Truth hurts?
What a rude awakening to reality!
It’s the kind of headline that would make the MAGA president stark raving MAD!
The headline “Iran "Hits" The U.S. Where It Hurts The Most, A Critical Military Tech Where Superpower U.S. Trails Tehran” and Gloria Emeagwali’s cheerful comments, ”Well this is quite true. I came to the same conclusion a while ago after coming across two great analyses. The US is now starting its hypersonic missile program. It is lagging behind China by far” is the kind of reading material that President Trump wouldn’t like to confront or acknowledge at his daily briefing, first thing on Monday morning, and not wanting to face reality, off the cuff would be inclined to brush off as “fake news” to himself and to the general public.
Does that headline and those comments contradict or nullify Trump boasting to US citizens and to the rest of the world that when it comes to fire-power, the US Military, is the greatest in the history of mankind ?
#Trump on the US Military as the greatest in the history of mankind
Ideally, Trump would like to be in the same state of mind as Shimon Peres once was when he scornfully picked up the spent remains of a katyusha rocket that Hezbollah had fired from the Beqaa valley in Lebanon, and asked rhetorically,” Is this a rocket ?” - signifying that Israel had real rockets…
Iran’s current level of new generation hypersonic ballistic missile technology gives credence to the reports that Netanyahu begged Trump to please proclaim a ceasefire
The sober reality : 2025 Military Strength Ranking
If it’s true that Trump's bunker busting bombs failed to “obliterate” Iran’s nuclear research facilities or their stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, then round 2 is unlikely to continue, especially with Netanyahu's unceremonious departure from the limelight, like ceremonial yom kippur goat having only accomplished genocide, crimes against humanity, further tarnished the image of his country, national trauma, pariah state status, one disaster after another.
What will be the outcome of the various fire-powers exchanging fire at the battle of Armageddon is still a matter of speculation…
