Der Spiegel published a few interesting pictures today which Nasa-Astronaut Mike Hopkins und Esa-Astronaut Luca Parmitano snapped from the ISS:
It`s a trail left behind when the Russians tested their (illegally) modified RS 12M 3 stage Topol ICBM, Nato codename "Sickle".
It`s not that "Sickle" flew a zig-zag course. That`s how erratic upper winds (and their direction) that determine local weather conditions are .
The ISS astronauts also tweeted a picture of a gigantic
cloud that "Sickle" spewed out:
It was generated when the 3.rd stage was used in a retrofire mode so that the warhead would impact at only 2000 km downrange...which made it an illegal test according to the INF treaty the Russians had signed which is supposed to phase out short range ballistic missiles such as the American "Pershings" the Soviets wanted gone from Western Europe.
Which just goes to show yet again that such international agreements & treaties aren`t worth the paper they are written on.
And we are all supposed to believe if we cut our CO2 emissions that the rest of the world will follow our example..???
If that strategy does not even work with treaties limiting nuclear weapons which are by far the greatest threat to humanity and our planet then one would have to be extremely naive to think that countries such as Russia or China would give a damn how we cripple our industry and technology for the sake of emitting less CO2. They can sit back and watch us cripple our industry just as effective as they could do with surgical strikes.
This AGW ideology has a lot in common with a trojan horse and is perhaps even more effective than any cyber attack that can be devised to cripple most of our industry and negate the advantages we have worked so hard to achieve.
I wonder what it will take till Liberals wake up and smell the coffee
Russia successfully test-fires Topol ballistic missile ? RT News
Had Obama been around when Hitler rose to power we`ld all be living under the heels of Nazi jack-boots today !

Obama and his "red lines" have become the world`s laughing stock. Bush may have not been the brightest but at least he kept up Reagan`s policies which had not only kept the Russians in check but which were also instrumental in the demise of the Soviet Union.Russia successfully test-fires Topol ballistic missile
