As a US citizen, it is great to feel protected by such powerful technology, but will it be used for the benefit of all people living on this planet, or just US enforcing its point of view on other countries who do not have resources to pay for similar projects?

Will this now have to be matched by other countries who do not share US views? When does such 'arming race' end? Why do we 'sanction' other countries to disarm while creating Hypersonic Weapons here?

Are there examples of technology being applied to actually make peace without enforcing a particular view on the population, directly or indirectly.. ?
