And some people thought Joe McCarthy

[Smokin' OP]

Wait, did he do it, or did he not do it?

Yes, of course he did.

And as experts said at the time, there is no difference between the technology to launch several satellites and the technology of MIRV warheads.

Hmmm, and that's Clinton's fault?
Sure it is.

MIRV technology has long been a technically feasible option for China. By 1990, China had acquired the ability to launch multiple satellites into distinct orbits from a single rocket, a technological feat that in many ways mirrors that of deploying multiple warheads from a single missile. Despite obtaining this nascent ability, developing and deploying MIRVed missiles did not appear to be a top priority for the country's rulers. However, with the United States reinforcing its commitment to missile defense over the last decade, more Chinese experts are drawing connections between MIRVs and missile defense.

Who was the president in 1990?
Oh, snap.

It does not matter what it was for, it was what it was used for. And tell me, did he do it or not? Because you are conflicting yourself here.

No, I am not.

 

[Smokin' OP]

Nobody is saying it was. China already had nuclear plants and hydrogen bombs. What they had however was missile technology that was about 40 years behind that of the Russians and the US. President Clinton gave their "space program" a boost, and at the same time taught them how to make better ICBMs.

Having problems following this? Because you are sure bouncing all over the place here.

Sure he did, you're almost 5 years, give or take, off.
