The USA already knew their drone technology is behind
DJI which was probably their agenda to do DJI in, just like doing TikTok
in from competing with the likes of Youtube and other USA grown social
media.
Think about it. If USA drone technology is better than
DJI, why is there a need to take down DJI with spurious claims. Were the
USA thinking of forcing DJI to sell its drone technology and secrets to
a USA entity just like forcing TikTok to do the same? How could DJI be
accused of stealing USA drone technology when it is ahead of the USA in
the game? Does this make any sense? Why not use the same argument
against TikTok and accuse it of stealing USA tech instead of using the
National Security hubris?
China is now more advance in drone
technology for sure and knowing that drones will play a very important
part in future wars makes the USA paranoid. Even Iran is now well versed
in drone manufacturing and the recent skirmish against Israel is just
an indication of the tip of the iceberg.
The USA may be spending
hundreds of billions more than others on military equipment, and even if
China and Iran may be spending less, the latter two get more bang for
the buck. The USA Reaper Drones cost US$30** million each. Compare that
to the cheaper Chinese and Iranian drones and you can understand how
bloated the USA defense budget has become. Oh, not to forget the US$600
toilet seat covers that was reported, and a bag of some kind of pins
costing hundreds of dollars which the Chinese could supply for US$10.
The USA military contractors are so corrupt it is unbelievable.
When
the US$ hegemony ends, and when toilet paper printing is curtailed,
then the whole picture is going to change substantially. For now, the
USA is just making hay while the sun shines, spending like no tomorrow.
Actually, tomorrow for them is an uncertain future.

That is why USA Military contractors want more wars. More wars mean bigger defense budget spending, which in turn means more opportunities for them to rip off the USA Government, that in turn will resort to punishing taxpayers who are actually footing the defense bill. More tariffs on imported goods are just one example. Who pays for those tariffs? But the USA voters seem undeterred, and everyone thinks it is a win-win situation for all - the USA Government's inflated ego, the defense contractor's ever bulging pockets and the ignorant public thinking that war means winning everything to make the days of wine and roses continue forever. The decades of free loading have gone to their heads.
ReplyDeleteThey have not learnt or refused to learn the lessons from Vietnam, Afghanistan and now in Ukraine, funding black holes and getting nothing in return but more debts for them and their children to shoulder. The Vietnam War costs the USA US$843 billion, the Afghanistan War costs the USA US$910 billion, and the Iraq War costs the USA US$1.01 trillion, all in 2019 money values. How much is the Ukraine War going to cost?
The irony is that the USA public seems ignorant of the problems escalating within the country besides corruption - the homelessness issue, the drug infestation problem, the fake job statistics and the continued hyping up of the economy on ICU with banks in deep trouble.
The voters have been brainwashed to fix their attention on foreign issues and demonizing Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. The fabrication is going to last until November, and if Trump wins, he will inherit a mess. But Trump and Biden will continue to blame each other for the state of affairs.
After all, it is just four more years for another change-over. Trump, even if he wins in November, cannot be credible to lead after his 2024 term, even if allowed to. He will be more than 82 years old. Right now, he is already not as clear headed as four years ago and prone to gaffes as well, but only better compared to Joe Biden.
