Democrats like to suggest President Trump is weak on Russian President Vladimir Putin. In light of what Russia was up to on Wednesday, they should ask similar questions of their own nominee.

After all, the Russian navy claims to have test-fired its new Zircon hypersonic missile successfully. Designed to smash into American aircraft carriers operating hundreds of miles away, the Zircon can travel at speeds of more than 6,000 miles per hour. The latest missile test was apparently fired into the Barents Sea by the Northern Fleet frigate Admiral Gorshkov.
