When asked whether Vladimir Putin was a “killer,” President Joe Biden responded, “I do.” [https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/18/world/europe/russia-biden-putin-killer.html] Biden’s response to an on-air question from ABC on March 17, has strained the Moscow-Washington relationship. Russia recalled its ambassador, while Putin name-checked Biden with caustic commentary and threw down the gauntlet, demanding a public debate with the American president. International pundits are already speaking of a new Cold War.
Is this Biden’s foreign policy, a 180-degree turn from his predecessor? In some respects, this is undoubtedly the case: a return to the 2015 Paris Agreement and a mending of relationships with the European Union and NATO. When it comes to Russia, however, the more likely answer is no, this is not Biden’s foreign policy.

In recent years, the Air Force has continued to upgrade and update the aging warbird – and the plan is for the B-1 fleet to remain in service well into the 2030s when the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider enters service.
The United States Air Force has tested ways that the Cold War-era Boeing B-1B Lancer could be used to carry hypersonic weapons externally. External pylons were originally designed for use on the B-1s but were later scrapped to comply with the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). Recently the Air Force has taken the opinion that the return to the use of external hardpoints would not violate the New START agreement.
