Putin threatens US arms race with new missiles declaration

Vladimir Putin has announced that Russia has developed and is testing a new line of strategic, nuclear-capable weapons that would be able to outmanoeuvre US antiballistic missile defences, suggesting a new arms race between Moscow and the west.
Speaking in a nationally televised address to Russia’s political elite, the president showed both video and animation of Russian ICBMs, nuclear-powered cruise missiles, underwater drones, and other weapons that he said Russia had developed as a result of the US pulling out of the 1972 antiballistic missile treaty signed with the Soviet Union.


The USA is going through the same thing the Soviet Union went through when it imploded.
A massive unsustainable military, a dying centrally planned economy that does not work (think Fed QE etc..), and military quagmires everywhere.Internally things are similar in too many ways to the Soviet Implosion.  
Putin sees this and is just warning the USA to manage its meltdown peacefully.
