Russia lists hypersonic missile targets in the US

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian state television has listed U.S. military facilities that Moscow would target in the event of a nuclear strike, and said that a hypersonic missile Russia is developing would be able to hit them in less than five minutes.

The targets included the Pentagon and the presidential retreat in Camp David, Maryland.

The report, unusual even by the sometimes bellicose standards of Russian state TV, was broadcast on Sunday evening, days after President Vladimir Putin said Moscow was militarily ready for a "Cuban Missile"-style crisis if the United States wanted one.

With tensions rising over Russian fears that the United States might deploy intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe as a Cold War-era arms-control treaty unravels, Putin has said Russia would be forced to respond by placing hypersonic nuclear missiles on submarines near U.S. waters.

The United States says it has no immediate plans to deploy such missiles in Europe and has dismissed Putin's warnings as disingenuous propaganda. It does not currently have ground-based intermediate-range nuclear missiles that it could place in Europe.

However, its decision to quit the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty over an alleged Russian violation, something Moscow denies, has freed it to start developing and deploying such missiles.

Putin has said Russia does not want a new arms race, but has also dialled up his military rhetoric.

FalsePromise

Sounds like some good rocket or whatever.

Jokes aside, these people (US, Russia etc.) threaten with bombs and rockets, wars with those powerfull weapons would not only destroy their lands but the Earth too, and they'd have nowhere to live. 

If this world was not driven by power and money and more focused on good relations and true peace we'd all live better.

Gosh. Why can't the news from around the world be like... Putin pets a puppy and isn't evil. Trump pets a puppy and then gets kicked out of office. But no. Living through history means living through global warming, the trump presidency, and the Cold War 2.0.  :sick:

As always, I ask myself how and why we allow these foolish world leaders to decide whether we live or die.

My life doesn't belong to Vladimir, Donald, Kim, or anyone besides myself
