I think you should do some research on what Chinese and the Russians are already developing the form of hypersonic weapons. A defensive-only posture is a strategy for failure.

Is DoDโ€™s Approach To Buying Hypersonic Weapons Too Expensive? A former Lockheed Martin Skunk Works executive says the Pentagonโ€™s desire for long-range hypersonic missiles simply costs too much.

Just stating the obvious: US DoD is clear in this. www.forbes.com/sites/ericte...

Actually, they do. They need hypersonic weapons that are cheap to produce and easily to scale up. Right now we donโ€™t have that.

I highly recommend this movie. Very traditional karate. All three actors are black belts in Gojo Ryu. www.imdb.com/title/tt1084...

Truth: โ€œItโ€™s not making your job more secure. Itโ€™s not making the world safer or more stable. Itโ€™s doing quite the opposite. And so, devoid, of any real substance โ€“ other than the knowledge that the people you hate are being hurt โ€“ conservatism is being packaged as an aspirational lifestyle.โ€

This was precisely the first thought that popped into my head - Would it be justified to kill a human, on a body of water, within the US borders without probable cause? I think Tom Cottonโ€™s answer provides us with the perspective by what he does not say; The answer is no.

I remember listening to an interview with Ingrid Bergman on Humphrey Bogartโ€™s participation in this movie. She said that Bogey was distant and aloof because he thought the movie was going to be a failure and pretty much just doing it for the work. Amazing.

We saw him last week in Buffalo. It was absolutely amazing. Three hours of McCartney and Beatles bliss. And the encore was exceptional.

Lost count of how many times in high school we saw it at the midnight movies in the late โ€˜70s/early 80s. Love the soundtrack.
