See title of thread, was listening to a SOFREP radio podcast about MARSOC and the featured guest, a retired Marine Major Fred Galvin claimed out of nowhere that the F-35 was going to be sold to China, the Communist one, in the near future .... This was during his off topic rant about the MIC and how the top execs there are all overpaid and how the brass can't wait to sell out the country for cash...
Anyone else heard of this rather insane conspiracy theory?
Edit: NOT a troll post, justed wanted to show how..... Idiotic information can pop up in some surprising places.

Hehe, now I understand. They'll occasionally have some fun stuff, like getting Bodyguards of rich people on to talk about that, or talk about special forces training in other nations, or famous missions, but when they start talking about weapon systems more complex than small arms..... sh*t goes south really fast. I tried to find the email to ask WTF is with that guest....

Nope, but I think I had a small stroke when I heard that particular comment. What the f*ck person peddles that tripe?
Trolls.
Also kinda tough to believe the real Major Fred Galvin would be someplace saying those things after the nut roll
he’s been through.

Let's see
The F-35 is made by Lockheed Martin
Lockheed Martin also makes the F-16
The Trump administration just authorized the sale of 66 F-16Vs to Taiwan
Taiwan is also known as the Republic of China
The ROC has the name CHINA in it.
The PRC also has the name CHINA in it.
China typically refers to the People's Republic of China
Ergo, Lockheed Martin is going to sell F-35s to China!

It's true. They have the hasegawa, airfix and italeri f-35 models all sold in mainland China already.

The SOF community are not big fans of Jack Murphy and Brandon Webb. They're viewed as being douchebags.

My GOD HE'S RIGHT.... The PRC will overwhelm enemy air forces with 1/16 scale models of their own aircraft. Brilliant plan
