Another version of the Japanese's excuse:

"Japan killed more than 30 million Chinese during World War II, and Japan should be condemned."

"The CPC famine killed 100 million people, why don't you blame the CPC?"

One is an economic plan that went wrong due to various factors including really bad weather that was unusually bad by chance. Take that away and maybe the thing might have not happened, def not the same extent.

The other is deliberate killing without where nothing would change since it was dependent on intent.

Its not really hard to see.

Btw I find it funny how I have not seen a single US/UK person ever mention they deliberately sanctioned China during famine with the intent of killing more people. That is not random and will not go away.

Monroe Doctrine 2.0 isn't going to work painlessly. If US withdraws back to western hemisphere then the dollar will become toilet paper. Without the dollar hegemony US living standards will decrease enormously.

Trump either isn't aware of this, or perhaps he is aware and he finds that acceptable.

Their upcoming war against Venezuela is presumably to establish their lordship over the American continent. If they are going to do it it better be clean win like Gulf War 1.0, if not even the Monroe Doctrine with a weaker US may not be possible. Afterall starting and failing a war in South America is how USA became New United States in Cyberpunk

Trump admin is impulsive and incompetent. I don't think they have a coherent vision and it seems they actually believe "we subsidize the entire world" stuff. There is no US hegemony without the European participation. Even the GWOT was sustained through European bases and most US sanctions would have much less bite without Europeans joining. A single example: China had a rival to Nvidia and Qualcomm by now if the Netherlands was not blocking EUV. The SWIFT is literally European too.

During the Cold War days, sure, but these days, the whole ballgame is about engaging opfor without them even knowing you are there until they get splashed. Not even some modern AAMs will give you the courtesy of a nice clear lock tone before impact.

The very fact you lived to get within WVR of opfor is already overwhelming evidence they are not trying to actually kill you.

In modern air positioning displays like this, a lock tone is purely messaging after a bout of dogfighting to tell the other guy you got them cold and that you are indisputably the superior pilot and/or have the superior plane. Only in the movies or if some literal cold warrior got teleported into the cockpit straight from the 1970s would the pilot genuinely think getting locked in such circumstances means they are seconds away from death.

This is technically not true and has a low relevance to the topic. WVR has nothing to do with the topic too. LPI modes are always separate in fighter radars because of their range and refresh rate penalty, and higher susceptibility to some jamming techniques. Even the J-20A wouldn't always be on the LPI mode.
