    How the heck does this intelligence department keep getting surprised. Surprised Taliban could take over Afghanistan in less than a month. They now are caught off guard that China and Russia have these bad boys that can go into space, fly around the world a couple times then reenter and hit a target within a couple dozen miles. They've been so worried about woke and CRT training that we forgot we have enemies that are building weapons that we may want to be able to defend against. We better step up and get are head out of collusion conspiracy chasers asses and back to defending this country.

    The US is behind on hypersonic missiles and artificial intelligence.

    But at least Biden made a transgender into a 4 star general today.

    Our Democrat leadership is more concerned with having the most diverse engineers, while China is focused on the best engineering.

    I have to ask if China did this by making advancements and improvements on the technology Clinton gave them in exchange for a campaign donation. And the way things are going these days, Fauci, or some other clown like him, helped fund the missile.

    Before I get outraged can you tell me what that position is?

    Oh look you’re still in fantasyland.

    Not sure what you are asking but you should be concerned this blindsided the military.

    And the cabbage patch doll weighs in. She just can't condemn China for making a provocative and aggressive move like this, I mean, who else would China use those missiles against, Taiwan?

    But this post isn't about being blindsided.

    It is another dems bad thread.

    As if china was sitting all humbly for the last 5 years but as soon as Trump left office they seized the moment and advanced their weapon technology 30 years in the span of 10 months.

    Odd they didn't call general Milley to let him know about it.

    They certainly didn’t have a problem bragging about it now. You think our response wouod have been the same with a different president? Hardly. This inventions ONLY purpose is bypassing our missile defenses. As usual Dems are unconcerned. What possible damage can a Communist regime bent on world Domination and the most vile human rights violations ever do:)

    You’ll be the first to bow down and kiss your new Communist overlords.

    No worries, our military is on top of this. Just check out the tweets from a major general in our military. With this kind of inspired and courageous leadership, how can we fail? Why should our military be wasting time worrying about super sonic Chinese flyovers when there are so nail colors to choose from?

    On an unrelated note, troop suicides are up 50% this year. I wonder why...

    Like I said, again this would be "Power of perception" and leftist/DNC "Power of suggestion".. One takes common sense the other takes no effort at all..

    Well that would be a trait I'm not familiar with, although you seem married to it though ;)

    Hey looky looky :)

    You admitted in your own post it was a guess.

    Why are you deflecting from your own guess?





    Sorry. I don't have my secret decoder ring on me at the moment. Can you kindly elaborate?

    No way china developed this in 6 months. This falls completely on Trump for the lack of intelligence gatherings. China was building world class missiles right under the noses of the Trump administration.

    No. Not peaceful hypersonic missiles.

    They were antifa missiles in disguise that police invited in for a casual tour. The bathrooms must have been closed though because they wiped feces on the wall.;)
