It's Probably Nothing:
National Interest says the payload weighs ten tons and could carry 15 warheads: ... the Sarmat is being designed specifically to overcome ballistic missile defenses using a combination of decoys, a host of countermeasures and sheer speed. It might also be equipped with maneuvering warheads—which would make it much more difficult to intercept. Russia has a robust, and accelerating, bomb shelter building program. One of 'em in the Ural Mountains is 400 square miles. Underground. Where are our shelters? Anyone? Woodpile Report

What sort of moron thought that siting missiles on Russia's borders wouldn't meet with a response?
Did these dipshits learn nothing from the NATO act of aggression that precipitated the Cuban missile crisis?

Dear Mr. Jones, What history book are you using for your information?
All the ones that I have available are missing the chapter(s) where the Russkies established missiles in Cuba by thwarting the will of America, JFK and the US Navy, not to mention GOD!
Please let us know so that we all can be on the same page(s).

The precipitating event was the US's siting of missiles along Turkey's Russian border.
I suspect you went to a government school, so yes, the pages were torn out and what was left was lies.

Everybody knows the callow adventurer Kennedy put nukes on missiles in Turkey. Nukes in Cuba was tit-for-tat. The Americans would have none of it (especially because it seemed like naked Soviet aggression), so Kennedy was forced into humiliating brinkmanship. To keep his Presidency, he had to work a secret deal with the Soviets: you publicly remove missiles from Cuba, we'll secretly remove our nukes from Turkey.
If the public had known that boy Kennedy's action brought us to the brink, he would have been finished.
Fortunate for him he had a Palace Guard who censored all the news to prevent any tarnish to the Camelot legend.
Sorry VW, BJ is right, and you went to a government school that self-censored any badthink about Saint Kennedy.
