China’s New ‘Stealth Air Force’ Is Built for a War Against America
National Security Journal ^ | 8/20/2025 | Sébastien Roblin

Posted on 08/20/2025 6:01:27 AM PDT by whyilovetexas111

China’s stealth air force has exploded from a small, elite capability into a massive and rapidly growing fleet designed to challenge American air power. With hundreds of J-20s in service, the new J-35 entering production, and three different sixth-generation prototypes already flying, Beijing’s ambition is clear. This formidable force, supported by a growing fleet of new tankers and AWACS aircraft, is specifically tailored to counter the U.S. in the Pacific by hunting key support assets and penetrating defenses.

We lost Iraq and Afghanistan on very, very unfavorable terms.

We gave them both up long after directed military conflict. It was political failure, not a military failure. So was Vietnam.

Please call me Marty.

I run the ArmstrongEconomics scam site.

The worth of my advice can be measured by my three bankruptcies and losing over $700,000,000 of my clients' funds in bad trades.

That failed ponzi scheme got me eleven years in the federal pen.

“You post one of these articles every day. You have never posted a story referencing air superiority of US forces.”

Delta7 is pro Russia, anti-USA.


“The ONLY way to defend against our insane Neocons is to pull together as a united front with Russia, China, North Korea, and others against the West.”

————-
The enemy won, they achieved their goals in removing us. “ War” has many aspects, the one with a superior military no longer dictates the outcome, as we are witnessing worldwide.

The US is all shock and awe, depleted inside a month. They are learning much from Russia’s war of attrition, we have no defense ( or stomach) against that.

Years after the actual conduct of war.

“ War” has many aspects, the one with a superior military no longer dictates the outcome, as we are witnessing worldwide.

Which is why I'm accusing you of relying upon subjective definitions.

Let's try an objective definition: war (wôr)
n.
1.
a. A state of open, armed, often prolonged conflict carried on between nations, states, or parties.
By that definition and by common usage, the US won in GWI Iraq, Saddam called it quits, and GWWB set up a containment mechanism, AFTER which GWB initiated GWII, complete with a separate Congressional authorization. AFTER removing that government (see "between states") GWB set up an occupation and started "nation building" (despite Bush's promises to the contrary).

Two wars were fought, complete with beginnings and endings. That's why people refer to GWI and GWII and that's why you knew what "GWI" and "GWII meant." AFTER those wars, a separate party got involved (Iran) who was never part of either of those two wars both supporting an insurgency and tweaking the Iraqi government.

Adhering to the definition, the two wars were won. The peace was lost. Same story in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Your thesis is as if the British banking system took over this country, therefore we lost the Revolutionary War. It confuses and distorts the record of military conflicts with political change for purely rhetorical purposes. That is why subjective definitions are therefore dishonest. It's what leftists do.

Nope, just like their stuff. The font is nice and big and I can see it. I can’t see a lot of sites as I have some eye issues.

“”””China has no military objectives outside China and its territorial waters. Never has, and never will.””””

China is trying to build the world’s biggest military just to keep someone from invading them, or not allowing free trade movement of their shipping?

Who is out to conquer China?

Do you think all those nations who live in fear of China conquering them believe what you claim?

Logistics wins the war. Our history of winning, from CW to WW2, relied on numbers. We don’t have that output capacity anymore. We can’t beat China in their own backyard. Good news is, their planes can’t actually reach us over here.

You haven’t responded. I guess that means you actually said this.
