Postmodern Ring of Doom Watch - Russia to deploy new type of nuclear missile

Russia to deploy new type of nuclear missile I don't believe this. Why is Russia doing this? What do they hope to achieve? I can understand that the US antiballistic missile shield tends to destabilize the deterrence concept, but 1. I thought the Cold War was over, and 2. At least it's a shield, not a new weapons system! These kinds of moves seem to demonstrate that Russia has the kind of paranoid leadership we have long suspected them of having. I guess the Cold War's still not over! Sauron is pleased. I wonder if this means the Doomsday Clock will be set closer to midnight, again? Cyr Currently it's set to seven minutes to midnight. What do you think? BTW, for those of you wondering, the title for the post is taken from my assertion that nuclear weapons are the postmodern world's Ring of Doom - more about this later.
