FT.com / Europe - Russia's nuclear missile forces chief quits
The commander of Russia's strategic nuclear missile forces has resigned, Interfax news agency reported on Monday, the latest in a spate of departures from the military top brass.

Interfax quoted unnamed sources as saying General Nikolai Solovtsov would shortly leave his post as head of the missile forces, after reaching the retirement age of 60 in February.

QUITS, I tell you. Quits says the headline. Nuclear~! Quits. Stir up the FUD.

Retires. How mundane.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
