This is just robbery, we weren’t able to make our schedule and modified the price. “$27.7 billion in cost – up from its initial $19 billion.”
Yet expect them to just give us $7 billion dollars because we failed to meet the contract?
Duh. That’s how extortion works.
You think the mob ever delivered anything on time and under budget?
Now I want a short story where the Mob accidentally hires the most effective project manager ever
There’s actually an anime where a corporate worker gets summoned into another world because they need him to use his efficiency to get their shit together.
It’s called “Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!”, and it’s pretty good.
This is how the mafia works. Its the only business trump knows.
“Give us money or we will attack you” is generally not something you say to an ally you want to keep. Trump is literally insane, trying to start WW3.
That’s technically a declaration of war, right?
NORAD already has shared skies provisions. US jets can fly into our airspace as needed to intercept foreign attackers. We can do the same with them.
None of this constitutes a threat, despite Hoekstra’s weird, fumbling attempt to deliver it like one.
He basically said “If you don’t give us your business, we’ll have no choice but to protect your airspace even harder!” Oh, wow, scary. No, please, don’t do that.
Call his bluff.
What
Buy our fighters jets or we invade with fighter jets ?
What absolute fuck is wrong with this country
I was walking past the 7-11 the other day and the manager came out and forced me to buy a slurpee by gunpoint. USA! USA! /s
He said if I didn’t, he’d forcefeed a slurpee down my throat, at his expense.
Basically: you are getting those F-35’s whether you want them or not.
I hate this timeline, but that’s funny
Fuck you, Taco!
Thanks for this. Was scrolling through the comments looking for a reply I could get behind.
Whatever it takes to distract from the Epstein files sir!
What are they going to do in Canadian airspace? like… fly around? Can they do some tricks? Arent those jets mega expsnive to maintain and fly, and they are going to burn dollars by flying them around?
Pretty weird behavior for an ally’s airspace, but OK, whatever.
Canada might think about halting lumber and oil shipments if they are too distracted by fighter jet noise to make work productivity goals. Those jets are loud and annoying. What then? Seems like trump will chicken out and walk back his childishness like he always does.
Only winner here is Putin, same as always. What a coincidence.
what’s a little extortion among friends.
Still think he’s sane?
Lol, F-35s are in maintenance most of the time, we can use our new made in Canada gripens to patrol the sky while the F-35s wait for parts on the unreliable piece of shit. They can only fly 50% of the time, lol.
The future is electronics warfare packages, not stealth.
