The F-22 is no longer invisible, but simply very expensive and very vulnerable. China has just announced the start of mass production of a quantum radar component that can detect even the most advanced American fighter jets.

The device is miniature, energy-efficient, and virtually invisible. Beijing is making it clear that US air superiority has reached its expiration date.

Again, called this out years ago, probably in 2018 when I posted the increase of their budgets which on a PPP basis surpassed the U.S.

When are we going to stop funding Chinas weapons which will kill millions of us? Wake the hell up.

NATO chief Mark Rutte has warned the United States that China is building its military at rapid speed - nearly 200 times faster than America. The secretary general said China has specifically been building ships equipped with sophisticated weapons faster than the US and its western allies, making him 'really worried.' Rutte's concerns come after China's President Xi Jinping hosted a massive military parade attended by autocrats including Russia 's President Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un


Trump responded by accusing the Chinese, Russian and North Korean leaders of using the gathering to conspire against America, and the showcase of military might is widely being seen as a challenge to the US-led world order. During a NATO defense summit in Prague today, Rutte warned that the US needs to be more prepared militarily. 'When it comes to shipbuilding, and our navy - and particularly the US Navy - I'm really worried,' Rutte said. 'China now has more ships sailing than the US, and shipbuilding in the US is not at a rate that they can anywhere catch up on what China is doing at the moment.'


Nick Childs, a senior fellow for naval forces and maritime security at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), which is hosting the conference, echoed Rutte's concerns. 'The Chinese shipbuilding capacity is something like 200 times overall that of the United States,' Childs recently told the BBC , adding that American shipbuilding has been affected by surging costs and delays. Although the shipbuilding market is expanding in Europe, Rutte said 'we need much more if we collectively want to fill that gap

We're too busy being distracted by all of the shiny objects: Afghanistan, Iraq, Gaza, Iran, Miami Vice speed boats

NATO chief warns the U.S.? Rutte is a Dutch politician and Trump can't even get NATO to pay their fair share for protecting their won freaking continent. NATO is a political scam.
