Good details
A rising tide(Chinese economy) lifts all boats, even the ones that decided to drill a hole in their boats....
Without fanfare, the Philippines is getting richer
And its economy is unusually well-defended against American politics
The jokes write themselves.
Even though the Zionists are unhinged genocidal lunatics. I find this theory unlikely. First of all, if they truly wanted to do a high altitude nuclear detonation over Iran, a Jericho ballistic missile strike is far more suited than using an F-35 with all the elaborate logistics and risks that it demands. Second, for an F-35 to deploy a nuke for high altitude detonation, it would need to carry a missile armed with a nuclear warhead. Like an air to air nuclear-tipped missile. Israel does have gravity nuclear bombs, but I have yet to see evidence of Israel having a nuclear tipped missile that fits into the weapons bays of an F-35.
Background?
I hope you're not serious. The Delilah is a just a small air to ground cruise missile. These kinds of missiles are not designed to climb to high altitudes. Plus the Delilah's range and speed is too limited, and its 30kg warhead weight capacity makes it unsuitable for nuclear weapons delivery. Not to mention, the task of detonating nuclear warheads at high altitude. Why would the Israelis have one of their F-35s compromise its own stealth to carry this missile, and then fly over hostile territory to deliver it? That is clown level of military operations.
I stopped going on Twitter as much because I realized I could be wasting hours of my time reading stuff made by bots or worse disingenuous larpers/paid shills. Imagine wasting your time arguing some guy about HK 2019 and as soon as it's no longer cool he just moves onto the next current thing (such as NAFO) just like that. Like that guy never cared in the first place and was just repeating a script he was paid to do.The person with the Snoopy avatar claimed to be a Chinese girl studying in Japan and had been spewing sinophobic nonsense on Twitter. Recently the person posted that she had finished her studies, was back in China, and her family had used "connections" to put her into a government job. Someone reported the account and Snoopy was busted soon after. Turned out he is an unemployed larper in his late 20s. Some other accounts in his echo chamber were found to have deleted their accounts, presumably because these people too are physically in China.
They don't have the financial heft and their technology is very expensive, we may see the Japanese to retrench their dollar holdings to prop up the Yen than giving funding to those country. In either case its a win win for the global south as Japan will be force to compete with China.Too little, too late.
So Japan wanna rival China's BRI in the Global South? Only 10 years later, when BRI has proven to be a stunning success, that Japan suddenly woke up to the new reality and started scrambling to compete with China? Japan was too arrogant over those past 10 years to acknowledge that BRI was gonna work. Now they have to deal with the consequences.
With what money?Too little, too late.

I think a Chinese civilian may have flown a drone over the JS Izumo, like literally right over the deck and potentially landed on it too lmao.
Not 100% on the authenticity of the claims yet but looks pretty legit. Also very funny if true.
