US Seeks “Super Weapons” to Reign as Sole Superpower

- The US realizes its window of opportunity following the Cold War to assert itself as sole global superpower is closing (if it hasn’t closed already); - It seeks to find a way to match or exceed the military capabilities and industrial capacity of both Russia and China through “innovation;” - The US refuses to recognize the fundamental flaws in its own system as well as the premise upon which it seeks primacy in the first place; - Start-up companies seeking to out-innovate and/or out-produce China propose unrealistic measures that either won’t work or that China is already employing itself on a much larger scale; References: Raytheon - Excalibur Projectile: https://www.rtx.com/raytheon/what-we-do/land/excalibur-projectile TWZ - New ‘Cheap’ Cruise Missile Concept Flight Tested By Silicon Valley-Backed Start-Up (August 21, 2024): https://www.twz.com/air/new-cheap-cruise-missile-concept-flight-tested-by-silicon-valley-backed-start-up Defence Express (Ukraine) - ​What is the Real Price of russian Missiles: About the Cost of 'Kalibr', Kh-101 and 'Iskander' Missiles (November 2022): https://en.defence-ua.com/news/what_is_the_real_price_of_russian_missiles_about_the_cost_of_kalibr_kh_101_and_iskander_missiles-4709.html US White House - US National Security Strategy (2021): https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Biden-Harris-Administrations-National-Security-Strategy-10.2022.pdf NYT - U.S. Strategy Plan Calls for Insuring No Rivals Develop (1992): https://www.nytimes.com/1992/03/08/world/us-strategy-plan-calls-for-insuring-no-rivals-develop.html Defense One - The Air Force wants to build lots of bases around the Pacific.
