re: Beijing mocks America, their 21,000mph nuclear-capable missile a 'new blow to the U.S.'

Nukes are not very useful weapons these days. Its much more effective to shut down the enemies power grid via hacking or just release a virus that has a 99.96% survival rate. Nuke propaganda is used so the government can flood more spending into various black box budgets to never be seen again.

IF you can blow a Nuke high above NY, Chicago, and LA... you can send the U.S. into complete turmoil with maassive power shortages, food shortages, medical shortages, etc... for a year or more. Complete chaos and widespread violence to follow due to shortages. This is a country where people fought over toilet paper and fight to get into Walmart first on black Friday.

Just blow them high up in the air without a single casualty on the ground. Nukes can be HIGHLY useful if you are willing to use them. Don't need many at all and don't really need a sophisticated delivery system at all. These shithole countries could get them to 35,000 ft in a charter jet. ... that is really the problem.
