Lmao, didn't they just sort of get the F35 to sometimes work and now it's getting mothballed after like a trillion dollars in funding for over a decade?

They spent so long fucking around with this trash jet that is was obsolete by the time they started using it.

Meanwhile China just pulls fucking 6th gen jets out of nowhere. The US spend a decade talking up the 35 and then China just shits on it and doesn't even say anything.

Yeah, but can you think of a better way to siphon over a trillion in taxes out of the public system and back into the pockets of the oligarchs.
