Years ago some highly intelligent and creative people in america came up with an idea that was actually quite brilliant, as well as utterly horrific.
Project Pluto, AKA the flying crowbar.

From a technical and scientific viewpoint it was a stroke of genius, tho I'm not sure the computer tech of the day could handle it unlike today.
From a a moral, ethical and basically human POV it was an abominable monstrosity.
It inspired a SF horror movie, it was such a clever and awful idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Missile
You've heard of that nuclear reactor disaster in russia just now that has radiation levels thru the roof in the area? Well, guess what that that filthy piece of evil putin was working on?

Yep, leave it to one of the most evil leaders on earth today to try ressurecting this abomination, a weapon with no defensive value, just a weapon of mass death and disaster.
So first america had an idea, a movie was based on it, now putin wants to make it a reality.
You know I hope the leaders of the free world, mainly the EU, britain, maybe japan and a few other countries like india, get together and openly tell old vladimir if he doesn't drop this idea at once they will combine their economic power into an all out economic offensive on russia aimed at imploding it's economy.
And believe it or not, russia's whole national economy is barely the size of new york states.
"4. America's third largest state economy—New York with a GDP in 2015 of $1.45 trillion—produced nearly the same amount of economic output last year as Canada ($1.55 trillion) and would have ranked as the world's 11th largest economy last year as a separate country, ahead of both South Korea ($1.38 trillion) and Russia ($1.32 trillion). "(Wow, i never knew south korea outranked russia economically.)
I wish we could count on American to take part in this economic ultimatum to russia, but until at least 2021 we can't.
And if old vlad decides to put on his russian bear suit and get intimidating, remind him england and france have nuclear arsenals and theirs may be smaller than russias but are likely in better shape and more reliable.
I wish we has leaders in the free world that would make is loud and clear to russia that there will be absolutely nothing but disaster for the people of it if they pursue this horrific weapon and until they drop it absolutely the pressure will keep rising until their economy collapses, and military action will result in destruction for them.
This whole thing started with a brilliant and horrible idea created in an american military think tank, which became a decent B movie. I hope that b movie doesn't become a terrible reality.
