I didn't say it was mate ! The thing is, this was another spiral ! And usually these missile tests are normally two MONTHS apart at least ! NOT two days ! It just seemed that in order to cement the 'fact' it was a missile they fired another !

I don't know about that. There have been some rather aggressive moves by Russia lately. This could be a message they are trying to send. I am quite certain there needs to be a serious examination of our relations with Russia though considering the timing of these tests and the recent "excursions" reported by Canadian residents. Something is up and it might be just a bit more pressing than UFO's and Stargates.

Except the Bulva missile allegedly violates the START treaty. That would be a very big deal.

Wait, facepalm here cause i pwned myself. The treaty expired on the 5th. Well no wonder the Russians didn't test until after the 5th. Just a few questions remain though. Why the day before Obama was to arrive in Norway? Why is this not being discussed in the media? Obviously if this missile was of importance enough to be discussed in congress there is some kind of issue at hand. Is there some kind of massive conspiracy to keep U.S.-Russia tensions hidden from the public?
Hmmmm

I find it interesting no one is discussing the political implications of this. We know the Russians tested a missile. Why no conversation about that in the media? It's a serious issue. Of course there is also no discussion of our creation of missile defense systems but, all that aside....Shouldn't there be a crap ton of politicians out there screeching about the Ruskie threat now? I'm not saying this somehow proves thus wasn't a missile launch. I'm just stating I find the lack of conversation about Russia testing ICBM's relatively close to a NATO pact country a bit odd. It should be a big deal considering the treaties we have with them. (and I know it wasn't over norway, it was rather close though and i am not sure why the Russians went with that location. They have territorial waters that are further from NATO countries)
