This is not the first, second, third, or even fourth failure of their
hypersonic missile program. It’s been a LOLcow right from the very start,
and this is a mercy kill. Frankly, these missiles barely even qualify as
“hypersonic,” if their max speeds are Mach 5. The Russian and Chinese
hypersonic missiles are capable of almost Mach 10. So the US Military set
the bar low, and then failed anyway.

Big surprise why.

Hard to get the data you need when your missiles keep exploding.

The US Military is a shitshow that can’t recruit anyone, and for good
reason. Their recent recruitment ad got a Hollywood style ratio’ing that
was eye opening even for me. No one believes that the military serves their
interests, and the veneer of US military dominance is quickly dropping.
That isn’t helped by the now mostly unavoidable truth that Russia is,
failures in CAS and interdiction aside, slowly grinding out an inevitable
victory in Ukraine.

The above picture is from Weeb Union, one of the few objective overseers of
the Russia-Ukraine war. Contrary to the ever present claims by the WMD
Liars of the Russians being down to six and a half thousand men armed only
with shovels, they have picked up their slow, methodical, grinding down of
the Ukrainian Armed Forces right where they left off before the Kharkiv
retreat. It’s tragic that this appears to be continuing until ZOG runs out
of Ukrainian conscripts to throw into the meatgrinder, but it is what it
is, a countdown to the inevitable.

It is truly enraging to hear these propagandists refer to the deaths of our
men in the following cavalier manner.

Sorry that you got “expended” in the war, Goy. Take heart, shitlibs got to
pretend to be Harry Potter heroes by putting Ukrainian flags in their bios
right next to their pronouns.

Anyway, the era of America is ending, whatever Russia does or does not do.
And that’s a good thing.
