I know we’ve played this game before but just imagine how Hannity and Tucker and Judge Jeanine and Laura Ingraham would have reacted if Obama had called a new military capability the “super duper missile.”

The United States:  The United States has invested in research and development of a hypersonic missile called the Advanced Hypersonic Weapon (AHW), which uses boost glide technology to propel warheads with conventional—rather than nuclear—payloads.  During a test in 2011, AHW was launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii, to the Reagan Test Site on the Marshall Islands. The glide vehicle successfully struck a target that was located 3,700 km away, demonstrating the long-range and high precision of the AHW.[x]

Lockheed Martin is developing a hypersonic vehicle called the Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 (HTV-2), which is a maneuverable rocket-launched aircraft that glides through the Earth’s atmosphere at speeds up to Mach 20 (13,000 mph).[xi] Equipped with numerous sensors to collect data while the vehicle is in hypersonic flight, the HTV-2 is representative of a U.S. initiative to research and develop technologies that make long-duration hypersonic flight a reality. The United States plans to use the HTV-2 and AHW for “Prompt Global Strike,” which would allow the U.S. to launch a conventional hypersonic strike against targets anywhere on the planet in less than one hour.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Michael Flynn’s Russia contacts, Turkish ops & Saudi nukes scheme were deeply troubling and lying about them made him a ripe blackmail target. How hard is it to understand he was a clear & present danger in the WH? @paulwaldman1 explains. https://t.co/0hfUT3YZsJ

Just in: The Senate Intel Committee has submitted the fifth and final volume of its Russia report to ODNI for classification review, along with “what we assess to be a properly redacted, unclassified version of the report, totaling nearly 1,000 pages.” pic.twitter.com/dEPR8FMylY
