I THINK VLAD FEELS LEFT OUT – AT 8:45 A.M. ET:  The Russians watch as we confront North Korea, China, and Iran.  They want to feel they're important, and they know how to do it.  From 124news.tv: 

Russia said Sunday it successfully launched a hypersonic missile which President Vladimir Putin called "an ideal weapon" as he unveiled a new array of next-generation arms earlier this month.

The high-precision Kinzhal (Dagger) missile was launched from a MiG-31 supersonic interceptor jet that took off from an airfield in the South Military District in Russia's southwest, the defense ministry said.

"The launch went according to plan, the hypersonic missile hit its target," the ministry added.

The ministry released video footage showing two pilots gearing up for a flight and then running towards a jet with a large missile slung beneath its underbelly. 

Set to rousing, patriotic music, the video then shows a missile detaching from the airborne plane and gliding across the dark sky, leaving a fiery trail behind.

COMMENT:  Far from being in collusion with Trump, Russia has been very aggressive toward him, and Trump has responded in kind. 

In 2012, Mitt Romney, now a Senate candidate in Utah, said that Russia was becoming our greatest strategic threat.  He was ridiculed, literally laughed at by Field Marshal of All of America Barack Obama.  Obama was wrong and Mitt was right.  Never trust the Russian bear.
