The RS-28 "Sarmat" is almost certainly the most powerful weapon humans have ever created, capable of wiping out a country the size of France or Texas. It can also use a monstrously powerful 50 Mt warhead designed to cause a strategic EMP (electromagnetic pulse), effectively "turning back the clock" and pushing the US or the EU back into the 18th century without destroying anything on the ground.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The American Military Industrial Complex is exhilarated with such a windfall (considering the system's costs). Such a project has many similarities with the (First) Cold War-era SDI (also known as "Star Wars"). Still, the idea of space-based weapons is a highly disturbing development that would lead to an inevitable militarization of space. The "Golden Dome" is expected to be able to "intercept targets in their boost phase" and "deploy relocatable defenses capable of rapid global deployment". This is a clear violation of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty (OST).]]></description>

On the other hand, the war on Iran is partially motivated by America's desire to derail the Chinese BRI (Belt and Road Initiative), the largest and most comprehensive infrastructure project in recorded history. Naturally, numerous countries are interested in participating in the BRI, as anyone sane would much rather have ports, highways, railways and entire cities built than have bombs dropped on their heads.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[According to Tyler Rogoway of The War Zone, the idea that the US military achieved total air dominance over Iran and "sanitized the threat of ground-based air defenses to a degree that their forces have relatively free rein" is false. Obviously, he used a euphemism and called it a "misconception", but the admission is there, even though American officials are still engaging in various forms of copium.]]></description>

Soon, it could be months, while heavy losses and damage to US occupation forces in the Middle East keep piling up.]]></description>

Iran is also likely to receive such technologies from Russia, aiding its resistance efforts against US aggression. The stakes are high, especially for Donald Trump, whose political "skin" is in the game, particularly in a midterm election year.]]></description>

The Pentagon has managed to eliminate a number of missile launchers, although many of these have been decoys left for the USAF to waste its costly air-to-ground munitions on. However, all things considered, the aerial campaign can already be deemed a strategic failure, which explains why President Trump is threatening a land invasion.]]></description>

If the latter figure is true, this would make the CJ-1000 the world's first intercontinental hypersonic cruise missile. It also reaches blistering speeds, with reports suggesting it's anywhere between Mach 6 (around 7,500 km/h or approximately 2 km/s) and Mach 10 (well over 12,000 km/h or nearly 3.5 km/s).]]></description>

While these are the most powerful EU economies and essentially "core" members, sidelining others in Eastern Europe is not exactly the wisest of decisions, as it would effectively cut off the rest of the bloc from these top continental powers. The Trump administration doesn't really need to do anything except just sit and wait.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Several sources published polls which allegedly show that upwards of a quarter of all "right-wing" voters in France, Germany, Italy and Spain think that Trump is "an enemy of Europe". If true, this is a pretty solid indicator that he's far more unpopular among the more center-oriented electorate (to say nothing of the neoliberal extremists). Given Trump's narcissistic tendencies, this could also suggest that he'd be far more prone to "assisting" the EU's unraveling, particularly if that means the US could establish a much firmer pro-American bloc (especially in Eastern Europe).]]></description>
