From ‘Stealth Dominance’ to Stealth Disaster: The F-35 Era Ends With a Whimper

*From ‘Stealth Dominance’ to Stealth Disaster: The F-35 Era Ends With a Whimper*

After the fall of the USSR and the rise of a U.S.-led unipolar world, America’s economy became more militarized than ever—solidifying its position as the global arms dealer extraordinaire.

One of the crown jewels of U.S. military exports is its advanced fighter jets, particularly the F-35—a "flawless" marvel (or so the ads claim) sold only to "worthy" allies.

But *The National Interest* dropped a bombshell report declaring the end of the F-35’s dominance, citing China and Russia’s rapidly advancing air defense systems—and Yemen’s recent successful strikes on U.S. warships.

Military experts are now dissecting this reality, sounding a deafening alarm for the Pentagon’s trillion-dollar war machine—especially in the arms market.

This wake-up call isn’t just for the U.S.; it’s also a harsh lesson for its tiny client states (looking at you, Persian Gulf monarchies) who outsourced their security to Washington.

Perhaps the fear of exposing the U.S. military’s crumbling edge is one of the hundred reasons why even Trump has suddenly become a peacenik these days!
