesday (And its a mother... just look at the size of that thing!). This is an odd timing considering NATO just recently announced a new missile defense system, claiming it was infallible. "The new intercontinental ballistic missile is intended to strengthen the capabilities of Russia's Strategic Missile Forces, including its capabilities for overcoming anti-missile defenses," Defense Ministry spokesman Vadim Koval told RIA Novosti. The fact that he mentions Russia is trying to bypass missile defense systems is a little... peculiar. World War III? Probably not. Regardless the tension is there but no real debates or arguments between Russia and NATO have happened as of yet. Earlier in the year the Russian president threatened the withdraw of the treaty that stated nuclear weapons need to be reduced internationally. A treaty that dates back to the cold war. Fishy business.... fishy business...
