“The OpFires missile did not reach hypersonic speeds during the test, the official told CNN, but that was not the goal of the exercise. Instead, the first test flight of the OpFires system was primarily designed to test the rocket launch from the vehicle. Further tests of the system are scheduled for later this year, the official said.”
Basically intelligence community speak for it was a failure but we want to portray it like it was a success in the headlines. The missiles are not hypersonic, ergo the test was a failure and they are not comparable to Russian or Chinese hypersonic missiles.
I don’t think its a “stupid” move. Its definitely stupid in our context and with our knowledge, but Empires are rarely stupid or irrational.
I see this as a desperate attempt to provoke China into seeming the aggressor in this situation, which will inspire the entire globe AKA rich white countries into using this as justification to justify war on the Global South,
I don’t think so since China would be on defense. They are strong economically and their army would do well against US invasion. Idk about you but any guy stupid enough to go and fight China is on their own.
US is much dumber than it thinks it is. It is on top because of it’s violent might, but it likes to attribute it’s success more to it’s virtue.
China is smarter than the USA.
The vile truth is that the USA does not really need to be smarter than china, its still very much stronger than china.

Tbh with such propaganda capacity the US could just attack under any pretext and westoids would just roll with it
