Many of us are not informed well enough to really understand if the negativity surrounding the F35 is accurate. There’s a lot of technicality and conflicting information and biases that a layperson kinda gets lost in it.

To be honest you paint a compelling picture and I’m inclined to believe it, especially as this has been described as a wasteful failure for quite some time by many sources.

But the neat thing is that now it doesn’t even matter because even if the damn thing was fantastic we don’t want it anyhow. You don’t let your biggest national security threat supply you arms. That’s just stupid.

So yeah you’re probably right. But either way we decline.
