By: a rare look inside the closed-off lands that house one of Russia's Nuclear ICBM Base. Everyone in the world has seen the American version of their Missilery but here is the Russian version. A lot of the sensitive equipment is papered over so as not to give away and specific methods or whatever, These men of the Strategic Rocket Forces have been trained to perform their duties down to the letter as have their counterparts in the USA and to a degree London too. As the reporter mentions the equipment on show may be called 'Old' but as for their function they work just as well as other systems. At a time of this present round of 'War-in-Europe' the rather weak Labour Leader of the United Kingdom doesn't realise he is now playing with the 'Big Boys' and should not be so loose with his desire for sending British troops directly into harms way when he is not taking into account just one Topol M can obliterate the heart of the nation in one swift move. Interestingly, and 'not a lot of people know' [that] if ever a conflict did occur and for whatever reason the Prime Minister is unable to 'press-the-button' so to speak who do you think takes on this awesome role and responsibility... after all, it's got to be some one senior hasn't it... so, does the Queen or King take on that role
or does the Chief's of Staff (for the combined forces) have the say-so? nope it's none of those if it comes down to a stand-in the the absent PM it goes to [Drum Role] 'The Chancellor of the Exchequer' - the Chief Money man! Well, when not too long ago a Labour Chancellor (Denis Healy) revealed in his memoirs that he abdicated this responsibly of [say] retaliating after a nuclear attack on the country he said his Christian Principles would not have allowed him to retaliate irrespective of what was does to the county and to kill millions of Russians in return [presumably]. So, we had a Greeny in charge - and if it happened now we'd have the Right Honourable Rachel Reed to do the necessary - what a frickin mess eh.
