Russia Conducts ICBM Test Launch Amid #Ukraine Crisis

Pretty fascinating.

At Reuters, "UPDATE 3-Russia test-fires ICBM amid tension over Ukraine."

And at the video the commentators are missing the obvious point: Russia needs to flex its nuclear muscles as as an attempt to remind the world that it's still a great power, if not a superpower. Sure, it's a routine test, but timing is everything. "Hey NATO, think twice about those massive troop deployment to bolster Ukraine okay guys? Thanks."
