Thoughts? The US is does seem tonhave some hypersonic counte rmeasures and some of their own, but they're fortifying asia instead of sending things to jizzrael or Ukriane. I don't believe the wuantities of new tech are high and this is coming off the usual convo of guys praising US wonder development and downplaying eastern weapon advancement. Somehow the Houthis aren't responsible for US fleet withdrawls and peace made with them.

@FinalDresdonation We don't. Reverse engineering, sure, but the US cannot manufacture at scale anymore. If we had anything of that capacity in quantity, we'd have used it for the jews like we did with THAAD. Maybe we have a couple single-use wonder weapons, but we have nothing suitable for attrition warfare.
I just think from my talks that US is still capable of building some decent shit and must be reverse engineering stuff too, but I don't think the gap is so wide; nor our production w/out a war economy is so great. The geopolitics would not at all be playing out as they are if that were truly the case. People see a bunch of tech shit and it is their avenue of autism, but reality does not reflect those things on terms of actors that do know FAR more than any of us.
