US Seeks “Super Weapons” to Reign as Sole Superpower

Source: The New Atlas Sep 11, 2024

- 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;
