Maybe we do.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov:
The conflict in Ukraine cannot be resolved within 100 days without realism from the U.S.
"I would first like to understand on what basis the American side intends to move toward a resolution. If it is based on the signals we have been hearing in recent days, then it won't work—neither in 100 days nor beyond."

Who knows, maybe we do already have it.
A simple Google search on "US Hypersonic Missile" shows multiple hypersonic systems under development.
If Russia did, in fact, steal it under Obama's administration, then it sounds like Russia stole an early version, and what the US is about to field is 10 better than Russia's. That would be true to course as most of Russia's military tech sucks compared to the US's.

General Kellogg was just on Fox. He said that Trump is planning on 45 dollar a barrel oil.
The US produces more oil than any nation on earth. This price point would largely make existing US wells break even and make new wells unprofitable.
Oil at that price point would be bad for the US economy.
What am I missing that makes oil at this price good for the US in anyway?

In general, a lower inflation rate.
I agree, $45 oil won't be encouraging to drill baby drill.

I’m not in favor of making private businesses work for nothing. That’s not capitalism.
I am no oil expert. If it cost X to bring a barrrl of oil to market an oil company needs to sell it at X plus.
As for what cheap oil does for the US, it makes goods and services cheaper. Gasoline cheaper. It helps to lower inflation. All of this benefits consumers.

We had some under development and they failed. If you truly are America First then let's give this money to Elon to start a defense company responsible for missile projects. This is a good breakdown that shows our failures

We were developing it but it failed. Per Bloomberg.
"The end of American military supremacy. While China and Russia have hypersonic missiles, the US program has failed.
Switching now from Lockheed Martin to Raytheon means a setback of at least a decade for hypersonic weapons.
This is the result of three factors:
??Lack of manufacturing capabilities
??Lack of scientists and engineers with Ph.d in areas such as materials science. Instead, too many Americans are majoring in fluff like gender studies.
??Crony capitalism: Weapons manufacturers bribe/lobby politicians, who write big checks in turn. There’s no accountability."

Perhaps the US has realized that the technology we currently have (or is under development) will alleviate the need for Hypersonic missiles. Who knows...I don't.
I am not losing any sleep at night over the status of the US Hypersonic missile program.

Maybe they have some kind of missile that will look like reversed footage at impact to fool the targets into thinking they actually launched something instead of got hit

Russia’s Oreshnik missile is more bluff than breakthrough - The Economist
January 24, 2025, 07:48 AM
Charred fragments of the Russian Oreshek missile, which Russia launched at Ukraine in November 2024, indicate that it is merely a modernized version of the Soviet RS-26 Rubezh medium-range ballistic missile, the Economist wrote on Jan. 23.
Putin has labeled the so-called "hypersonic" Oreshnik as a breakthrough in Russian technology. However, the missile’s wreckage tells a different story.
One of its components dates back to 2017, while another part, found inside one of the missile’s warheads, was manufactured in 2016.
"This confirms suspicions that Oreshek is nothing more than a modified version of the older RS-26 Rubezh medium-range ballistic missile," the article emphasizes.
The report argues that Oreshnik is less of a serious military threat and more of a demonstration of power. It is designed for a Western audience, serving as a reminder of Russia’s nuclear capabilities.

Actually all that confirms is that the exchange is 1 to 10. Which if Ukraine is retreating makes sense they wouldn't be able to bring/collect their dead.
And if Ukraine was 1 to 10 KIA Russia would be cakewalking into Kyiv. That ratio doesn't hold water as much as you like to say the 1M and 700k casualty numbers don't work you think you'd think more critically about this.

That's what the exchange rate shows. If the actual ratio was 6:1 in favor of Russia that would be plausible considering the Manpower issues Ukraine is having right now documented by Ukrainian sources. Ukraine has been using fortified cities as Defense. The last one is about to fall in Pokrovsk. After that, those manpower issues will become more of a factor
