Top general warns China could soon spring surprise nuclear strike on US

The second-ranking general in the US military has sounded the alarm about China’s weapons development — warning that Beijing may soon have the capability to launch a surprise nuclear strike against America.

“They look like a first-use weapon,” Gen. John Hyten, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told CBS News Tuesday. “That’s what those weapons look like to me.”

Hyten was discussing China’s test of a hypersonic weapon from this summer, which was first reported by the Financial Times last month.

“They launched a long-range missile,” Hyten said. “It went around the world, dropped off a hypersonic glide vehicle that glided all the way back to China, that impacted a target in China.”

Luckily my teachers taught me how to hide under my desk when they drop the bomb.

I remember doing that in the 3rd grade and thinking, even as a little kid, “how is this going to work?”

It’s like that scene from Fight Club where the plane is crashing and Tyler Durden explains to Tyler Durden that the oxygen masks that drop down are not going to save you, they are just going to give you something else to think about as you prepare for impact.

Does anyone think the X37 could not similarly function as a orbital bomber?

Sure, it COULD. But who in our National Command structure would press the button?

warning that Beijing may soon have the capability

Is a little different than actually doing it. Shame on you NY post for the misleading headline.

Whatever, there’s no way those backwards Chinese could reach DC. And we need to keep it a really close secret how nuking DC would crush the spirit of the American heartland.
Remember, don’t tell ANYONE.

Agreed, their glide vehicle probably was a gift from us..
But nuking us would pretty much set the stage without much protest..

“...3 Gorges dam gets vaporized.”

I’ve often heard that stated. Is it a big deal if it happens?

Most estimates are on the order of 400 million dead from flooding.

Disturbing thought that Biden or an appointee might have access to the nuclear football.

M.A.D.

Seems a big risk for little gain, with a white house occupant who is not in control of anything.
