Misplaced paranoia
Zhirinovsky, who is most likely a provocateur devised by Putin to make anti-Putin politics look stupid, has fulfilled his provo function nicely in connection with the Chelyabinsk meteor. He says it's an American secret weapon.
I wish he could be right! Zhirinovsky lives in a country where the military is still normal, so he assumes other armies are also normal. He hasn't kept up with developments over here.
Our milifairy is no longer developing weapons. It's developing Super-tough Milspec Royal Doulton Tea Services and Rad-hardened Milspec Dildos.

Bit later:
Another Russian comes up with a tremendously sensible response to the event...
“Instead of building a European missile defence system, the United States should join us and China in creating the AADS – the Anti-Asteroid Defence System,” said Alexei Pushkov, head of the International Committee of the Duma.
Excellent idea, therefore it won't happen.
