Upping the ante with new, state-of-the-art stealth ICBM is the belligerent new Russia, who has already annexed another country's territory by deadly force.
The RS-12M Topol, designed to dodge defence systems, has a range of 6,125 miles — enough to reach Britain — with a 550-kiloton warhead capable of devastating a 14-mile wide area.
You know, Russia is very serious, very dangerous now. In fact, in my judgement, this is no less serious than any other event in history, including the Cold War during the Soviet Union's existence and the Nazis' eerily similar annexation of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland while the world stood by and did nothing... and regretted it... a lot.
No longer can we delude ourselves into thinking that the world's no longer just minutes to nuclear midnight. Because the Evil Empire is back, and with a vengeance, having taken a breather to lick its wounds, regroup and rearm, having successfully fooled us all into thinking that they had somehow changed, somehow abandoned their Evil Ways. Will we be stupid now and delude ourselves that the only solution is "diplomacy" (really meaning appeasement and submission), or will we deal with the Evil Empire the proper way, as did JFK during the Cuban Missile Crisis and as did Reagan? Will we listen to the Churchills or the Chamberlains this time?
The Cold War is back on. Time to quit being so dumbass-pinko-peacenik-liberal-progressive and go back to being hawks.
It's time to rebuild our military might. If we want to keep our liberty.
History is repeating itself. Don't forget the lessons. Use them. Or lose.
