Russia tested its new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) for the second time on Friday, the country’s defense ministry said in a tweet.
The nuclear weapon called Sarmat will replace the current Soviet-era missile called Veovoda.
Russia’s ministry of defense tweeted a video showing the ICBM taking off.

It’s the second test of Sarmat. The first took place towards the end of last year.
The test was carried out at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, as spaceport in the west of Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled details of the missile in March. At the time, he said that the ICBM “can reach any point in the world.” The ICBM was unveiled as part of a raft of defense measures during his annual State of the Union address earlier this month.
There are worries about the rising tension between some countries when it comes to nuclear weapons. North Korea has also been carrying out tests of its ICBM.
Russia’s missile test comes at a time when it faces backlash from other major nations after Britain blamed the country for the poisoning of Russian former double agent Sergei Skripal. The U.S. and other countries have expelled some Russian diplomats. The Kremlin responded on Thursday by expelling 60 American diplomats from Russia.
Llpoh needs to watch out.
An insane scenario would be that China made Russia’s hyper missile with technology stolen from the US.
I see the current anti Russia hoopla as cover for Trump collusion (thanks Vlad) or grander plans. Standard misdirection to continue business as usual but with better untainted teammates. And a good way to trim inflated staff and compromised personnel to allow players not so connected to the DS cabal to be in place when TSHTF?
And I would expect good things coming from NK. The occidental’s know! Goy’s Unite!
And one more dissonant thought. On the Uranium One deal, giving Russia the same radioactive material as in our arsenal; would it provide a convenient cover for a false flag operation? I am no nuclear scientist, not even a scientist. Nor an atomic engineer. I wonder if giving away material ‘genetically’ identical to our weapon systems creates deniability on our part in the event of a false flag??? Can anyone shed light on this?
The sun is out, the promise of spring weather is still a few weeks away but robins have shown up, and maybe a Russian ballistic missile.
So the last two majority white Christian superpowers get to wipe each other off the map?
Maybe this will make the Necons a little less impulsive to start a war with Ruissa.
A better test of the Russian missile would be to put Bolton on a desert island in the Pacific and dare Russia to hit him with their new missile. If they miss, Bolton can continue to give them the finger. If they score a direct hit on Bolton, they claim a success and we have one less idiot in DC.
I’d give them 1 out of three try’s. Maybe ten.
This is the long term strategy to punish Russia’s support and saving of Syria. PLUS Russia’s increase in military sales and increased relations with their neighboring countries. The US thought that they had vanquished Russia and that they could just go in and take over Russia’s natural resources for pennies and paper promises. Russia kicked out the big banks, imprisoned the USA backed oligarchs and now has nullified USA’s military lead with hypersonic missiles and undersea drones. This nullifies any advantage or projection capability the USA had and actually makes it nearly impossible to counter. Once Russia produces a few hundred each of their hypersonic missiles, space entry worldwide capable ICBM’s and underwater nuclear drones, we are back to MAD unless Russia develops anti-ballistic missiles, (which may already be in the S400 upgrade package) then they have the first strike advantage that the USA sought. The USA should not have reneged on its “NATO will not move closer to Russia” promise. we also should not have reneged on our other promises to Libya, The Balkans, etc. Russia and China have been watching the US thumb their nose at International Law, and constantly break their promises. The only thing left is the USA financial grip via the dollar, once that is gone, the Sino-Russo strategy to set up a multipolar world should be complete. I think the monetary reverse flow is already starting by looking at the hot money flowing in from foreign sources in the stock market and housing. Next it will start to hit commodities and food then real inflation will hit everyone. All moved along faster by the trade wars. watch for this and get ahead of the pack by squirreling away long term storage food, a backyard garden and precious metals.
The 8-10% annual inflation is already here but how long can they hide it with fake stats from BLS? Not long in my view and not when it is 10-20% or higher. Let the good times roll. Gold, guns, grub and gardens are the 4 Gs of survival in the emerging brave new world. “Brave” because they may be the only ones to survive. .
Yea buddy…spent all day planting
