Yes remember. As a Belgian ex-pat living in the US I can tell you ppl here have been shielded from war at home and as a result have no rational concept of it. It’s partly the reason of a certain aggressiveness all the while unable to govern conquests. Iraq comes to mind (Paul Bremer fiasco).

Warheads from an ICBM re-enter at hypersonic speed at the latter part of the trajectory, not the boost/coast phases. Hypersonic missile implies the entire flight. Either way it’s a bad day.

Well the Times of India just reported this: "The attack included a Kinzhal hypersonic missile and seven Kh-101 cruise missiles, with Ukrainian forces intercepting six of the latter, ...". Honestly I'm not all that well versed in this, but I know ballistics and they don't add up for it to be an ICBM.

Tbh, it doesn't make sense that this was an ICBM delivered warhead(s) if you consider the distance involved to target the Ukraine from Russia. Most likely a MRBM type/class weapon (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-...).
But what do I, a former NATO artillery officer, know? Maybe we should ask Tulsi?

a. I wished Biden would've kept his 1 term promise so Dems could have had an open primary and a be better prepared.
b. Dems would've targeted their audience in a more effective way, not so scripted.
c. Developed a more aggressive stance in foreign policies.
d. Ditto against MAGA... way more.
