While China unveiled a new ‘doomsday’ nuclear bomb that can “strike the US within 30 minutes with ten warheads,” a top US General declared gender and race “diversity” to be a “warfighting necessity” against the homogeneous forces of China and Russia.
We’re truly screwed.
Billed as the “ultimate doomsday weapon,” the fearsome super nuke was displayed during China’s 70th anniversary parade in Tiananmen Square.
“The Dongfeng-41 is a 7,672 mph intercontinental ballistic missile that is said to have the furthest range of any nuclear missile and could reach the US in 30 minutes,” reports the Sun.

Truthfully, I doubt these missiles will perform up to snuff, for the reason of “overkill”. A misunderstood term, it means “missile failure”, for a multitude of reasons.
The US has long had the very best ICBM missiles in the world, yet these very high quality missiles could never overcome overkill. I think they maxed out at 70%, an almost unrealistic number for success. In an actual fight, their overkill might drop to 30-40%, which is why, in past, both the US and USSR had such enormous arsenals of nukes.
Well, this Chinese missile might look impressive on the ground, and travel at very high speeds, but that just makes overkill worse. It’s called the law of diminishing returns, and with missiles, it’s pretty brutal.
That’s a personal relief for me if she’s Army. My basic premise stands.
So Khrushchev was right after all.
Just as long as there is no fighting in the war room we should be ok.
Its not an advantage.
It’s pc bullshiite.
Good Lord .. those missiles might do one tenth as much damage as “diversity”!
When I looked at the various failures (and successes too) of US missile defense systems tests, I was struck by how many of the failures were NOT actually directly due to pushing the edge of the technology. Instead, many of the failures were “stupid stuff” / lack of attention to ordinary mechanical details, and such. (Paraphrasal) “Retaining arm did not retract”, and so on.
Having dealt with Chinese vendors in the past on many occasions regarding MUCH simpler items*, my experience is that it is VERY difficult to get the Chinese to consistently pay attention to detail, or not sneak in some substandard aspect to the quality. It’s not impossible to get “good stuff”: we had one magnet supplier who was literally better quality than any of the US sources, but, they were very much the exception. Even the European companies operating in China could be maddening to deal with when it came to QC.
*Basically, those were components to go into assemblies (definitely no “rocket science” type goods) made in the USA. We were sometimes forced to go to China because US vendors had conceded the field.)
Anyway, I don’t disagree with your point, but, it does seem as if when one pushes the edge, more failures show up throughout the endeavor.
America will lose the next major war because of these “diversity” lesbians like Lori and her ilk.
And for other reasons as well; like lukewarm apostate Christianity, which allowed for the rise of abortion and other immoralities, which spread worldwide.
Ever increasing debt, failing education, over extended force projection, a failing political class, and other issues also contributed to our somewhat decline.
So I'm hesitant to give Khrushchev all the glory for something we've done to ourselves, in a large part - that is if MAGA fails.
We're not done yet though. And we've hardly begun to really fight back. Where we have, we're seeing success; in fighting abortion, illegal immigration, and at least for awhile, with the economy.
Of all the problems we have facing us, I believe stopping abortion is the most important thing we can do to gain back approval of the Almighty, the one protector, we as a nation and individually, can't thrive without.
Sorry, I just checked and she is ID’d as USMC
WHEN did the Corps give up the Blood Stripe?
I notice the two USMC types in the background or maybe(?) no Blood Stripe on Whites?
That blouse doesn’t look like any USMC uniform I had ever seen.
Stated airspeed (the unclassified airspeed that is) of current ICBMS is roughly 17,647 mph, with a max range of 8,000 miles with an accuracy of 800 feet radius of target point! 800 feet in 8K miles. Course the warhead doesn’t have to be precise like an artillery shell
Their 7K mph is actually slow. 30 mins to the US? What part?
As example: 5740 mile from central Montana to Beijing at 17647 mph is arrival time at 19 minutes— assuming stationary land based launch. Much faster from other delivery means... subs, aircraft etc, who could be closer in
Yep, see my post on ETA for just one of US land based from Montana to beijing. Not even comparable. Doomsday— they make it sound like Dr. Strangelove.
Woo- woo factor of the pillow biters. they fire one of these and they will be largely.... glass. Not like the movies.
““The Dongfeng-41 is a 7,672 mph intercontinental ballistic missile that is said to have the furthest range of any nuclear missile and could reach the US in 30 minutes,”
It’s a regular, normal ICBM.
They’re all that fast.
And China has about 30 of them. And somewhere between 300 and 400 warheads.
Meanwhile, we have a Trident boat within 500 miles of Beijing that can put 200 warheads up their ass in less than 15 minutes...and each of them will detonate, assuredly, within 100 ft of their assigned target. Flight time 5-7 mins.
And there’s likely a second Trident boat in the North Pacific ready to follow up.
Did I mention there are 550 Minuteman IIIs ready to go in minutes?
Hell, the US has more tactical nukes than China has in their entire arsenal. Yes, those B-52s on Guam and in Hawaii have full loads, ready to go.
They sweep in last, just to see if anything is left.
“we had 200 Chinese missiles which could reach the west coast of the US.”
The Chinese have about 50 ICBMs. Total.
She’s a real leader/s
AH!!!!!!!!!!!
America by definition is diverse, Dummycrats.
He also had all the circuit board targeting cards pulled from the missiles
