It's always interesting when two apparently unrelated elements of the political world collide to shed light on a third, also seemingly unrelated element. That's what happened last weekend during the missile strikes against Assad's nerve-gas network.
For the past several months, speculation has been rampant in political and military circles concerning new superweapons developed by the Russian Federation, presumably for use against its Main Enemy, the U.S.
Information on these systems did not emerge by accident or by means of intelligence efforts. It was intentionally released by the Russians themselves, for purposes that would not be immediately evident to anyone unfamiliar with recent Russian (which is to say "Soviet") history..............Read more
My Take - When this first broke in the news some short time ago I actually chuckled and shook my head. Why? Putin's country is broke. Advanced military systems are massively expensive. Massively expensive to develop and massively expensive to maintain which of course meant that if he actually had such weapons, which I doubted, he didn't have many. So, if he insanely used them he would cease to exist within hours - he and his entire country, and he knows that.
We have to get this - Putin isn't stupid. He's a liar, he's a thug, he's a thief, and he's most likey directly responsible for the murder of people who defected, he's a ex-KGB guy, but he's not stupid. He's a blowhard, and he's attempting to keep a important seat at the international table and we need to get this - he's not going to attack anyone because he's got one goal - save himself! And attacking America - and that's who he's attempting to intimidate - is an act of suicide - and he knows that!
