Russia says it has test-fired another hypersonic missile
The Russian navy on Saturday conducted another test of a prospective hypersonic missile, a demonstration of the military's long-range strike capability amid the fighting in Ukraine.
The Defense Ministry said the Admiral Gorshkov frigate of the Northern Fleet in the White Sea launched the Zircon cruise missile in the Barents Sea, successfully hitting a practice target in the White Sea about 1,000 kilometers (540 nautical miles) away.
[...] Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Zircon is capable of flying at nine times the speed of sound and has a range of 1,000 kilometers (620 miles). Putin has emphasized that its deployment will significantly boost the capability of Russia's military.

uhm... they are mostly rational, even the majority of those that act like religious nutcases.
if you follow the money, you will see that they are rational.
the exceptions? simple exceptions, and usually they end up with no real power, despite making noise during elections.
trump? fairly rational. psychopath, self-centered compulsive liar, but rational. most importantly: the government itself remained rational, with various elements blocking his biggest mistakes.
