I thought Medvedev was sane...didn't realize he had become a mouth piece for Putin. Maybe he's getting rich off it.

Problem with that is you can't really hide where the originating missile came from. And literally no one in the world is going to believe Putin when he tries to claim the US or Israel or the UK or India or Pakistan or France sent the nuke after him.

You guys keep talking about this concept "the rest of the world wont believe" .. in the nuclear escalation of this WW3 brew, there is NO referee to pass this judgement. It wont matter.

considering that he was president between Putin terms I'd say he was always in Putin's pocket.
I thought he was a reluctant participant in holding power until Putin was able to change the laws allowing him to stay on indefinitely. IIRC him and Obama had a decent relationship, so thought he was not fully a puppet.

They aren't even making a cursory attempt to target something there.
Piss away the munitions and RTB so as not to die.

Looks to me like some deliberate indirect fire tactic, notice how both choppers launched their rockets form the same approximate position. I doubt they'll hit anything but what can they do, all those MANPADS are scary :)

You don't really want to survive the nuclear apocalypse.
I think I'm in the zone of greatest unpleasantness, fifteen miles from the missile factory and air base, close enough to witness the festivities and get irradiated but probably not close enough to get immediately dead.
