It Is A Jolly Time...

 ... now in Kiev and Russian cruise missiles (you know, which Russia ran out of two years ago) are "visiting" Artem--the military plant for VSU. The visits will continue... including to certain locations where certain individuals not from 404 sit. 

Moreover, Russia is NOT going to be discussing any arms treaties with the US and that's it, Mr. Ryabkov stated today (in Russian). Indeed, discuss with who? But also--about WHAT? Russia is not going to be limiting anything related to the latest weapon systems because knows that the US lost this race. In other words, the US has nothing to bargain with. This is fresh, from today...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Pentagon program to replace some of its aging intercontinental ballistic missiles will be years behind schedule and 81% over budget, the U.S. military said on Monday. The project, now named the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile program, is designed and managed by Northrop Grumman, and aims to replace aging Minuteman III missiles. The program is estimated to cost $140.9 billion, up 81% from a cost estimate in September 2020. "We are fully aware of the costs, but we are also aware of the risks of not modernizing our nuclear forces and not addressing the very real threats we confront," U.S. Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment William LaPlante told reporters. LaPlante certified that the program should continue despite the cost overrun. "There are reasons for the cost growth, but there are no excuses. We are already working to address the root causes, and more importantly, we believe we are on the right path to defend our nation," LaPlante added.The majority of the cost growth is associated with launch facilities, launch centers and other processes involved with converting from Minuteman III to Sentinel.
