The United States would be incapable of defending itself against a hypersonic missile akin to the experimental one China launched over the summer, according to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Gen. Mark Milley acknowledged the gap in the U.S. defense capabilities during a talk at Duke University on Friday afternoon.
Over the summer, China tested “a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile” that “circled the globe before speeding towards its target, demonstrating advanced space capabilities that caught U.S. intelligence by surprise,” the Financial Times reported last month. However, Chinese government officials have denied it.

Quick! You lousy filthy worthless rayciss taxpayers! Be afraid and cough up more money and power! NOW! AND PUT ON YOUR MASK, SUBJECT! NOW!!!
For someone who went to Princeton this dunce if pretty damn dumb.
General Milley, even if your Chiense General friends let us know ahead of time they plan to attack?
Where's General Turgidson when you need him?
Anyway, the defense contactors are licking their lips over this.
Your average teenage girl posting on facebook has better judgment than Milley.
And this is the best we can do for JCS?
Chinese aren’t that bright, their civilization never advanced beyond the pictogram stage and as communists they are even more limited.
They steal technology from everyone. They probably stole this from us.
Russia has some equally nasty weapons.
Wokeness = Weakness
By all means tell the enemy the limits of your capabilities.
Why doncha give the chicoms a clearer signal there ya 4 star tranny?

Is Milley’s reference regarding a first strike nuclear attack or conventional war?
The technology changes the equation for both types of warfare, but I would argue that it is more of a conventional threat than nuclear in that a surprise nuclear attack is already quite possible for any nation-state possessing a robust satellite program or basic cruise missile technology.
The primary threat for conventional warfare would be against our aircraft carriers. Many of us have felt it was unwise to put so many eggs in one basket (so to speak) for a very long time.
They are the most awesome instruments of conventional war on the planet, but if they cannot survive against a comparatively cheap weapon system we better rethink the investment.
Can we just surrender now?
It missed its intended target by a mere 30 miles lol
Good grief! It sounds like the propaganda coming out the the Global Times- the Chinese communist propaganda outlet.
Millie is trying to get Brain-Blown Joe to surrender to the Chinese Communist Party.
Everybody surrender now! Assume the fetal position and have a good cry.
So just pass that info along to our enemies why donsha?
Oh yes, he just did.
This is cream of the crop?
No, he’s the defecation at the bottom of the barrel.
