Russian message to Obama

Post by Nightshade »

It seems the Russians tried to make a statement the day before Obama's arrival in Norway to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. They test fired a Bulava nuclear capable ballistic missile over Norway just before he makes his visit.

The missile was quite spectacular, though a spectacular failure: viewtopic.php?t=16292

...some newspapers and TV channels are quoting Russian military sources, confirming that this is a failed Bulava missile launched from a nuclear submarine in the White Sea.
The message is clear though. Don't take the Russians lightly.

Perhaps also: \"What missile shield?\" or \"Don't mess with Iran.\"
