Even if Russians weapons are overstated, the main idea of this article still stands. I'm not aware of the new weapons, so I still see the US empire as serving as the police officer of the world. President Obama said that part of American exceptionalism to him was that we were the only ones with ability to project force around the world. That's not what it means to me. I think he was justifying attacking Syria that time. President Trump, who I think is a clown who says whatever random thought enters his mind, rightly asks why it's up to the US, but then when there was chemical weapons use in Syria, he intervened just as President Obama or Hillary Clinton would have. Maybe I would do the same thing, not knowing how to stop being the demi-king of an empire.

All of this gives me the idea that US really is the police officer of the world. Russia would like to be, but they're not up to it yet. So US maintains the post-WWII norms, building up more and more debt, becoming every year more like the Roman Empire.

Hi Robert,
I just found this very short clip that I will attach the link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5Rol....
Viewing it was certainly eye opening to me.
It appeared to basically launch from well underground.
The result , my guess is that the signature of intense heat from lift off is shielded. I suppose that would make it much more difficult for early detection by anti-missile satellites. This is my take from the video.

I also will purely speculate that the traitors from previous state dept and executive branch administrations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsFR8... . Through pay to play with open source servers transferred high tech- possibly chips for guidance or maybe stealth tech and propulsion info.

Thanks for the sobering news Robert!
I can't help but wonder how much the
reset button and the "Russian silicone valley"
had to do with this Technological advancement.
