George Bush long ago announced his intention that America have a new generation of nuclear weapons. North Korea has since tested a device and we're told that Iran is working on its own. The Arab states, including America's allies, have said they'd like to experiment with 'peaceful' nuclear technology. And now it's Russia, a nation that's rapidly sliding back toward its totalitarian roots.
The Guardian reports that Russia wants to spruce up its missile arsenal, replacing the old single, warheads with multiple warheads, sort of like putting a racing engine in the old Chevy.
Czar/President Vladimir Putin says the deployment of Topol-M missiles on mobile launchers was a ``serious step forward in strengthening Russia's defense capability.''
