“Their R&D seems to be much better than our R&D.
They are actually at war and we are not. War stimulates technological development. As near as I can determine, our technological progress has stalled under Obama. Like Hitler, he has decided to take the cheap route and rely on the old proven technology; the drones we have and guided bombs. (Germany had working jet prototypes but the propeller planes did just fine in Poland and they were cheap.)
Obama has no need to develop defensive equipment as it would cost money, be embarrassing if it failed, and it would only save US military lives, which is not his priority.
Consider:
"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life.In times of peace, obama, like with Wilson, FDR, Carter and the rest of the demonrat presidents before him, wage a war against America's healthy body fighting on the fronts Stalin points to.
If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."
~ Joseph Stalin
As long as the illusion of physical world peace is maintained, they can and will also fight on the front of military maintenance, repair and R&D.
Thus, times of peace is when their war is most effective and why physical wars must be avoided, even or especially a just war, such as with FDR's reluctance to enter WWII and Wilson's reluctance to enter WWI before him.
If we were also fighting in a physical war for survival, as was the case in WWII, the F-35 would be heralded as the tech marvel it likely is and the F-22 would never have been cancelled.
With no physical war to deal with, the PTBs are free to continue their war against US in the mental/emotional/psychological realms as outlined above by Stalin, while also decimating the military.
On a spiritual note, if America enjoyed any divine protection in the past, why would it continue after 1973 when we legalized abortion?
Stalin knew the answer to that and so do the GuvCo demonrats and GOPe.
