This is a fair article, but two things spring to mind. Could poor performance comments be propaganda? The F35 does look like a flying bathtub, so maybe it is a dog. As things stand and this has been the case for a few years, US ships and planes cannot lock onto Russian planes and ships. Is this a US trap? unlikely, after Russian planes buzzed US carriers in the Pacific. The navy didn’t even see them coming until they were over the flight decks.

If one looks at European theater, US/NATO looks like it wants a nuclear war. Everything appears to be geared towards this. When one looks at the Washington/US military and NATO bubble, they are playing fantasy games and no one is big enough or brave enough to say ‘hang on a minute, are you really sure”?

Without being over the top, things look very bleak given that the US & UK are bankrupt. The US was bankrupt in 1929 and through the 30’s. US & UK corporations were pumping huge sums of money into the Germany war machine and then the UK started WW2 in 1939.

1929–1939 WW2

2008–2018 WW3?

You can argue that WW3 started when illegal sanctions were placed on Russia. This was an act of war bar pulling the trigger.
