Well, I guess it'd been five or six minutes since I read something in the media trying to stir people up about Russia. I'm still trying to figure out just why this full-court press is being put on, when there seems to be so little to be gained by brinksmanship, but that's all above my pay grade.
The Russian/Soviet/Russian defense industry has a pretty long history of fiddling with over-the-top weapons systems, very few of which ever are quite as successful as feared.
