Garsh, it is not like this is as new concept It has been around 40 years at least.
Around 1982 it was proposed to base the LGM-118 Peacekeeper on trains (Peacekeeper Rail Garrison).
"In the 1980s the Soviets finally developed the RT-23 Molodets intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)—shortened from earlier ICBMs to fit inside a standard train wagon. The resulting SS-24 missile (codenamed Scalpel by NATO) was 2.4-meters in diameter, used solid fuel for relatively rapid launch, and could strike targets 6,800 miles away thanks to its three-stage rocket boosters. There was also a silo-based variant. The 104-ton missiles were packed with ten 550-kiloton nuclear warheads which separated to hit different targets on reentry."
Maybe if Feinstein, Pelosi, Clinton, Loral Aerospace and others would cease and desist shoveling jobs offshore to China maybe China would not have so much money to resurrect such schemes and improve upon them.
We cannot allow a mineshaft gap.
There are at least 2 Russian agents here.
This is big news because the executives at Boeing and Lockheed need to upgrade their private jets.
We better plow more cash into the MIC just to be safe.
China keeps plowing more and more money into their MIC. Soon 10:19 will have nowhere to go except threats.
