The same happened in Russia. This was part of the treaty with Russia when the Cold War ended. This one was only allowed to stay open if the missile door was left open and that they cut a hole in the warhead to show that it is not armed and once a year a Russian satellite will zoom in and make sure it is still unarmed. At least that is the story that we were told.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-19454642674799759962015-02-16T21:25:03.592-05:002015-02-16T21:25:03.592-05:00You mentioned yesterday about food quality.
