Comment on Chengdu J-20 Stealth Plane = “Akiyama Mio” by Fred:

The real deal is a fifth generation fighter with thrust vectoring, fly by wire controls, still secretive skin materials, supercruise, long range missiles with off bore sight capability, integrated helmet displays and squadron wide target sharing.

Its the kind of thing the US has deployed in the F-22 (two hundred aircraft is hardly “dead”) and will be deploying with the F-35. Its also the kind of thing the Russians have been working to develop in secret since the Berkut.
The J-20 has alot to prove… but I suspect they don’t intend to do that. Its more lucrative to sell it to an oil rich nation and leave them with the problem of figuring out the limitations.

  • Chengdu J-20 Stealth Plane = “Akiyama Mio”:
    The J-20 is suspected to have been made by combining a modern Russian airframe with the reverse engineered skin coatings of a downed F-117. Assuming they made it for the export market then it should be quite a successful stealth aircraft… so long as it doesn’t cross paths with the real deal.

  • 74% of Americans “Don’t Trust” China:
    Seems about right. They’ve been arming our enemies, screwing around with our money system, and cozying up with our politicians at every opportunity. The average American has every reason not to trust the Chinese government. We always knew were we stood with the Russians, and they have strong principles. China is going to be a troublesome opponent because its wrapped itself around our industrial base.

  • 70% of US: “Dump Japan in Favor of China!”:
    I think this poll is bullshit. Honestly, Japan? After staring down nuclear annihilation, the communist wave, natural disasters and every political mishap possible, do you really believe Americans would walk away that easily? Yea, that’s not happening.

  • 24 Car Ferrari Pile-Up Japan’s “Most Expensive Ever”:
    Its a fairly safe car, as you can see. Besides: people who can afford one Ferrari can probably afford two or three and in the insurance to cover them. Its all covered. We commoners can now go back to paying a higher premium for every parking ticket we get…

  • 24 Car Ferrari Pile-Up Japan’s “Most Expensive Ever”:
    100mph is not that fast for most cars. Especially not for supercars.

    As a general rule of thumb, I avoid putting my penis into things which eventually plug into a 110V wall socket.
