Reports: Russia tests 2nd sub-launched missile

MOSCOW (AP) - News agencies say Russia has successfully tested its second submarine-launched ballistic missile in as many days.

RIA-Novosti and Interfax quote the head of Russia's joint chief of staff as saying a Sineva-type missile was fired Tuesday from the submarine Bryansk near the White Sea.

Gen. Nikolai Makarov was quoted as saying it was a short-range test for the Sineva.

Russia is struggling to introduce the newer, more-sophisticated Bulava missile into service, but it has failed in five of 10 launches.

Russian leaders say the Bulava will be able to penetrate missile defenses and will be a key part of the military's future nuclear arsenal.

Translation: FUCK YOU, Obama! What a bunch of naive fools we have in charge. All they are saying is give peace a chance, and mean ol Russia just continues as if the world and human nature didn't change with O's ascension to Dear Leader of the world. I mean, they didn't even let a month pass after his visit. Don't they know he is Black? Don't they risk being called 'racist' for not at least pretending to take him seriously?
