#1 ...It takes weeks for us to do an ICBM livefire, I'm guessing that at the very least the Russians need the same amount of time. Put another way, the SATAN II test was probably scheduled long before we told them Biden was coming.

The question here is - given the failure - was it originally scheduled for that day, or did somebody order it launched whether it was ready or not.

#2 Since Biden’s trip also took extensive planning curious if he timed it to be on the date of the launch to demonstrate he had cojones.
