'We're winning this arms race,' Mattis says during workout at Kremlin gym

MOSCOW — On a recent visit to the Russian President's personal gym, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis declared that the United States was "clearly winning this arms race," sources confirmed today.

Mattis, who possesses imposing 20-inch arms, says the Russians are lagging far behind the U.S. in terms of both precision munitions and triceps definition.

In the country to discuss pressing issues of defense cooperation, Mattis told his counterparts that the US would not be intimidated by Russian posturing, even if Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev decided to strike another "most muscular" pose during his opening speech.
