The Israeli Air Force on Sunday said it had grounded 11 of its advanced F-35 stealth jets after a similar model of the plane crashed during a test flight in the United States earlier this month.

All of Americas toys are broken, China is coming with Russia, Iran, India and many other in tow. The end of Americas rule is at hand and they will be nuked. China survived any fallout when America nuked Japan so they aren't Afraid to use them on their enemies. Please evacuate if any Americans are reading this. Your days are numbered.
