    No reason to worry, it will do precisely what it is supposed to do - transfer few trillion of tax dollars into MIC pockets.

    We need a term for vaporware military equipment, because by the time this plane is “ready” the US will have collapsed.

        Well, most wunderwaffe we know about at least got a few units made, but I suppose it’s the best term here too.

    How can you be so incompetent that your military equipment requires trade with the country you’re most concerned about military conflict with? Top example of how the short-term, profits-only thinking that is inherent to capitalism actively undermines itself.

    Why do you think the US wants Greenland, and has already signed deals with mining conglomerates there for rare earths for the US Department of Defence, preventing a Chinese buyout of these mines in the process?
