Putin Unveils 'Invincible' Nuclear Missile, Sarmat, as Protest Claims Debunked

Russian President Vladimir Putin has showcased a new 'invincible' nuclear missile, dubbed the 'Sarmat' or 'Satan 2'. The weapon, developed by Russia's state defense industry, was personally announced and demonstrated by Putin in 2018. However, the claim of a crowd of 'No Kings' in Boston protesting the missile's development has been debunked as fake.

The Sarmat, also known as the RS-28, is a nuclear-powered, maneuverable missile designed to carry multiple warheads. Its unpredictable trajectory and unlimited range pose a significant threat, according to experts. Meanwhile, a whistleblower was fired in Kentucky for reporting a scheme to issue driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants. In an unrelated incident, Leonardo DiCaprio was stopped and searched by police in Ibiza, but they did not recognize the actor.

In New York, a mother from Queens was arrested for allegedly abandoning her newborn baby at a subway station. The incident has sparked outrage and an investigation. In a separate development, a marketing agency created a group to promote a local business, clarifying that it was not a political protest.

The unveiling of Russia's new nuclear missile has raised international news concerns. Meanwhile, misinformation about protests and licensing schemes have been addressed, and a high-profile celebrity experienced an ordinary police encounter. A distressing incident in New York has also drawn attention.
