If they cannot stop 300 jihadist with Russian air support, they had it coming. If you attack a province/city size of Syria in China... You need more than 300 jihadists.

Lockheed Martin lowered at Deutsche Bank, worried about China and F-35 sales

Lockheed Martin (NYSE:) -0.6% in Thursday's trading as Deutsche Bank downgrades shares to Hold from Buy with a $523 price target, cut from $611, citing doubts about F-35 sales because of China's progress in developing jet fighters.
Referring to his upgrade of the stock six months ago, believing earnings growth would accelerate, analyst Scott Deuschle said his "prior thesis struggles to hold water and we have increased concern on the long-term support for F-35 in the face of China's combat aircraft modernization efforts."
Deuschle said he is "struggling to find a compelling upside case on estimates," and "the reveal of further advancements in combat aircraft capabilities by China as potentially undermining long-term DoD demand for the F-35 aircraft."
"The developments in China are likely to accelerate the need for NGAD [next-generation air dominance], and the ultimate success in fielding NGAD by the early-mid 2030s could... partially cut into the F-35 procurement program," Deuschle added.
The analyst is generally optimistic on the aerospace and defense sector entering 2025, citing robust demand for key suppliers, and named RTX () and Northrop Grumman () as his preferred defense stocks.
Ain't that a good thing. As more time passes by, the balance of power tips towards China more and more. Having the US contests that more powerful future China without going all-nuclear just for some pyrric win by that time would be almost insurmountable and definitely suicidal.
The US once again stuck in the Middle East is a legitimate excuse to avoid that and save face. If this goes, the US as a superpower in time will probably diminish but retain its prestige as a military and diplomatic powerhouse. Kind of a weird mix of US superceding UK and a coexistence akin to US - USSR.
We're looking at this from a Chinese lens, which is probably the most realistic way of looking at life out of all the cultures on the planet, and should not be assumed to be the baseline for other cultures.
In the Arab world, they put the defense of Allah, not their nation or community as the highest social responsibility. This indicates that they view changes in nations and borders more like changes within a neighborhood, as long as the country (Allah) still holds, all is still well. From this view point all of their actions now make sense - Syria is still muslim, nothing has changed / Gaza may be gone, but we still have our numbers in greater arabia... However, just like the fool's errand of toiling all your life for a chance at getting into a make-believe heaven, their notion of the integrity of 'all under Allah' at the expense of actual countries, borders and partnerships leads to no tangible benefits.
Really it is very similar to the Indian belief that a shit life now is a result of bad actions in a past life, so just wait till the next life and you'll be fine.

Rampant inflation is so bad in the west, even fighters generation numbers are affected.
‘Our 6th gen didn’t come second, it’s actually the first 7th gen once adjusted for inflation!’
Also interesting that Jai-Hindification of the western world seems to be accelerating, almost as if in proportion to fraudulent visa approvals from a certain supapawa. Who would have guessed!
Indeed, it is kinda sobering at how weak western soft power is actually turning out to be. Back when China first opened up and joined the WTO, western pundits were all patting themselves on the back that Chinese industry and culture will soon be erased by ‘superior’ western imports and China will soon become a bigger but less developed version of Japan/SK. The reality is that not only didn’t Chinese culture backslide, it is positively resurgent and it’s the west that is literally loosing its shirt to Chinese competition despite sanctions and trade barriers.
Now in come the Jai Hind human waves and not only is western culture failing to ‘civilise’ them, but is itself being dragged rapidly into the gutter.
It's not them being dragged down to previously uncharted lows; it's them showing their true pattern of thinking. It's just that before, when they did hold some kind of lead, they could use real facts to back up their need for self-comforting. Now there's nothing there, so they turn to delusion. If they were at India's level of development, we'd be seeing a nation of brown jeets vs a nation of white jeets, all using the same tactics, arguments and wishful thinking.
