00:00Russian President Vladimir Putin has been bragging about his new, quote,

00:05invincible nuclear missile. Now, those are his words, but I'm also really heavily using some

00:11air quotes here. Now, it was tested over the weekend, and if you buy the Russian propaganda,

00:16it was a huge success. Here's how it's supposed to work. The giant nuclear-powered rocket can

00:23theoretically carry a nuclear warhead just about anywhere in the world, say, to New York or

00:28Washington, D.C. One Russian general called it a tiny flying Chernobyl. Not the most comforting

00:35imagery. And Putin believes it to be a unique product unlike anything else in the world.

00:41The Russian leader also asked his military to identify potential uses for it and begin preparing

00:47for its deployment. I mean, not to put too fine of a point on it, but I'm positive I know what

00:54old Vlad there wants to do with it. And so does President Trump. As you might expect,

00:59the president is not simply shrugging this off. He fired back during a chat with reporters during

01:04his Asia trip Monday. They know we have a nuclear submarine, the greatest in the world, right off

01:09their shores. So, I mean, it doesn't have to go 8,000 miles. They're not playing games with us.

01:14We're not playing games with them either.
