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.”

Nah, we’ve been assured that China will call up Gen. Milley and warn him first. They had a reciprocal deal going...

Yes,it's easy to believe that they have the *capability* to do so now.But IMO it's unlikely that they have the will...because unless they're seeking complete destruction of civilization they'll be afraid of the response.

Take yer pick (more than one right answer is possible):
A. The general is sounding a legitimate alarm.
B. The general is exaggerating in order to increase the DOD budget.
C. This is just an attempt by the Biden administration to distract us.

At this point, I think some type of EMP attack may be a blessing because it would disarm our tech overlords and return power to local entities. But it would be a difficult time for everyone but we have to pay the price for this craziness that’s been allowed I’d rather pay the price sooner and not make my son handle it all.

Detect a missile headed for the USA from China.....and the 3 Gorges dam gets vaporized.

Yep, and now I have double paned windows to protect me that I didn't have in the 60's. So I'm good.
