The growing geopolitical and military competition between America and China seems to have turbocharged Beijing’s nuclear ambitions

The novelty of such gliders is not that they are unusually fast—in some cases, they are slower than an intercontinental ballistic missile as it re-enters the atmosphere—but that they are manoeuvrable. A Russian or Chinesefired at America travels over the North Pole and high into space, visible to radar systems in the Arctic, and then plunges back down in a predictable way .

China’s tests, however, involved a twist. The gliders did not simply go up and coast down, but also circled the Earth in space. This is similar to the approach employed by the Soviet Union’s Fractional Orbital Bombardment System—fractional because it did not involve a full revolution around the Earth—which was deployed between 1969 and 1983.

Only great China decides who has the right to life and who does not have this right.

If you were confronting US you would be well advised to have nukes aplenty.

If AMERICA was a person getting therapy at this point therapist would tell it that perhaps it’s not them but YOU. Always pointing to that boogeyman if not Russian then Iran. If not Iran then China. If not China then Cuba. GROW UP. Take a look at yourself in the mirror for once.

Ever considered fact perhaps nations have a right of sovereignty & as much right to a military as you do? Perhaps consider that they arm themselves to defend themselves from YOU — most hostile belligerent nation on planet. With total disregard to others & only its self interest

So rude China !

Only ONE NATION dropped TWO NUCLEAR BOMBS ON CITIES killing civilians and causing cancers for generations that’s the STATES OF AMERICA to save its President’s next term. And committed atrocities across Asia from Vietnam to Afghanistan & now it dares lecture other nations? SHUT UP

FALSE & FACT CHECKED. China demonstrated its technological prowess through a FUSION operated space vehicle leaving America the spoilt toddler literally in its wake & dust. On display its patience & maturity in expanding human travels to cosmos. Report fact
