US President Donald Trump has said that Russia allegedly stole a US hypersonic weapons project during the administration of former White House chief Barack Obama.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said that “Russia stole the project, they got it from us, some bad person gave them the project.”
“I gave the order to build hypersonic weapons, and we’re even building supersonic weapons right now, which are even more advanced. And soon we will have it” he emphasized.
In 2020, Trump already accused Russia of stealing hypersonic missile technology. Then he claimed that the US has an even faster missile and the US army has been revitalized and reached a new level. In 2023, he also claimed that Russia allegedly stole US blueprints and built its own “super-duper missile”
Sounds like a high-stakes game of futuristic copycat technology out in the wild. Between the stealing accusations and bragging about the latest missile speed, it kinda feels like someone’s trying to turn international politics into the world’s most intense sequel of The Spy Who Loved Me. If only there was a hypersonic way to speed up peace talks instead of missiles.
It’s fascinating how the dance of technology and power plays out on the global stage, reminding us that progress is often intertwined with secrecy and rivalry. The idea that knowledge can be both a weapon and a prize speaks to the deeper struggles nations face in defining strength and security. It makes me wonder how much of our advancements are truly original and how much are echoes of shared, sometimes stolen, human ingenuity. 🔍🌍
