F35 or rice cakes
While Canadian opposition party politicans continue to criticize buying new F35 jet fighter and what it 'might really cost', China has just unveiled the J 20-- its own stealth -- state of the art -- jet fighter. Thew plane is totally made in China and designed to keep the Communist state at the leading edge of military technology, defense and offense.
The revelation was via a fly over of the J 20 during a visit by high ranking U.S. government deligation. Oh how chagrined the Americans must have been!
For some 10 years China has worked secretly on this project and its sudden leap to the forefront of world aircraft technology must have been a huge shock to the U.S., Europe and the Russia.
So, the military game of chess has changed and ratched up a notch or two.
The Chinese understand the importance of staying up with the lastest war technology.
Maybe its time all Canadian politicans do the same
And the truth shall set you free. Knowledge is power. George Orwell's central premise in Animal Farm and 1984 was that the ability to remember the recent and distant past is crucial to a society’s freedom. It is the only restraint on government ambitions or other plots. Such amnesia is rampant today in North America and beyond. So this blog is here to add some historical perspective and remind people of forgotten truths.
