With all due respect, the best of your technology keeps loosing in competitions and doesn't sell unless you bully countries into buying that crap.

People get mad when I say the US is a paper tiger but the only reason we have such a huge military budget is because of R&D that goes nowhere by a bunch of private companies siphoning government funds plus a fuck ton of military bases that need maintenance funds to give the appearance of having a large military force.

In reality our tech is years behind that of other countries.
