New Russian president vows to fund nuclear weapons

Posted by Matt in May 16th, 2008

President Dmitry Medvedev made his debut as the commander in chief of Russia’s armed forces Thursday, touring a missile base and promising to provide the funding needed for nuclear forces to counter global threats.

Medvedev inspected Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missiles and spoke to officers at the base near Teikovo, a town in the Ivanovo region some 150 miles northeast of Moscow.

“I’m impressed by both the weapons and the level of training,” Medvedev said after inspecting the missiles, which are concealed by the military in a dense pine forest. “It’s good that the military is getting new missiles like the Topol-M.”

Nuclear Weapons, Nuclear War and World War III - WWIII
A nuclear fireball lights up the night in a United States nuclear test. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of a fissile atom (in this case, enriched uranium) absorbs a thermal neutron, becomes unstable, and splits into two new atoms, releasing some energy and between one and three new neutrons, which can perpetuate the process. UC Berkeley physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer led the Allied scientific effort at Los Alamos. Massive new physics machines were assembled at secret installations around the United States for the production of enriched uranium and plutonium. The two fission bomb assembly methods. The atomic fireball at the "Trinity" nuclear test secretly rang in the atomic age. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed tens of thousands of Japanese civilians. The "Mike" shot...

Jack Matlock: US Policy, Nuclear Weapons, Russia, Global Warming
US foreign policy has inadvertently sent the message that if you want to be safe, you should get nuclear weapons, and has made it very difficult to cooperate on solving the big issues such as global warming. This is an excerpt from an interview with David Speedie, as part of the Carnegie Council U.S. Global Initiative program. For more, go to http://www.carnegiecouncil.org

Russia (Soviet) nuclear test
"Tsar Bomba" ("King of Bombs"): The World's Largest Bomb largest nuclear weapon Time: 30 October 1961 Location: Parachute retarded airburst, 4000 m altitude Over Novaya Zemlya Island test range (in the Arctic Sea) Yield: 50 Megatons Shown here in the Russian Atomic Weapon Museum, the "Tsar Bomba" was the largest nuclear weapon ever constructed or detonated. This three stage weapon was actually a 100 megaton bomb design, but the uranium fusion tamper of the teritiary (and probably secondary) stage(s) was replaced by one made of lead to eliminate fast fission by the fusion neutrons. The result was also the cleanest weapon ever tested with 97% of the energy coming from fusion reactions. This weapon was developed in a remarkably short time. On 10 July 1961 Nikita Khruschev met with...

Russia nuclear device - ロシア 核実験
Soviet Union developed their first atomic bomb (Joe 1) and tested it on August 29, 1949 at Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan. The yield was 22 kilotons of TNT. During the 1950s these included new hydrogen bomb designs, which were tested in the Pacific, and also new and improved fission weapon designs. The Soviet Union also began testing on a limited scale, primarily in Kazakhstan.

Russian Defence Chief flags pre-emptive strike
Pre-emptive nuclear strikes may be used to defend Russia, according to the country's Chief of Armed Forces General Staff, Yury Baluevsky. He says no attack is planned but a nuclear strategy to ensure national security is needed.

Half-Life² - Cold War scars, Episode 1
The effects of a second Cold War The Story is this: The second Cold War started in the year 2060. The cause was that a diplomat of Russia and several scientist dissapeared on there way to U.S.A. America denied that they would have ever reached the White House or even the airport. But Russia suspected them for the missing people and declared war on U.S.A. after several miss understandings. Only after a year since the war started Russia launched a nuclear weapon which hit somewhere on the western coast of America killing people and destroying structures. In response U.S.A launched there one nuclear weapon on Russia which hit somewhere to the north of Moscow at 200km distance, but with effect, eradicating some small towns and a important city. In the year 2067 U.S.A invaded Russia sieging...

BUSH IS A LIAR! TREASON ! NUCLEAR IRAN / RUSSIA SCANDAL
House Committee on Energy: "Only this Administration would complain about proliferation in Iran, as part of President Bush's nuclear axis of evil, and then finance it with American taxpayer dollars," said Dingell. "Heads should roll." Washington, DC -- A highly touted Department of Energy (DOE) nonproliferation program, which is intended to keep Soviet-era scientists from migrating to rogue states following the collapse of the Soviet Union, has been funding Russian research institutes that support nuclear projects in Iran, two key lawmakers said today in a letter to Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman. Reps. John D. Dingell (D-MI), Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Bart Stupak (D-MI), Chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, wrote Bodman regarding the...

The Russian TSAR BOMBA Political Climate Before & After
Tsar Bomba (Царь-бомба, literally "Emperor Bomb") is the Western name for the RDS-220 (codenamed "Ivan" by its developers), which was the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb was originally designed to have a yield of about 100 megatons of TNT, however that was reduced by half in order to limit the amount of nuclear fallout that would result. Two bombs were built, a mock bomb and the real bomb; the real bomb was tested on October 30, 1961, in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago. Despite testing, the weapon never entered service; it was simply a demonstration of the capabilities of the Soviet Union's military technology at that time. The mock bomb was stored in the Russian Nuclear Weapons Museum in Sarov. Soviet Premier Nikita...

McCain prepared to talk nukes with Russia
U.S. Republican Presidential candidate John McCain has said he will seek talks with Russia on reducing nuclear weapons if he makes it to the White House. Speaking at the University of Denver, McCain said he would move rapidly to make sure both countries have a much smaller nuclear arsenal.

Race for the Nuclear Bomb- Part 5/5
History of nuclear weapons chronicles the development of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are devices that possess enormous destructive potential that uses energy derived from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion reactions. Starting with the scientific breakthroughs of the 1930s which made their development possible, continuing through the nuclear arms race and nuclear testing of the Cold War, and finally with the questions of proliferation and possible use for terrorism in the early 21st century. The first fission weapons, also known as "atomic bombs," were developed in, and partially by, the United States during World War II in what was called the Manhattan Project. In August 1945 two were dropped on Japan. An international team was dispatched to help work on the project. The Soviet Union...

Stockpile - The New Nuclear Menace trailer
Stockpile - The New Nuclear Menace trailer Watch full film Here: http://www.joiningthedots.tv/main.aspx?level=&content=355199857&search=nuclear Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the threat of a nuclear war between the USA and Russia has diminished. However, the threat posed by nuclear weapons and materials on both sides has increased. As nuclear weapons age, they become unstable and begin to behave in unpredictable ways. This film is the first to go behind the scenes in Arzamas-16 - the Russian nuclear city so secret that it has never appeared on any map - and the American nuclear weapons laboratory at Los Alamos, New Mexico, to see Russian and American bomb designers working together to reduce the risk. Unprecedented access and the inclusion of archive material granted...

TO Russia, With Love: The New Cold War?
Say, what? I am watching this segment on Fox News, and didn't pay it much attention, until I heard the theory that we should share technology with Russia. Talking about a bad idea! While we are trying to shield Europe from an attack by Iranian nuclear weapons, now Russia, Vladimir Putin is saying that he will point his missles at Europe. Who's side is he on? If Iran can't hit Europe, don't worry, Russia can. There has been talk about Russia and Iran having a mutual defense pact. Talk about a pre-emptive strike on Iran because of their nuclear ambitions, and now Russia has been motivated to start talking tough... Coincidence? Maybe I should just try to worry about the Cubs ever winning another game.... This stuff is getting too scary.
