Hypersonic Missiles Are a Game Changer
No existing defenses can stop such weapons — which is why everyone wants them.

Moreover, hypersonics are a weaponized moral hazard for states with a taste for intervention, because they erase barriers to picking fights. Is an adversary building something that might be a weapons factory? Is there an individual in an unfriendly country who cannot be apprehended? What if the former commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Soleimani, visits Baghdad for a meeting and you know the address? The temptations to use hypersonic missiles will be many.

showerthought: NYT's paywall just killed Soleimani. Good luck paying that in Iran.

But for real, this is way too conspicuous and needs to be investigated at a minimum. When the Daily Telegraph published crosswords that included Utah, Omaha, Overlord, Mulberry and Neptune prior to D-Day, MI5 stuck their heads in there and made absolutely sure it was just a weird and unlikely coincidence and not a spy dropping warnings for the Nazis. Turns out it really was just coincidence, though perhaps involving random leaks of war-related phrases that were included without intention.
This is the kind of serious national security threat where at a minimum Steven Simon should be getting a visit from Men in Black who snoop around his stuff.

yeah I thought i was in limbo or under the weather or something but no it’s all there clear as day

i doubt it will get much traction but it’s way, way too eerie to be just brushed off as coincidence. maybe /pol/ or whatever can go play internet detective on it, it’s been archived and all that. oddly enough the google link isn’t paywalled

then again what can we expect when a tabloid which is controlled by foreign interests relies on leaks from unelected self-serving anti-American bureaucrats to get clicks

Wedge tail vs fox.

Australian eagles are the real deal.
