I dont have any evidence but keep wondering if there is a public response and a more hushhush realpolitik thing going on under the surface
That would imply that usa has better missiles. They don’t and we know this because up until quite recently there were arms control treaties which meant that all the research and tests that usa was doing were being watched.
Their recent tests of hypersonic missiles and their inability to produce enough air defense misslies shows that they don’t have the capability to create new better secret missiles or even make enough old missles to keep up[ to demands.
The usa’s inability to increase production of shells, long range guns, armored vehicles, etc. all show that america doens’t have the industrial capability to even produce enough basic weapons. They can’t even produce enough of weapons based on 80 years old tech.
Even if somehow they did have more advanced missiles they wouldn’t’ be capable of producing enough to change the tide of the war.
and all that doesn’t even factor in the new export restrictions on critical rare earth minerals that china has a virtual monopoly on.
That strategy sounds way too advanced for Trump’s mind, so I really don’t think so.

No. Too many eyes on the area. Not even counting hungry journalists trying to break a story.
Thatonecoder raised an intriguing countertheory, that they could be quietly putting together their own homegrown version (likely with rare parts from the US i would add). Hope they are
If they are making their own then they aren’t using them. I refuse to believe that they wouldn’t if they could. Therefore the US has probably told them to not use them in exchange for steady re-supply or intelligence access.
This is a game of shadows, too; Russia can’t know about it until it is too late for them.
What’s happening is that, unlike the Europeans, the US is trying to find an off ramp because they understand that they lost their proxy war.
You have not heard of the Big Chungus missile that is coming over post haste? It is all over Telegram.
There is a higher chance that Ukraine has made their own missiles, and this is all a distraction.
wait till you find out that you need things like factories and electricity to produce missiles
They have their own factories, and contracts with factories on other countries. And, yes, they are working on their own missiles.
They have no large scale manufacturing at this point because Russia can hit anywhere in Ukraine with impunity, and does large strikes on daily basis now. On top of that, Ukrainian energy grid is on its last legs now. https://archive.ph/vRYOO
If you actually believe these stories of Ukraine working on their own missiles then you’re a highly credulous individual. The article you linked is from August, and we’ve seen zero evidence for any of what it says being true. I guess some people still can’t learn to spot bullshit after having been lied to by western media for the past three years.
That source also says Ukraine is extremely resilient, doesn’t it? Even if their energy grid is “on its last legs”, they can make contracts with foreign manufacturers, and find other solutions for civilians.
Comprador capitalism, famously flexible and resilient system
There is no person wanting a society with equity, and unity. However, no country has done that sobl far, and, at this point, I believe there have to be civil wars in many, many countries until that point.
The same source that’s been telling you that Ukraine is winning the war. But hey if you still believe that, what else is there to tell you.
They aren’t losing it now, are they? Considering Russia’s military superiority in numbers, they should’ve been annexed long before.
I mean here’s what top British military people are saying https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-russia-war-defeat-david-richards-world-of-trouble-podcast-b2844349.html
Meanwhile, you don’t seem to understand how wars of attrition work. The goal of the Russian army is to destroy the fighting capacity of the AFU. They’re not aiming for territorial gains, they’re destroying the army, and that necessarily takes time. When the army collapses, they’re going to be able to take whatever territory they want and dictate their terms. Go read up on how things went in WW2, the front was largely static for most of the war, and then the Red Army marched to Berlin in a matter of months.
