Americans scrapped 'world best' F22 and left with dud F35. Why?

 The American and western media have been blowing their own trumpets about how superior were their weapons and technologies. The F22 is the best fighter aircraft. F35 is also very good, but much inferior to the F22, and plagued with numerous problems. Only fools that believed in American propaganda and lies would want to buy the F35. Or they were forced to buy as protection money to the Americans, thus no choice. No fish, prawn also ok.

F22 and F35 are American's best. F22 supposedly better than China's J20, But dud F35 very much inferior. Now that the Americans have stopped production of F22 citing nonsensical reasons to can a so called superior fighter aircraft, the best American fighter aircraft is now the problematical F35, basically a dud. No American fighter aircraft is now in the class of China's J20. 

The former Indian Air Force Chief, using Indian logic and thinking claimed that the French Rafale, a 4.5G fighter is better than 5G J20. His logic, when India had 1 Rafale, China deployed 5 J20s to the border base. When Indian received 4 Rafales from France, China increased its deployment to 20. So 1 Rafale is as good as 5 J20s. Very clever thinking, without knowing that China has nearly 1,000 J20s while Indian could only afford to buy 36 Rafales. He added that Rafale has been operating for 25 years, tested in war. J20 is new and not tested in war. So Rafale is superior to the J20. Forgetting the fact that the Rafale is 25 year old technology while the J20 is the latest 21st Century technology, the only 5G air superiority aircraft today. 

How many people would buy into this Indian kiddy logic? Rafale more superior to J20 and 1 Rafale can take on 5 J20s?  I try very hard not to laugh. The Rafale would be shot down without seeing the J20 and would not know what hits it in combat.

How to fight against the PLA Air Force? Actually the scrapping of F22 tells a lot about its fake claims of superiority. Why would the Americans scrapped their so called best fighter aircraft if it is really that good? And now left with a sick F35 that is no where near the J20. The F35 is a mismatch against the J20, not even near the Rafale except for all the false claims of superiority. The Americans must be deranged to scrap their so called world best fighter and left with nothing good. This is like claiming to have gone to the moon but finally admitting that it was all fake. F22 superiority is all fake and no point sticking to the lie. F22 is only good for shooting down hot air balloon, and needed several shots to hit its target. 

 The Americans would now have no aircraft that they can claim to be in the class of J20 once the F22 is out of service. No more air superiority for the USAF. Unless they believe in the Indian claim and go about acquiring the 25 year old tech Rafale. The fact that the Americans are not doing so says a lot about the capability of the Rafale. Case closed.

Iranian President assassinated?

 I honestly believe that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi would one day be assassinated. That he died in a helicopter crash is too simple to believe. It must be the 'Mother of all Coincidences' to have happened in such a way.

Several Iranian military leaders have already been assassinated by the USA or Israel. The stakes are higher this time, with the recent puncturing by Iran of the Israeli 'Iron Dome' myth and the warning by the Iranians of sidelining the religious factor preventing Iran from going into possession of nukes. This is rattling the USA and Israel.

Many analysts are now saying that Iran is the biggest influence in the Middle East today, taking over from the USA. This is indicated by Middle Eastern countries like Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait and UAE all refusing to allow the USA to launch retaliative strike from their territory against Iran a month ago. They knew that antagonizing Iran is not a good move. That tells us who has a stronger influence in the Middle East today.

So, is taking out Iran's influence not on the agenda of the USA and Israel? Taking out Iran's nuclear ambition is already a pre-occupation of the USA and Israel. And for Iran openly declaring its intention to go nuclear is rattling the USA and Israel. Only the myopic cannot see the true picture.

American liars continue to lie about their economic data

 The 2% growth in the USA is touted as strong and being hyped up to high heaven. We know the job figures in the USA are not true, the Wall Street jubilation of reaching new heights is all because of the printing press working overtime. With all the closures of big shopping establishments and shrinking outlets, more jobs are lost than created. Yes, people having to take on two to three jobs to put food on the table does make job creation a rosy affair. It is all just a mirage.

The 5.2% growth in China is touted as full of gloom and doom, and China is facing big problems and is collapsing. It is so bad that there was even one pro-USA shrill shouting that the Canton Fair of 2024, the world's biggest trade fair held in China, sold 'not a single thing'. Really not a single thing? This was what one social media site shamefully gloated and have the audacity to show its face. Unbelievable but true! How could such a site intend to garner credibility promoting such lies?

China is now investigating dumping by plastic manufacturers of the West and Japan. This will not be the only one sector China is retaliating against and will not be the last. China is not afraid of decoupling today and will retaliate against what the USA and the West is doing to Chinese companies. And the most audacious response by the USA is again telling China not to retaliate against the tariffs on Chinese EVs. When Trump started the tariff war, he also warned China not to retaliate. But China did.

China, diplomatically courteous it may be, is not Japan or Germany, by being slam dunked by the USA and afraid to do anything. Now Japan is literally asking the USA for permission to prop up its faltering Yen. Yellen is warning Japan discreetly not to overdo it, perhaps fearing that Japan may have to dump more Treasuries for US$ to prop up the Yen, which is not good for the USA. We know that in the past, Japan had sold off Treasuries to prop up its currency on many occasions. This time it is another similar crucial move if Japan is to save the Yen. What one side stands to gain will have to be at the cost of the other side's misfortune.

Chinese technologies have surpassed the Americans and the West

 If China can tame the big Japanese and South Korean tigers, and all the other smaller tigers, which other global tiger is China afraid of?

The biggest revelation about China's rise is that it has an all-round domination in almost all sectors of global activity, not just particular sectors, which is not found in other countries like Japan, South Korea, Germany or the USA. And the domination extends even to essential raw materials in the ground and up to the facilities to extract and refine them for use.

China not only is dominating in consumer products like EVs, renewable energy equipment like solar panels and wind turbines, but also in shipbuilding, in drone technology, in space exploration, in telecommunication like 5G. How dominant China has become in military hardware and digital warfare is not well defined or exposed, but certainly not a stagnant sector. China is intending to dominate semiconductors and airplanes going forward. The signs are there, and it is a warning that the West needs to take note.

The USA and the West can continue to downplay Chinese developments and achievements, like the Huawei Pura 70 phone, and delegate China's military hardware as mere junks. What is junk and not junk is clearly displayed in the Ukraine and Middle East Wars, with DJI drones being preferred to multi-million dollars reaper drones made by the USA. Looking down on China and denigrating China is not a wise move, as what happened over the last three decades.

PS. China is leading in 6G and Quantum technology. These two tech would change the whole world and make the current operating systems all obsolete.

Taiwan taken over by traitors in DPP

 ASIA countries have been living peacefully with each other till now. In parliament Taiwan DPP is the minority with a minority president, yet it shows hegemony and un-democracy. It abused and refused to account for all corruptions, oppression, suppression and evils towards its citizens with opposing views. Clearly during DPP rule, it shut down opposing news medias voices. It exhibit cults mentality to coerce deferring views. Evils beget evils.

DPP seek war with China and is gravitating towards sparking the next ASIA war. When DPP Taiwan imploded, it will cost a ripples effect on all neighbor small countries such as ASEAN and South Pacific nations. 

As a citizen of ASEAN, I strongly voice against DPP to behave itself and not to cause hardship in ASIA. ASIA will be economical and financial ruined if war to break out in Taiwan. ALL ASEAN countries must put pressure to these hegemony minority DPP to follow all democracy principles. 

All Asia countries big or small need to exhibit kindness, peace and harmony to continue and accelerate THE-NEXT-ASIA century.
