Even more disturbing is the discovery that Russia is building a deadly weapon. Engineers have modified the STATUS-6, a strategic nuclear-propelled, nuclear armed torpedo that is already operational, into a stealthy first strike weapon: \u003ci\u003eDrakon\u003c\/i\u003e. This new tool would allow the Russians to launch a completely covert nuclear decapitation strike on the USA. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new Russian president has plans for Europe, and is more than willing to use nuclear blackmail—or an actual attack—to keep the Americans from interfering.
