    China is[undoubtedly ahead of the Americans in developing hypersonic weapons technology (as are the Russians). That’s a sad state of affairs, considering that the United States has been researching these weapons for decades.

    Lmao what an ice cold bucket of water to start with. I don’t know if these people have a necessity to paint the US as a clumsy, pitiful country like a white guy in an informercial or if they really think whatever they write

      Did you see the byline?

Weichert, a National Interest national security analyst, is a former Congressional staffer and geopolitical analyst who is a contributor at The Washington Times, the Asia Times, and The-Pipeline. He is the author of Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower, Biohacked: China’s Race to Control Life, and The Shadow War: Iran’s Quest for Supremacy.

      This guy’s whole thing is fearmongering about the Fall of The West to get even more military industrial complex funding.
