Putin on the Blitz
“Standing in front of a giant video screen, President Putin showcased Russia’s very latest strategic weapons. Like a magician pulling one rabbit after another out of his hat, he wowed his audience with images of cruise missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles, underwater drones and supersonic jets.” BBC: During his annual state of nation speech, Putin focused on what he called ‘invincible’ nuclear weapons. (Today’s international relations have more testosterone than a World’s Strongest Man competition. With 17 days left before the next Russian election, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a video of Putin pulling an 18-wheeler with his teeth.)
