Hey, as a usa propagandist you are supposed to keep the encirclement a secret! Think of all the naive euros who still think that usa is not an aggressive imperialist
Oh the US is, absolutely. But they're also the biggest war machine, and they make you pay those weapons in USD which keeps them on top. It's USD or one sided trade deals, which bring more USD.
As long as there is an enemy, on paper or real life, both sides want US munitions and tech. Wagner, for example, is/was quite proud of the fact they used western tech and firepower. China is quite proud of the fact they are developing their own version of the Patriot missile system, F35, and Littoral Combat ship after that information was taken by hackers. It might not be popular, but US war tech and tactics are cutting edge. So much so, even the countries that openly despise the US have to use their tech, paid for in USD
F35 is the plane that fell into the sea. Russia and china both developed hypersonic missiles while the usa MIC has none. They don't need to copy when their stuff works better.
Is this just hyperbole?
There are a ton of planes that have fallen into the sea, since planes were first put on ships. The one you're talking about fell off a flight deck, not fell out of the sky. There was a B2 bomber that crashed, too. That happened on US soil. Embarrassing.
The US has the Mach 20 AGM-183A. They also have laser weapons and the NGAD fighter already in the sky. They had the Predator drone in use in the Gulf War in the 90s, but revealed it to the public in the 2000s and retired it by 2018.

This man comparing rockets with airplanes. Completely nuts.
