Falcon91Wolvrn03 said: I'm starting to read a LOT of articles that say we've been outdone. I don't know.
And still more today about Russia's new weapon from a famous US intelligence officer:
Are You Listening, America? Scott Ritter
And yet another article just came out from a former CIA officer:
Why Russia’s New Strategic Capabilities Come As a Shock to US Intelligence Community
Quote:
On March 1st, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke before his country’s Federal Assembly plus a large group of both local and foreign journalists, outlining his plans for the economy and also dealing with other domestic issues should he be reelected later this month. The final third of the presentation was on national defense and, in its substance, was clearly directed at a global audience, particularly the United States.
He explained
“During all these years since the unilateral U.S. withdrawal from the ABM Treaty [in 2001] we have been working intensively on advanced equipment and arms, which allowed us to make a breakthrough in developing new models of strategic weapons.”
He was referring to the RS-28 Sarmat ballistic missile, which has almost unlimited range and ultra-high speed, enabling it to employ trajectories including strikes coming over the South Pole that can defeat existing American Anti-Ballistic Defense systems. Russia has also produced and deployed a hypersonic glider weapon system Avangard.
But the real game changer is the Russian ability to negate America’s ability to project power through its navy. The already deployed air-launched Kinzhal anti-ship missile has a range of 2000 kilometers and a hyper-sonic speed that makes it nearly impossible to intercept. The development has made America’s thirteen aircraft carrier groups obsolete.
Is anyone else hearing this news? Are these ex-US Intelligence officials pulling our leg?

More of the same if anyone's interested:
The Implications of Russia's New Weapon Systems
Quote:
Putin’s message to the United States was extremely simple: he reminded the US about its condescending refusal to even consider Russia’s position on the ABM Treaty.
The strategic ramifications of the latest weapon systems Putin presented are immense. In fact, they are historic in nature.
The overall impression today, a day after Putin’s presentation, can be described in simple terms as such: the missile gap is real and, in fact, it is not a gap but a technological abyss.
...today it is patently clear that Russia holds an overwhelming military-technological advantage in cruise and aero-ballistic missiles and leads the US by decades in this crucial field.
many true professionals were gasping for the air when the Dagger (Kinzhal) was unveiled. This is a complete game changer geopolitically, strategically, operationally, tactically and psychologically. The Kinzhal is simply shocking in its capabilities. It made large surface fleets and combatants obsolete. No, you are not misreading it. No air-defense or anti-missile system in the world today (maybe with the exception of the upcoming S-500 specifically designed for the interception of hyper-sonic targets) is capable of doing anything about it, and, most likely, it will take decades to find the antidote. More specifically, no modern or perspective air-defense system deployed today by any NATO fleet can intercept even a single missile with such characteristics. A salvo of 5-6 such missiles guarantees the destruction of any Carrier Battle Group or any other surface group, for that matter–all this without use of nuclear munitions.

No, I don't want to spend time with the family; I want to raise your bet:
I bet you that Trump remains president after 1 Sep 18:
Loser bans himself from the entire Shroomery for one month.
Loser's signature has to say "I am stupid for (not) believing that Trump would be out of office by 01 Sep 18."
Loser's signature must visibly include this for 3 months after the self imposed ban.
Trump leaving office due to death or illness would annul the bet. If Trump commits suicide (per Koods' input), you win. Are you going to finally accept the bet, or run away yet again?

I think you missed what he's saying. He's saying that you will next claim that if Trump resigns, giving that as a reason, you will say the bet doesn't count. He's contemplating the situation where the heat gets too much for Trump, so he comes up with an excuse to resign.

dont forget resignation by suicide.
Who is this bet with? Whoever it is. This is a foolish bet. Even if they indicted half the adminstration tomorrow and recommended impeachment, the legal shenanigans would drag out for months. The earliest anything like him being impeached or resigning would be a year from now.
I think this investigation is a lot more complicated and far reaching than originally thought and who know how long this could drag out.

That's an understatement. They haven't even found anything yet. We just keep hearing (from you mostly) about all the new places they're going to investigate.
