What Russia's Missile Launch Really Means

I discuss the recent missile launch by Russia, analyzing the type of missile used, its implications for national security, and the strategic messaging behind it.

I explain the confusion surrounding the missile's classification as either an ICBM or IRBM and the potential consequences of this ambiguity.

I also highlight the importance of testing new missile technology in real-world conditions and the escalation dynamics between the US and Russia.
