#1 He (Putin) also claimed that the missile had a successful test launch in late 2017.

The U.S. intelligence community quickly disputed that claim. According to reports leaked to the press, the Pentagon believes that after a test in November the missile flew for just a few minutes before crashing into the sea. Several other tests also ended in failure.

Essentially, Russia has an untestable missile because, as the US found out in the 1960's, to test it means contaminating a large part of your country or the waters surrounding it. Another of Putin's propaganda "V Weapons".

He'd be head of the education department within the first 30 days. There would be no discipline problems and he would see to it that the curriculum provided an eventual pathway to success for the internees.

Certainly that’s what the camp overseers would be allowed to see. But success has an infinite number of definitions, all dependent on who is defining it.

Underneath, the inmates would all have pooled their various expertises to form escape and sabotage projects — especially sabotage to be executed both within the camp and beyond it, to include those believed to have been turned to AOC’s cause. They would look to the example of the Haganah back in the old days, and of certain Nazi concentration camp populations, the Warsaw Ghetto, and so forth. All it takes is a leader with a certain set of knowledge and skills to set the ball rolling.
