The Americans don't trust Taiwanese with any half-way advanced weaponry because they are afraid somebody would fly the F35 to mainland lol. It's a catch 22.

A lot of people would probably sympathize with getting set for life doing something like that if they dont give a gently caress about returning to the island or whatever. Plus you dont need to actually physically fly the thing to get most of the info you need from it and in all honestly china probably already has all the info it needs from it.

one untalked about small advantage of drones is that pilots can't defect with their fancy new hardware whenever they feel like it

In a real 100% entire might of a countries GDP put into a war effort there would be like 3 j20s for each F35 we could field, f22s stopped production so all that would be left would be modified f16s.

the entire point of dilbert is that all his coworkers and his boss are all dumb lazy idiots (except for his woman coworker (who is just angry at everything all the time)) while dilbert is a mega genius who's being held back by everyone else

Winnie Xi will gladly trade in half a dozen Jack Mas to the speedrun merchant for a working Thorium reactor. Also Alipay can suck my dick, 2 years ago I could register a traveller account and use US credit card to load RMB onto a alipay account. Now I can't even login. Keep asking me to re upload passport photos and keep saying upload error.

i think western and especially american natsec types are arguing for a pullback of american investment into other countries for what they deem national security reasons (them realizing in the last couple years that the computer chips that go in everything are all made overseas and freaking out to quickly correct this is the loudest example) while the american finance and business sectors are uniformly against this because international wage arbitrage facilitated by free movement of capital (combined with restricted movement of people) has been the source of 100% of all their profits for the last half century

Centrist Committee posted:potentially really dumb take: the energy sector is still western industrial capital and the us military should be considered a capital expense I read an explanation that the US was able to keep the developed world/developing world status quote for 80 years with virtually no country could elevate into the developed club is that US has had a cycle of steps to keep the other countries down. Baaically it goes like this, US went into a country and beat the crap out of it for reasons (see, Iraq), and then US was supposed to "rebuild" it by making the country sign away all her resource rich mines and let the US companies get all the fat contracts to make power plants/extract resource/oil refinery/whatever, which basically would completely control the resource and political system of the country for eternity. However, this changed since the recent Middle East wars because Chinese companies were able to go in the post war rebuild phrase of the cycle (in Iraq) and has been able to offered more competitive and cheaper service for infrasturture building. This breaks up the US harvesting phrase of the cycle and thus making the US global military empire unsustainable. I am not that into the detail of infrasturture contracts so I haven't verify it from a different thinktank source yet. However this explanation sound reasonable.
