The West's DEI military engineers have met China's military engineers in the skies over India and got their asses handed to them.

Better get used to these kinds of headlines. 20 years into DEI the deficits are going to start showing big time between Merit based and politically correct based educational progress. China is just now beginning to reap the rewards graduating 300,000 high level engineers a year. By sheer force of numbers they will dominate.

America has never been about merit, and DEI has nothing to do wth this.

It's not what you know but who you blow to get ahead in this country.

WTF does DEI have to do with it?

You guys automatically blame DEI for everything that goes wrong

Another official said at least one Indian jet that was shot down was a French-made Rafale fighter aircraft

Both officials said Pakistan's F-16 aircraft, made by Lockheed Martin (LMT.N), opens new tab, were not used in the shootdown.

The loss of true standard in performance.
It is not a positive attribute in the game of survival.

Frankly the most successful per capita population here in the states when it comes to technical prowess and engineering fields are the Asians not the whites.

Yes the French made machines are supposed to be on a par with the f-35. The French pride themselves on political correctness.

That's an extremely ignorance premise you came up with.

That's their crutch when the alleged "superiority' doesn't pan out.

And what does that have to do with the production of fighter jets?

And what does that have to do with the production of fighter jets?

Technology problem solvers have a tougher job as there are less people with the abilities to do so in a group of them. Extra money times more time to fix issues times delays in the product ready for service. Military, Science, NASA, and all others where government is involved is affected in a huge way.

That's their crutch when the alleged "superiority' doesn't pan out.

There is no such thing as racial Superiority; success is determined by hard work, determination, and, at times, fortunate parentage. Face it—the best predictor of how well someone will perform in school is how well their parents did academically. While being in a destitute situation may pose challenges, hard work and determination can overcome many obstacles and may even benefit future generations.

 

[Street Juice]

success is determined

Define "success"

 

[longly]

Define "success"

That would depend on the goal you set for yourself. For most people, it means having a better life than they had before. In college or technical school, it means successfully completing all requirements to earn the certification or diploma they desire.
