CORRECTION. More definitive information about the missile the Russians used has come to light. It did not include a hypersonic glide bomb. Instead it was based on a third stage cannister containing 6 x 6 kinetic rods designed for penetration with a terminal speed of Mach 11. The cannister once it re-entered the atmosphere aimed the rods and released the rods in multiples of 6 at time. This guaranteed a specific pre-programmed area spread with a CEP of around 30 meters per set of rods. It is a devastating weapon, difficult to intercept and designed to take out hardened targets over a significant area.

This article was inspired by a debate which took place in the comments section of a posting by Michael Roberts on papers delivered at the recent Historical Materialism Conference in London.

Today it is becoming clear that the US ruling class and moderate Republicans are becoming concerned with Trump’s Cabinet picks. They face a conundrum. They used Trump’s popularity to win a majority in both houses of Congress, but now they have to contain him. Will they be able to do so or will Trump prevail? The next few months will tell, but it is unlikely that some of Trump’s picks will be confirmed by the Senate.

This article was written before and after the presidential election results were known. It analyses the US economy in the third quarter and the effect it will have on the Trump presidency. Trump won because he posed as the strong man able to renew the country, but as this article shows, the parlous state of the economy will soon disrobe him.
