nekandro OP , to worldnews in Chinese scientists increase F-22 fighter jet’s radar signature 60,000 times with new detection method: study

Well, yeah? always has been

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Chinese scientists increase F-22 fighter jet’s radar signature 60,000 times with new detection method: study

The US is happy to fly an F-22 around willy nilly in air shows and whatever /s

The real answer is that the J-20’s RCS is probably similar to the F-22 and they realized that the J-20 is vulnerable to this. This has been a known problem with stealth technology for forever, so it’s really more of a deterrence. China really doesn’t want a war, which is why their Navy is so heavily oriented towards coastal (defensive) operations rather than blue water (offensive/power projection) operations.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Chinese scientists increase F-22 fighter jet’s radar signature 60,000 times with new detection method: study

Why would China want offensive abilities? Their only military engagements in recent history (if you exclude their embassy getting bombed in Serbia) have been fought with sticks and water guns.

Chinese policy has always been domestically-focused.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Jimmy Lai plotted mainland China’s collapse and installation of US-style democracy, says witness

Wasn’t the man literally meeting with British intelligence? That’s pretty clear imo

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Chinese scientists increase F-22 fighter jet’s radar signature 60,000 times with new detection method: study

I don’t think this work is even that surprising, which is perhaps the surprising part to most people. Fusing information from a network of radars has always been the Achilles heel of stealth aircraft. It’s just that radar fusion at a country-level scale hadn’t really been demonstrated before.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in Mario Draghi: Radical Change—Is What Is Needed [to spur competition and innovation in Europe]

China, for example, is aiming to capture and internalise all parts of the supply chain in green and advanced technologies and is securing the access to the required resources. This rapid supply expansion is leading to significant overcapacity in multiple sectors and threatening to undercut our industries.

The US, for its part, is using large-scale industrial policy to attract high-value domestic manufacturing capacity within its borders – including that of European firms – while using protectionism to shut out competitors and deploying its geopolitical power to re-orient and secure supply chains.

Glad to see the EU finally realize that China is not the only threat: the US is equally harmful (if not moreso) to Europe’s economic development.

Here’s a litmus test for everyone: What search engine leads in China? What search engine leads in the US? What search engine leads in Europe?

nekandro , to worldnews in Xi puts forth four principles to resolve Ukraine crisis

Laugh it off. Casual racism while espousing the values of diversity is the Western pastime. At least be honest with yourself.

nekandro , to worldnews in US plans to restore tariffs on dominant solar technology, sources say

Well of course. The US is a massive oil producer. Why would they give up such a key geopolitical advantage? Plus, models say that the emerging powers (China, India) and the big regional blocs (Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, South America) would all be hit harder by climate change than North America. From a geopolitical perspective, the US should absolutely sandbag climate efforts and do the minimum necessary to not look like they’re completely indifferent to the crisis.

nekandro , to worldnews in Hundreds could die if Boeing fails to handle quality issues, whistleblower says

Fun fact: JetBlue only operates AirBus aircraft, as does Frrontier and Spirit. Southwest only operates Boeing 737s.

nekandro , to worldnews in Nestlé adds sugar to infant milk sold in poorer countries, report finds

Victim blaming when Nestle could simply do… What’s better for the human body?

nekandro , to worldnews in Nestlé adds sugar to infant milk sold in poorer countries, report finds

Unfortunately, Nestle and J&J have spent billions on lawyers and consultants, so even if you could sue it would go nowhere.

nekandro , to worldnews in Spain and Slovenia Lead Push for EU Countries to Recognize Palestinian State

The US, UK, and EU.

What rarified air.

nekandro , to worldnews in Leaked Cables Show White House Opposes Palestinian Statehood

The US is trying to keep from dirtying their own hands by politicking their way through things. Unfortunately for the US, they can’t even control the decisions of other NATO members, nevermind the Global South.

nekandro , to worldnews in Russia to grow faster than all advanced economies says IMF

Japan is currently in recession. The UK is currently in recession. Germany is “likely in recession”. France is stagnating at 0% GDP growth in 2023Q3 and 2023Q4 (not technically a recession, but only by a hair). Italy is barely avoiding a recession. Outside of North America, no G7 company expects greater than 1% GDP growth in 2024.

Meanwhile, the US is seeing substantially hotter inflation numbers than expected, leading many to expect rate cuts to be delayed even further (despite the European Central Bank signaling their intention to lower rates soon). As a result, US interest payments are expected to exceed defence spending.

Western economies bleeding is not some prediction of the future: it’s an observation of present circumstances. Whether Russia is responsible is up for debate, but it’s undoubtable that Western economies are suffering and the only moderately resilient ones have proven to be the US and Canada.

nekandro , to worldnews in World wind report out now - China's wind capacity now more than the US, EU and UK combined. Meanwhile, the US installed less than 1/2 of what it did 2 years ago, and lowest level since 2014.

US wind was being led by Texas. The increasing partisan radicalization has stopped wind development in its tracks.
