Yep Putin is done it's just a matter of how this all shakes out. In a few years we will look back at this war and see it as the end of Putin's resurgence of the old guard. Honestly so far the west has played this perfectly, giving that early dump of defensive weapons to give Ukraine the ability to stop the Russians, then slowly filtering in the more offensive stuff to allow them to start pushing the Russians back....at this point Ukraine should accept nothing but the total withdraw of Russian forces.

We are developing a multitude of hypersonic missiles and have been, they just weren't a priority because for 20 years we were hopping between opium fields in the Middle East.

Going back over the last few years and looking at the Defense Budget, in 2020, there was $2 billion allocated to developing hypersonic technologies, in 2021, it jumped to $3.2 billion, and in the 2022 budget proposal, $3.8 billion is now being proposed with 70 hypersonic programs drawing funds from this pool.

Russia didn't beat the United States to the punch more so than the U.S. just didn't see a need for it. The U.S. will catch up quickly.
