    Some dipshit reporter will look earnestly at the audience and say “How is this possible? How did this happen?” As if it’s a mystery.

    The investigation will then result in jailing few middle-grade people from MIC and military and everthing will be back to even bigger scandal with new ICBM project normal

      And the Cold War 2.0 is on the horizon. This time surely featuring Russia and China. And somewhere in hell there will be endless laughter booming all the time. It’ll be from Reagan and his cronies once they hear about Star Wars 2.0. Imagine how much that tech will cost.

        I would argue we never even left the first Cold War, we only had a slight thawing for some time, but now we are again in it co,mpletely with proxy wars, (modified) red scare, yellow peril and even iron curtain is again visible. Even Star Wars is back, but as a farce. Space Farce.

          I know that will have insane cost overruns. But I meant an actual, nonsense system of “gee-whiz-bang” laser (etc) tech that will never work because having it work was a big lie to begin with. This project would be at least a multi-trillion dollar intentional boondoggle created to routinely suck up ginormous amounts of cash. Star Wars 1.0 was designed that way but it never actually - cough - got off the ground.

            Exactly. Also China already managed to humiliate them greatly with the magnetic cannon, and will even more in the future.
