    It doesn’t need one though and the benefits of having one are massively outweighed by the security vulnerabilities to US operators themselves. Super high tech airplanes like these need constant maintenance and a steady stream of parts. That’s where the real “kill switch” is. If the US wants to use them as leverage, they can turn off the tap for those and the Canadian owned hardware will be inoperable in a few weeks.

      Many citizens are cracked but some of us are just people like any other country’s citizens. Don’t paint with such a broad brush, it’s intellectually dishonest.

        Are you, as an American,really trying to give a lesson in intellectual dishonesty?

        Y’all elected Trump twice. This time with Elon Musk as prime minister. Spare me the theatrics. Go fix your country if you’re as righteous as you claim. That’s what a good citizen would do.

          What would you have us do? The election was rigged, and the rule of law has been completely dismantled. Citizens who disagree are being disappeared by ICE. We’re all broke, and decades of union-busting means we have no power in the workplace. People are protesting despite it all. Loudly. Our media just isn’t covering it.

          And need I remind you, until trump started waving his dick around, you very nearly had your own maple-flavored fascism. And may yet. Except you already gave up your right to bear arms, so you can’t even fight back when it happens.

            Did you actually just try to dunk on us about right to bear arms after whining about how you can’t even protest? Fuck. You are so American. 🤡

            What would you have us do?

            I’d have you start with humility.

            You ALL NEED IT, as you are a nation utterly bereft of shame as has been demonstrated again and again.

              Last I checked there are about 107 million americans bearing arms right now. Sorry we haven’t started a civil war soon enough for you.

                The very least any of you could do is actually get off your asses and PROTEST. Apparently this is too hard for you, let alone suggest y’all exercise your beloved second amendment that y’all LOVE to brag about.

                Forgive me, my dude. I apparently just don’t understand the concept of American freedom.
