Bring on the tariffs. Kicking AAPL and other American companies out of China will be far more effective than kicking students out of here.

As well as it should be illegal for any American organization like the NIH, or any University here or research center to in ANYWAY be connected to biolabs in China. That is insane. We have literally been subsidizing Chinese bioweapon research targeting Americans.

True. Originally reported as the S300 series and Irans domestic copies of the 300s. Dont know if there were S400s or not...at any rate its been reported that for the initial volley, no aircraft were within 100 miles of SAM sites. They used the long range, ATG ballistic missiles first. As Slice and others mentioned here, the initial damage reports were greatly minimized by the West in an effort to de-,escalate the conflict and keep it from sparking a wider war. Israel sent a strong message in a single huge sortie...that the IDF can (did) completely knock out Irans air defenses and then destroy anything and everything in that country at will. Don't think we are gonna see anymore large scale attacks on Israel from Iran any time soon. They will continue to arm Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and any other terrorist group they can use as a proxy...like cowards...but they clearly dont want that smoke from Israel themselves. They are lucky that the IDF showed restraint this time. They could have destroyed every military base, nuclear plant, enrichment site etc if they wanted to. In fact, they destroyed 1 site next to Tehran...just to let them know that nowhere in their country is safe unless Israel allows it to be safe.

Biden Pardons Chinese Spies Convicted of Stealing American tech secrets​


President Biden pardoned two Chinese spies and the relative of a high-ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party who was caught with tens of thousands of images of child pornography on his computer last month in a prisoner swap between the two countries that was made public Thursday when the three received clemencies.

Yanjun Xu and Ji Chaoqun, who were both convicted of espionage, were granted clemency last month, along with Shanlin Jin, who was convicted of possession of more than 47,000 images of child pornography while a doctoral student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas in 2021.

F35 will have a new motor within 2 years that will make it untouchable. Difference between the hornet and super hornet.

F15 receiving upgrades as well. Will be the fastest fighter on the planet with new capabilities. Goal is to operate it man less, controlled by F35s, making it the worlds deadliest drone. At least that is what I read. The F15 already has a flawless record as a dog fighter against commie trash planes.

F22 is still faster. But way more expensive.

I am pretty sure the Adaptive Cycle Engine got canned, or at least significantly delayed..They are upgrading the engine core on the F135 to manage the cooling power consumption and heat loads for TR4 avionics upgrades. The existing engine is having to be operating at higher than anticipated temp to even handle current upgrades. The ECU wont even be fielded until 2029, and the snail pace of these uogrades is just mind blowing,

It’s official: The F-35 will not get a new engine anytime soon - Breaking Defense

After rancorous debate, a new engine for the stealth fighter was already in doubt, but legislation released by congressional appropriators today seemingly puts the issue to rest.

Me and OB used to discuss this, though I don’t remember all the specifics.

Is it getting that GE adaptive engine?
