The Russians didn’t need any US technology to have hypersonics, which, btw, they DEPLOYED OPERATIONAL in 2017, and we are just now developing a prototype with an announcement that is suspicious as to how successful the test was.

There is considerable talk about difficulties in resuming START treaty talks because the US wishes onsite inspection, so we can steal hypersonic tech from the Russians.

Never EVER forget that until 2020 we were entirely dependent on Russian launch vehicles to send astronauts to the ISS since the Space Shuttle was scrapped .

Vaunted US technology is just not deserved. Don’t believe our own propaganda.

My friend you are full of bull. Our technology is world class. Our launch capacity was there but our government made some bad choices in launch vehicles. Russian launch abilities are so 1960’s.

A blessing in disguise because it gave SpaceX a big leg up

We have one mighty war assets that the Russians do not have - angry, vicious trannies.

What could go wrong?
