This deserves a new thread,what the fuck?https://www.forbes.com/sites/nichol...new-secret-nuclear-weapons-system/amp/?espv=1
See the link in my OT, apparently US military officials were surprised Trump disclosed that kind of information.This is a detail in Bob Woodward's new book "RAGE." Trump is bragging to Woodward about some new nuclear delivery system and "we have stuff you haven't seen or heard," and all sorts of other bull shit. It is quintessential Trump rambling nonsense bragging about shit he has very little understanding of.
However, it is also known that Trump doesn't always appear to have a firm grasp of the topics in question, leading him to make false pronouncements about certain weapon systems and their capabilities. Perhaps the best-known example of this is the case of the "super-duper missile," which he referenced while speaking to reporters during an event at the White House in May 2020. He claimed this weapon was "17 times faster than what they have right now," referring to comparative Russian and Chinese developments. It ultimately turned out to be a hypersonic boost-glide vehicle that the U.S. Army and Navy are collaboratively developing that the Pentagon had previously publicly stated had an estimated peak speed of Mach 17.
When it comes to nuclear weapons, and many of their delivery systems, these are some of the most secretive systems within the U.S. military's arsenal, even if their existence is publicly known. Their exact capabilities generally remain undisclosed in order to prevent opponents from developing countermeasures that could limit the utility of America's nuclear deterrents. As such, it is possible that Trump was talking about a still-secret nuclear weapon, about which little is known, but which has been publicly acknowledged. A prime candidate may be the still-nebulous W93 warhead, which, if the program proceeds, could eventually go on top of the Navy's Trident D5 submarine-launched ballistic missiles. The U.S. military has been coy about just how new or not the design of this weapon might be.
The Navy also deployed the W76-2 warhead, a lower-yield variant of the W76 series, on some of its Tridents for the first time earlier this year. Work is also still ongoing on the nuclear-capable B-21 Raider stealth bomber, the B61-12 nuclear gravity bomb, and the new Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) for the U.S. Air Force, as well. In August, that service also indicated that it might be interested in a nuclear-armed hypersonic weapon as a potential warhead for the GBSD in the future, as well.
Trump Discloses Supposed Existence Of A Secret New Nuclear Weapon System To Bob Woodward
Other sources reportedly confirmed that the weapon system does exist, but declined to get into specifics.www.thedrive.com
Who cares if Trump is bragging about this? The real problem is that we've got 40 million Americans with food insecurity but yet we can spend billions on more fucking nukes. This is such a shitty country.
Imagine Obama saying that shit?Nothing to see here, just the President of the United States telling a reporter about classified military projects on the record for no reason whatsoever.
I think it's a bigger deal here is that the US a developing a new secret nuclear capabilities rather than the fact that we got to know about it.Nothing to see here, just the President of the United States telling a reporter about classified military projects on the record for no reason whatsoever.
