    Australia should too, although we already have bunch of the shitty F-35’s, they are faulty by design, so maybe we can return them for a full refund.

      I mean, it’s not that they’re faulty. It’s that they’re manufactured by a now overt gangster who may pull the plug, if there’s a plug to pull. And tbh I’d be a little surprised if they didn’t engineer a plug that can be pulled, independent of the physical logistics supply chain.

      I repeat, as an American: do not trust our government, in any capacity. We are not your ally any more. I fucking hate that, but that doesn’t matter. Please. For the love of whatever god or honor or morals you hold dear: act accordingly. Do not be naive. Take this seriously. Save yourselves.

      No, best to hang on to them. Usually you have to capture your enemy’s planes to dissect, it’s rare that they’ll sell them to you

    Hey Switzerland have a look at that instead of saying “F-35 is the best plane in the world and the US administration said trust me bro I won’t fuck you”

        FFS I’m so annoyed at some of our federal counselors. Between all the Viola F-35 shit when France deal was amazing (basically, becoming besties with your neighbor).

        The grey-blond milf defending Vance after his NATO speech and a few weeks ago we had some UDC/SVP fuckers saying Trump have some good ideas we should take inspiration from.

        WTF? At least it’s good they don’t have that much power and we can vote them to oblivion, unless the population votes like shit… 🤦🏻

    The people who just spent the last 20 years telling us we had no money for hospitals and trains are now spending billions in weapons.
