    Putin has rolled out his grand display of new missile techology, and they are all aimed at Trump's golf courses in Florida!

    Putin boasts military might with animation of Florida nuke strike


    (CNN)Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday used a concept video of unlimited range nuclear warheads apparently raining down on Florida -- President Donald Trump's home away from home -- to tout his country's new firepower.

    Putin boasted about the Kremlin's resurgent military might during his annual address to his nation's Parliament, hyping weaponry that he said would render NATO defenses "completely useless."

    He drew repeated applause with animation-backed claims of nuclear-capable weapons that elude air-defense systems and "invincible" missiles that travel at hypersonic speed.

    "Any use of nuclear weapons against Russia or its allies, any kind of attack, will be regarded as a nuclear attack against Russia, and in response, we will take action instantaneously no matter what the consequences are," Putin said. "Nobody should have any doubt about that."

    Putin, who is up for re-election March 18, used Thursday's speech to showcase his country's strides in military technology.

    "Russia still has the greatest nuclear potential in the world, but nobody listened to us," he said. "Listen now."
    To drive home his point, Putin spoke as a video showed multiple nuclear warheads streaking through space before showering down on what appears to be the outline of the state of Florida.

    "But even this is not the end," Putin said. "We've developed new strategic weapons that don't use ballistic trajectory at all, which means that missile defense will be useless against it."

    White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters that Putin's remarks confirmed what the United States has long known: "Russia has been developing destabilizing weapons systems for over a decade, in direct violation of its treaty obligations," she said.

    This doesn't make any sense. Putin and Trump are supposed to be best buds.

      Oh, and guess where Putin got the tech for his fancy new missiles...

      Source: Hillary’s Hypersonic Missile Gap

      (March 2017) This shocking set of emails that the Examiner reported on shows the nexus of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s foundation, Hillary Clinton’s State Department, Bill Clinton, Russian oligarch Vekselberg, and Skolkovo, “Russia’s Silicon Valley,” the Putin project to transfer Western technology to Russia that was championed and driven by Mrs. Clinton — and, what do you know, 17 out of 28 tech companies that hitched up with Skolkovo also contributed to the Clinton Foundation? What a coincidence. Meanwhile, Barack Obama’s support for Russian WTO membership made the whole global flow so much easier.

      No wonder Herd Media, the Uniparty Congress and FBI Director James Comey never noticed a thing. Oh, except that Putin “hated” Hillary Clinton, “wanted to do her harm,” as Comey told Congress this week. Grrr. Maybe hypersonic technology wasn’t enough. But I’m getting ahead of the story.

      Let’s pick up with an Army report on Skolkovo written in 2012 (released in 2013) to assess “the implications … for U.S. policymakers.”

      Although military activities are not an official cluster of activity, the Skolkovo Foundation has, in fact, been involved in defense-related activities since December 2011, when it approved the first weapons-related project—the development of a hypersonic cruise missile engine. The project is a response to the U.S. Department of Defense’s Advanced Hypersonic Weapon, part of the Prompt Global Strike program.

      Fast forward to November 2016, shortly after Donald Trump was elected president when the US Air Force released a report on — no way — the Russian and Chinese hypersonic missile threat to the United States.
      The United States is vulnerable to future attack by hypersonic missiles from China and Russia and is falling behind in the technology race to develop both defensive and offensive high-speed maneuvering arms, according to a new Air Force study.

      “The People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation are already flight-testing high-speed maneuvering weapons (HSMWs) that may endanger both forward deployed U.S. forces and even the continental United States itself,” an executive summary of the report says.

      “These weapons appear to operate in regimes of speed and altitude, with maneuverability that could frustrate existing missile defense constructs and weapon capabilities.”

      In a functioning democratic republic, the executive branch decisions and procedures and corruption that led to this defense cataclysm would actually alarm security officials, lawmakers, and even arouse media curiosity, if nothing else. But Skolkovo, the money, the corruption, the treachery, the danger, inspire no reaction at all.

        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          It's all theater meant to impress the Russian people prior to the election. Russia's capacity to nuke the U.S. is the same as its always been, just as is the U.S. capacity to nuke Russia. If you noticed the video presentation was not that of actual missile tests but an animated depiction.

            It's an election stunt, no more...you know like the boastful crap Trump spewed on the trail. Putin's missile capacity is no greater than before. The real missile threat remains Nth Korea, not Russia.

                      Nah, Putin and the Russians already decided to side with you crazy conservatives and help to elect their good friend Trump.

                        Funny how all evidence points to Hillary and the DNC colluding with the Russians though.

                          No, you see, it was all a ploy: they worked with Hillary and the DNC in order to damage their reputation so that Trump would be elected without there being any unsavory ties to a foreign power! It's brilliant!

                            Well, like I said, you're one of those crazy conservatives who are easily led to believe whatever crazy spin your propagandists put to you. Trumps whole administration is falling apart. He filled the swamp with crooks like himself and now they are all either being indicted or jumping ship and you knuckleheads continue in your denial. I've really got to get that book now, "The Republican Brain". I didn't think so at the time it came out, but there may actually be something to it.

                              There you go with the irony again, Mr. Talking Points.
