No posts from Matt - is he writing his book?

ANd now pustin decided to fire off a test ICBM... just close to the border of Finland, because of course.
Then the Russian defense ministry shows up saying "nothing to see here, just a standard and routine test". Right afterwards, Pustin shows up saying the West better not meddle in Russian affairs, and blah, blah...
I know he just recently got rid of another 150 FSB agents, so he's obviously worried about a coup. Let's hope those worries become true, because this is getting way out of hand. This guy is quite obviously delusional, and needs to be removed from power.
Is that been told to you by medias? Plesetck - Russian military space port existed from 1957. Every year there are up to 20 launches. Is it news for you?

Yes, as I said, as the Russian defense ministry already said just a standard and routine test on the border of Finland. The fact it's happening just as Finland is about to join NATO just happens to be a coincidence.
Same as Putin showing up on TV just after the test basically threatening the West. Just a coincidence.
Finland?
At first: Sarmat has been tested in 2017 few times already in Plesetck, isn't it too late to cry about Plesetck and Finland in 2022?
At second: Matt, what is your math grade? It is not possible to target Finland from Plesetck - Finland is too close to space port for to use ballistic missile.
But Plesetck is most closest launch port to Canada. "Sarmat" has unbelievable speed 15M (25,560 km/h (15,880 mph); 7.1 km/s (4.4 mi/s)) and will reach Toronto in 23-25 minutes over North Pole. But preferable direction is over South Pole because US and Canada haven't anti-rocket defense from South direction, and in any case there are no any anti-missiles what are able to stop "Sarmat" because of high speed.

The fact that you presume to know what the US and Canadian defense systems are capable of is a bit rich.
The U.S. doesn't flaunt their defense systems, as information (and data) related to advanced defense systems, especially those which rely on newer technologies are classified as "Top Secret" for good reasons.
And unless you worked in a high level capacity for a U.S. Defense Agency you would not be privy to this information.
It was reported after Trump left office that he wasn't even aware of some of the more advanced military technologies and systems because he couldn't be trusted to keep his mouth shut.
Some countries (like Russia and N. Korea) enjoy having parades to showcase their military strength. The U.S. prefers letting boy scouts and circus clowns entertain the masses.
All US tests are clearly visible. In satellite century you can't hide any "top secrets" tests. Technology - yes, is possible to hide, but characteristics. Because you need tests in nature and all tests are visible and may be measured. Moreover: each country warns about tests all other countries in advance: for to avoid "misunderstanding".
