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.

So now we're revealing dangerous military secrets publicly and everyone's cool with it?

He's either lying through his teeth, or is too treasonously stupid to serve.

Is Milley looking for more money again? Our army is a waste. Or should I say, our top generals are a waste. Milley is only making these points because he wants to curtail our rights or he wants to spend more of our money. I hope we never have to rely on him to win a war.

Clearly the U.S. Military needs more diversity training to counter advanced Chinese weapons.

Sounds like it’s time for failed Milley to go. Who needs a failure to run things?

So what. Mutually assured destruction is a pretty good defense.

“No ‘defensive systems are capable of dealing with’ China’s hypersonic missile, Milley says”

Who do we believe: US intelligence or the ChiComms?

Wait! What’s the difference?

“isn’t this one of those national security things that shouldn’t be revealed?”

Ah, but he held back from revealing our bestest weapon of all, The Fully Woke Rainbow Bomb.

They do. And they did.

Is there ironclad proof of such a weapon or is this a Military-Industrial Complex wet dream to get a whole lotta more funding?

If you don’t have credibility you don’t have deterrence when nukes are involved. With Carter and Clinton the world knew our military would knock the hell out of them if they dared use a WMD on US. Now there’s nothing, spaghetti brain and the Ho in the White House and a bunch of wussy woke fairies on the joint chiefs of staff. We live in perilous times!

Milley was momentarily distracted from his volumes of reading material about “white rage”, critical race theory, and diversity training.
