As Putin touts hypersonic weapons, America prepares its own arsenal. Will it be in time?

Since Putin "announced" his death missile, I'd guess he's working on his election. I doubt this or much else is any surprise to our folks. DARPA and others have been far ahead for years. Remember all the black space ships seen out West years before the F-117 was made public? Just one example.

It's too bad that our own secret agencies can't come right out and throw cold water on all this karpola issuing forth from the Ruskies without giving away to them just how much we know. In the meantime, the releases were aimed at upsetting the average American in both the private and military sectors, which it seems to have done. The Ruskies get more free publicity from US, news media, social networks, professional military networks, and the like than if they had paid millions to an agent for placement.

We had better start being more attentive to China’s posturing instead of bending over backwards 15 different ways to re-ignite a decades over Cold War while islamic jihadists literally seek to cut our throats. Perspective people.
