Dave Majumdar, National Interest: Nuclear War: Could China's Mach 10 Hypersonic Weapons Unleash the Unthinkable?

The People’s Republic of China is continuing its quest to develop a new class of hypersonic weapons that could strike at the continental United States in less than 15 minutes from launch.

An operational long-range hypersonic weapon is likely years away, but China, the United States, Russia and other states are in a race to field such weapons. In the meantime, China is working on building the world’s fastest hypersonic wind tunnel to help its scientist develop this new class of weapon. The new facility should become operational by 2020.

"«Il agissait sans se soucier des témoins»
Louise, militante francilienne du MJS, n’avait, elle, jamais croisé le président du mouvement jusqu’à cette rencontre de jeunes socialistes à Bruxelles, mi-décembre 2012. 300 militants de toute l’Europe ont rallié pour l’occasion la capitale de la Belgique. Le samedi 15 décembre, une tournée des bars s’organise. La troupe fait halte au Floris Bar, spécialisé dans les absinthes et situé impasse de la Fidélité. Quittant la piste de danse, Marchal-Beck arrive à la table de Louise par derrière, plaque ses mains sur ses seins et les malaxe devant ses amis qui assistent, bouche bée, à la scène, de face. «Je me retourne et je réalise qui est en train de me faire ça, raconte l’ancienne militante francilienne. On ne se connaît pas, il arrive et il me pelote vigoureusement.» Devant la réaction de la tablée, le président du MJS lâche son emprise et tourne les talons. «Avec le recul, je me suis dit que ce qu’il avait fait était totalement dingue, il agissait sans se soucier des témoins», souffle Louise." - Liberation

Well, something was liberated by a socialist>

Translation

"He acted without worrying about witnesses" Of course, he is a liberal.


"Louise, a militant of the Parisian MJS, had never met the president of the movement until this meeting of young socialists in Brussels in mid-December. 300 activists from all over Europe joined the capital for the occasion. from Belgium. On Saturday, December 15th, a bar tour is organized. The troupe stops at the Floris Bar, specialized in absinthes and located dead end of the Fidelity. Leaving the dance floor, Marchal-Beck arrives at Louise's table from behind, lays her hands on her breasts and kneads them in front of her friends, who watch, open-mouthed, on the stage, from the front. "I turn and I realize who is doing this to me, says the former activist Ile. We do not know each other, he arrives and he pelts me vigorously. "In front of the reaction of the table, the president of the MJS releases his grip and turns his heels. "In hindsight, I thought that what he did was totally crazy, he acted without worrying about the witnesses," Louise breathes." - Liberation
