Drumpf Best Not Start Any Wars With Anybody

if he has to rely on this thing.

A highly technical report on the F-35.

The operational suitability of all variants continues to be
less than desired by the Services. Operational and training
units must rely on contractor support and workarounds that
would be challenging to employ during combat operations.
In the past year some metrics of suitability performance have
shown improvement, while others have been flat or declined.

Hey, what's a trillion dollars among contractors, huh?

Drumpf does not have a fucking clue how the military procurement system works.  This is not 1942 anymore where a relatively intact Japanese Zero was found in Alaska and by 1943 squadrons of F6F Hellcats were flying off decks of our carriers specifically designed to outperform the Zero.  The problem with the F-35 is less that it is very expensive but that for that amount of money the fucking thing doesn't work very well.  How would you like to be a pilot who goes to fire a missile and the thing goes "Tilt."  From that report it sounds like a coffin with wings.

Which was my point. The plan is over budget and not performing the way it should. Trump says this, you say this. The world has gone arsy-versy. I don't know what's real anymore...

I was not a fan of the F-35 long before Drumpf ever heard of the fucking thing.  He was too busy getting golden showers from Russian hookers.

Yeah, it's long been known for anemic turn performance, which is a must for any fighter plane. We learnt that in Vietnam with the F-4, and it seems we'll have to relearn it.
