    why the fuck do they have f-35s?

    the Americans aren’t even giving peripheral NATO countries f-35’s, are they?

    why the fuck are they getting f-35’s?

    even RPing as an american imperialist, I cannot think of a reason other than ‘for the evulz’.

      What do you mean by “peripheral” NATO countries? If you mean NATO countries other than the US, then I can inform you that some do have F-35 jets.

          You did ask a question that I attempted to answer… That does not entail in any way that I did not understand the other stuff you wrote nor that I dismissed it.

            no? like I know France helped design the thing, so obviously they’re getting them, but I know Poland and turkey dont have them yet, and I dont think they’re going to soon.

            the point is theyre not going to the people who serve amrrica’s military interests.

              Poland waiting has little to do with politics and more to do with when contracts were signed. They only signed in 2020.

              Turkey is trying to develop their own 5th generation fighter after getting kicked out of the f35 program due to being a leaky sieve sending data to the Russians. That’s on them.

              By and large, the wait elsewhere is mostly to do with the bad reputation the program got before it was operational. Now that it’s all in the past and it’s proving to be an excellent fighter, contracts with allies are coming in faster than they can be produced. That’s the price of waiting.

                both kind of the point anf completely missing the point;

                there are NATO countries, including those on the border of an ongoing war they expect to join pretty soon, who dont have them. why the fuck are the kapostanis getting them? so they can start world war 3 better?
