Within
the past week Russia has made some powerful moves in regards to bombs and
missiles. Earlier in the week, Russia made a statement that they had come to an
agreement with Iran to build two new nuclear reactor plants in their county, as
well as the possibilities of many more in the future. As the agreement comes to
a settlement, it shows that Russia has bigger plans than maybe expected when it
comes to making sure other countries know how potentially powerful they can be.
One thing to make clear however; Nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs are not the
same thing. Nuclear reactors are a set of chain reactions- reactions that can
be controlled. Nuclear bombs are not controlled, therefore they can cause much
more harm than nuclear reactors, since once detonated, no one knows the amount
of destruction the bombs could cause.
Then
in the later week Russia made another announcement. As stated by Fox News reporter Shepard
Smith, Russia, who is backed by China, was to deploy long-range missile
bombers over the Gulf of Mexico. This shows the ongoing tension and battle
between the Ukraine and Russia forces. Fox news reports that Russia did not
seek permission with other countries to use their ports to refuel and use of other
resources and feel that since the Chinese are backing them they can do whatever they
please. Shepard Smith states that according to Gordan Chang , Putin is “flaunting” his
relationship with China and telling the rest of the world that he can do as he
pleases and that the United States can not stop him.

We are in constant talks about threats from Russian and China. Who do you think is the bigger threat to America and who do you think is a bigger threat to world peace? There is an increase in nuclear research, building, and activity throughout the world, so is it that surprising that Russia is still funding nuclear investments?
