It isn't a true hypersonic. It is a ballistic missile fired horizontally. The forming definition is the missile is hypersonic when it hits and can maneuver. The Russian ones cannot do either.

#2 A lot of the treasonous scam that handed over to the Russians how to do hypersonic weapons happened in the tail end of the Clinton administration. There’s been a 25 year conspiracy of silence about that. I don’t know if Obama had a venture in this area but he had others. ( Hence the 2014 in Fauci’s pardon).

#3 Kaddish for a Radish, or, Through the Cooking Class

"Putin's new hypersonics!"
"Don't shoot!"
"Like a coconut, only a root,"
Says Obama, who'd know,
"Was my spook, long ago,
That took all the old Communist loot!"

#5 Radish? What does that mean in this context?
Horse radish. The root is vaguely penis-shaped. A polite way of calling someone a dick.

As for "hypersonic", can we nominate that for Annoying Buzzword Du Jour? Along with "kamikazi". Enough!
