  8. It makes perfect economic sense. When the voters of the current users of F-35 are told that their very expensive purchases only work when provided with monthly software updates from Trumps America… the US arms industry is not going to get any more orders from Europe.

    India is smart enough to just park them up* and reverse engineer them

    (*Or give them to the Russians)

  10. I’m reasonably concerned that in all probability he will re-arming Russia by the summer. Feel that will likely be the new alignment that Europe will be dealing with.

  12. Does it really matter though the f-35 is already outdated

  14. Another reason for Canada to cancel their F-35 contract.

  15. Tulsi Gabbard is head of DNI.. they are getting CC’d on everything.

  16. People here still “hoping for the best” from this guy and his regime?

    Stop. He is allied with the enemies of Ukraine and the traditional allies of the US. The United States government is compromised–we all need to accept that fact and act accordingly.

  17. That’s probably the plan. We can’t sell the plane to Putin directly, so this way he can get his hands on it. This has probably been prearranged.

  19. Modi and the current Indian government are not our friends

  20. The problem is that Trump can’t even spell Pakistan.

  22. Why doesn’t he just give putin a F35? He gave putin covid testing equipment everyone needed when covid started to spread around the world. Fuck Trump.

  23. Doesn’t matter, Russia can try to copy it, but everything they make now is trash.

  24. No they wont. India does appease both the west and Russia, but it does this for very strategic reasons. Namely China. India has a massive rival on it’s borders and it prioritizes keeping as friendly relations as possible with both the west and Russia in order to deter China. In short, it’s doing what it feels it needs to to survive.

    My point is that India doesn’t want to piss the US off that much. To a certain extent they will go against our will, but they are actively not trying to make an enemy of us either.

  26. Putin seems to be trump’s handler. Trunk seems to be putin’s useful idiot.
