Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter: Russian "Object 4202” a new kind of weapon, a hypersonic warhead capable of speeds 15 times the speed of sound, and capable of evading any anti-missile system the United States has today, or may develop and deploy for decades to come.

There is no winning.

The majority of the worlds nuclear deterrence is on submarines. Even if they took out our land based silos we would launch a counter attack with our subs. They know this. Any nuclear war between the USA and Russia would end human life as we know it. As Einstein said the 4th world war will be fought with stick and stones.

What good is a delivery system that flies at Mach 15 and can destroy an area the size of Texas when it blows up seconds after launch?

There must be a paradigm shift in our relations with Russia.

We are not natural enemies.

It will help when Putin is gone. He's stuck in his cold war KGB paradigm.

So...when he dies? If he even bothers to abide by their constitution, he will just run for PM again.

Scott Ritter? Scott Ritter? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! He is out on parole?

"The United States is going to leave Iraq with its tail between its legs, defeated. It is a war we can not win ... We do not have the military means to take over Baghdad and for this reason I believe the defeat of the United States in this war is inevitable ... Every time we confront Iraqi troops we may win some tactical battles, as we did for ten years in Vietnam, but we will not be able to win this war, which in my opinion is already lost,"

Great analyst that one.

RE: ARMS RACE IS OVER AND RUSSIA HAS WON
If Russia has won the arms race, why would they want to negotiate a disarmament? Since when has Russia given up anything when they held the upper hand? Does that sound like something Putin would do?

They can't match our subs and they can't match our stealth bombers.

They have always had bigger explosives because they couldn't match our precision.

Russia claims it can wipe out US Navy with single 'electronic bomb'

a single Russian war plane flew several times around American destroyer the USS Donald Cook in the Black Sea several years ago, disabling its systems and leaving it helpless.

Reminds me of Battlestar Gallactica. We need to make sure we have independent systems.
