I cannot possibly be the only American who sees this item as one filled with curious coincidence.

The Russians have just launched a new generation intercontinental ballistic missile. They have named it — get ready for it — Satan 2.

That’s right. The Russians have named a missile after the Devil himself!

What does the president of the United States, Donald John Trump, say about it? Not a thing that I’ve heard. Why should he say something critical of this demonstration? Oh, let’s see. He courts the American evangelical Christian voters who comprise a big part of his political base.

Aren’t those voters vehemently, fervently opposed to anything referring to Satan? Sure they are! Hey, so am I!

I don’t know about you, but I would consider a Russian missile — which that government well might be aiming at U.S. targets — to be prime grist for intense criticism.

What’s more, the Russians have invoked the name of all that is evil.

Are they intending to use it potentially for evil purposes?

It’s fair to ask. Isn’t it?
