Good. It’s time for them to nut up and get it through with. There’s no real alternative fighter for them

We want to force people to buy our aircraft?

And you want Canada to be able to back out of a deal they agreed to, just to spite the US?

I mean they'll still owe Lockheed a fortune. It's a dumb move. But it's their dumb move to make.

I'm good with Canada not having the best fighting aircraft.

The Joint Strike Failure is shite, and I don't blame the Canucks for not wasting money on Fat Amy.

I suspect the F 35 is engineered around the US execution of defense of North America. It is possible the Swedish plane is not. Remember Sweden just joined NATO. So if Canada continues with its hissy fit, then we will have to cut Canada loose to depend on Sweden as their direct partner for defense. It really is the elbows up resist hissy fit sh*it the Canadians have been doing. I don't like them one bit.

Israeli pilots didn't seem to have any problems with the F-35.

Probably, but we cant rely and shouldnt rely on other countries for this.

When America First was about the USA, and not our global interests, MAGA felt the same way

A stealth aircraft versus a glorified fourth generation jet. The F-15E is better and the F-35 much better.

F-15 is my favorite fighter of all time. The Vulcan my favorite bomber.

I'll put you in the Canadian column. They are doing this to spite us. If a democrat is elected in 2028 they will be all nice.

NORAD is certainly about America and we are in it with Canada like it or not.

Its a terrible idea in this era to plan on having to depend on Canada going forward.

We dont depend on Canada. We use their help to secure the continent.
