I've Been Thinking:
Russia recently did another test of their newest nuclear missile. The Russians named this missile the Bulava which means "mace" in Russian.
The missile was launched from a submarine. It has a range of 3400 miles and the ability to strike half way around the world. The Bulava is called an intercontinental missile for a very good reason.
The Bulava is set to be the cornerstone of Russia's new nuclear arsenal. The Russians covered the test in their media. In the past they have posted Youtube video clips of the launch of Bulava missiles from submarines.
The question now is what is the market value of the Bulava and to which countries can Russia sell this missile. The real money in nuclear missiles is in sales.
This kind of weapon is not defensive, it is offensive only. The simple fact of developing and/or acquiring this missile says everything.
