Both sides have this gamed out. At the end of the day, still a game of chicken. Does Trump have the cahones to make Putin blink? Or does Trump himself blink. Hard to believe this is what it's going to come to, our fate resting in a "decider's" hands, be it Trump or Kamala or Biden or whoever.

Brilliant piece πŸ‘

Plus, US blockheads act as if they are totally clueless about the existence of the automatic defence system Russia has put in place operational since forever, meaning that even if all Russians are destroyed in a nuclear Holocaust, a highly unlikely scenario in itself, the destruction of "The West" is still very much automatically guaranteed... Dumb and dumber, and then some more... In a seemingly infinite cycle...

Thanks for the comment Youlian. From what I understand, the US is similarly wired to keep launching missiles after the world has been destroyed.

If only they had put that much thought and energy into healthcare, we would all live to be 200 years old!

This is not entirely accurate. Oreshnik IS a gamechanger precisely because it has pin-point accuracy. It is NOT a weapon of mass destruction UNLESS it is nuclear armed.

John,

I received push back on several technical issues that was phrased significantly less politely than yours.

I have a response that I will publish shortly.

Thank you for weighing in here.

the US still has no hypersonic capability at this point, lagging far behind Russia, China Iran et al.......Yet NC has a readership boasting scores of hypersonic missile engineers expertly commenting on the subject. Why aren't they working for the MIC? Could it be "Illegals" so much of their commentariat despises are doing this work and undercutting them?

From the conclusion of the piece "They will be in bunkers as the rest of us are sent to the great beyond" here's the rub (according to Scott Ritter), bunkers which have decided over the years thus USELESS! Also, please note, any hair on the backs of the Russian leadership will result with the entire US being destroyed by these NEW Russian hypersonic weapons with NO nuclear fallout problems. This' a good and bad thing. Bad that the US and its innocent population (which is the majority of us "regular" people) will cease to exist. Good, in a way, that the major force against world peace is the before mentioned USofA! POINT-SET-and- MATCH! More or less, good ridden to bad rubbish! BUT THE COST!
