Washington has declared war Moscow. No, not geopolitical, for which we have become accustomed to watching lately. It is a confrontation of the "nuclear briefcase" in the world. The first milestone demonstrates the US struggle today.
In Der Spiegel the US learned about the plans to increase the power of nuclear weapons in the European Union. Washington liked the old and trusted friend - Germany. So it was decided to modernize the nuclear weapons in the possession of the Germans.
In particular, Washington is planning to launch in 2020 a batch production of atomic bombs V61-12 type. Add a modernized nuclear weapons is planned on a military base in Büchel, Germany, where currently there are about 20 nuclear warheads.
In addition, the US Congress is going to change the Pentagon's funding program beduyuschy year. There is already a Washington Post in an article, citing sources in the Ministry, said that the proposal will apply to increase the development of weapons aimed at protection from nuclear attack. The new amendment will allow the next US president to significantly increase the production of weapons, including nuclear weapons.
However, in the United States are mistaken if naively believe that the Kremlin's response to long to wait. Each region of the Russian Federation is equipped with high-class missile and air defense systems. In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense gets new S-400 (C-500 in the near future), "Bastion", "Perimeter" and others who are able to reflect almost any attack, and to answer it.
And since the United States officially announce us the arms race, and with a strong nuclear "subtext", let only themselves to blame when will not go out of business. Russia is quite hard on the legs, hard to give a convincing answer.
