Subsidies are inevitable. COVID caused supply chain issues and China's aggression in Asia motivated technologically First World countries to realize that they cannot depend on Asia -- in general -- for semicon products. Not every First World country can have their own native semicon industry, of...

If you want to go there... For any warrior, anyone with a weapon, including a child with a kitchen knife, is a threat -- IF THE CONDITIONS ARE RIGHT. The US does take the J-20 seriously, but that does NOT mean we fear it. It is undeniable that there are large technological and experience gaps...

How Does the Chinese J-20 Pose a Threat to U.S. Air Superiority ? By having internet Chinese post plenty of pictures. Pretty much it. :rolleyes:

True. The image of a 'super power' is partially created by perception. Not by the self, but by others. So if the rest of the world PERCEIVED the US to be a 'superpower', why should we argue otherwise? So according to your standard, there are two main components: 1. Defeat of a regional power...

Because US public transport system lacks DSI.

Most of the world is only one step away from starvation, so they need this flaw of the US to help them escape from their shiddy status.

So the only thing you have is this sentence... It is interesting to see how the F-15 (and indeed all fighters of that time period) were influenced by the MiG-25. What does 'influence' mean? Basically, it mean anything the reader want it to be. If the reader is captured by physical...

Wrong. The F-15 and MIG-25 came from the ------------------------------- A-5 Vigilante. The A-5 originally was designed to have twin vertical stabs but the US Navy chiefs thought that was too 'advanced' so North American refitted the jet with a single larger vertical stab that folded to clear...

Such as? Did you performed even basic research before you commented? Seems like not.

After the Cold War ended, former Soviet republics called US and asked if we want to go shopping, so we said: America F-Yeah...!!! We sent blacked out C-5s and they returned with Soviet tanks and even missile control consoles. Does that mean we were 'behind' the Soviets and had to 'copy' their sh!t?

When I was active duty, we used a mish-mash of imperial and metric rulers. Most of us on the radio would use metric, but we had no problems switching back and forth whenever we hear someone used 'yard' instead of 'meter'. So yes, we are comfortable with both rulers. :enjoy:

Not good... https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/26/economy/china-youth-unemployment-intl-hnk/index.html First, they lie down, now, their parents are supporting them.

Your respect is worthless. We saw in Ukraine that the (super)power that WAS suspected of taking US on turned out to be incompetent. Who next? The Parade Line Army? Step up.

Because there is no need. Xi Jing-Pooh will do to NKR as Pooh always have: put the smackdown on Lil Fat Kim when WE say so. :enjoy: More like if the opposite is true.

No, we will not suffer. But China WILL. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/20/texas-becomes-chip-hub-with-47-billion-investment-from-samsung-and-ti.html https://www.telecomtv.com/content/access-evolution/head-of-china-s-homegrown-microprocessor-industry-fund-arrested-in-fraud-scandal-45135/ This is...

NKR is a 'tough boy', are you THAT delusional? But then again...tough? No. Boy? Yes.

Actually, Iraq was the greater threat to the ME than NKR is to Asia. We got no problem letting children squeak.

Decopulating from China is neccessary. https://www.salon.com/2023/07/30/chinas-great-leap-backward-so-much-for-the-next-dominant-superpower/ ...in 2020, revealed that for the first time since China's economic liberalization in the 1970s, the working-age cohort had shrunk, decreasing by more...

Yes, the US uses the imperial system and Russia uses metric. Big difference.

That is because this Chinese version of 'Pierre Sprey' ain't gots the brains of the real Sprey, so he has no choice but to spam the forum and waste bandwidth.
