Now we are at the WW1 - WW2 part of the century cycle. I think there’s reason to be concerned about a fairly major market recession in 2024. We are approaching fork in the road foreign policy moments with China, Russia, Taiwan, and Ukraine, all headed into a very volatile election year. Wages are flat, inflation is up, the housing market and interest rates are pure stupidity, but the jobless rate is low, but considering the wages suck, it’s not a good indicator for the health of the economy, and quite frankly hasn’t been since the 1950s when Ike left us the greatest middle class in history.

And now with the war in Israel and them being one of our biggest allies, we are really in a very difficult position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve ALWAYS thought if a massive war happened it would be because of Iran. Scoff, but China and Russia are way more “rationale” and “sane” than Iran. Even North Korea just talks a big game and won’t actually do anything. Edited October 14, 2023 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not partisan and you should see what we give them/sell them and will do to support them. Within 24 hours of the attack I was in a briefing. DoD will not mess around here. Already talk of boots on the ground considerations. With China and Russia, we are more likely to see an arms race and cyber attacks as opposed to what we saw this weekend.

Excellent point but do not see iran living thru a f 35 attack. Iran is not equal to Iraq at the height that war was over in 72 hrs. Russia if look at head to head tank battles is 10 Russian tanks dead to 1 of ares. Today if that is true then the Russian army in 10 days would be spent. This would mean that Russia would have zero oil to export or fuel there machinery. Pg there are many smart people believe we waged operation desert storm to see just how good the soviet equipment was. Point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonanza23 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Ok so hopefully you guys know me as a non conspiracy theorist. And definitely not a believer in aliens. But evidently the good ole USA has a military fighter aircraft that is pretty close to Wonder Woman and her invisible jet. I know someone who has seen it. And yeah, no not actually invisible depending on the sun’s angle towards the aircraft. For research: look up timelines of knowing about certain aircraft and their known after the fact in development research programs. F-15, F-16…..F-22. F-35 isn’t yet researchable.

I can confirm that we have 6th Gen fighters we are working on but nobody without a TS clearance can say what they are or look like. Check out the B-21 that they unveiled in November… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my friend described what he saw I didn’t completely believe him at first so I did a little digging. This video is pretty identical to what he described: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work R&D and there’s some really cool stuff we will just put it that way. For a baseline, we don’t use the F-16 at all anymore but we do give it/sell it to our allies.

Trust me I know quite a bit about military aircraft. I’ve been fascinated since I was a kid and until recently went to the Cleveland Airshow every year. It’s fascinating technology, but unfortunately built for not so good reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
