1. Wait we have a military? That’s surprising haha 😆

2. I think one thing people overlook for all the stealth, sensor fusion, blah blah blah, is that F-35 is a cheap jet that will still have product support into the 22nd century

3. A suprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

4. Yeah right, believe it when I see it. Only in the next decade, current fiscal policy very much garantees it will only happen past 2030, because its a very expensive program and there are other priorities like capable ground forces, with minimum amounts of gear.

5. I’m Pro-Buying American weapons because Europe sells too

   I’m Anti-Reliant on America

   I think trade is important with allies but at the same time I hope that Europe transitions away from such heavy reliance on the US and focuses more on its own security. Talk to any American that pays attention to all of this.. nobody says “yeah, we like Europe being so dependent on us” … most dont mind NATO but think Europe should defend itself for the most part.

   So there’s literally this agreement from Americans and Europeans to build a European Army… but then the lovely red tape of Europe exist.

   Also, I said European Army, not an EU Army meaning an army rather your country Brexited or not.

   Back to the real world.. I hope Ukraine gets more rapid support from Europe and Macrons fluff on French troops actually takes place… maybe take a few of these F-35’s for a spin too

6. I’ll only believe it when I see it.
