Canada too "raising questions" Days into it, accumulating. Note churn about British F35's and even Trident Missiles.

[Tell It Right]

If the concern is this for U.S. made F-35 fighters, shouldn’t this be a concern with all weaponry made from anybody?

[faithhopecharity]

having to ground the planes due to lack of support/spare parts

is also very likely

[MotorCityBuck]

This is great.
We get Canada and GB and Russia can have Europe.😊
World Peace.
Works for me.

[cgbg]

Shall we let them know their planes can be operated by remote control to conduct a mass bombing of Ottawa?

Lol.

Thats 165 million per. Sounds like we aren’t making much on that deal.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

My goodness, Canada is really delusional. The Mouse That Roared. Canada is an American ally. America has no interest in armed conflict with anyone, least of all Canada.

Nice people inhabit Canada, a beautiful country, even is some of them are bonkers liberal.

[Blennos]

exactly what the Trumpists have sown...

Seeing this term leads me to discount the article as leftist propaganda.

[clee1]

Amazing how you are always on someone else’s side....🤔

[rdcbn1]

So if the US and Canada are attacked, our military is going to shut off the Canadian F-35s so they cannot help defend North America? Not getting this .

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“shouldn’t this be a concern with all weaponry made from anybody?”

That’s exactly my first thought, too.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Go ahead and cancel the deal, and rely on your own defense. It’s all aboot self-reliance, isn’t it? Canada has disarmed its citizens and it’s illegal to fart in public. You don’t trust your own citizens enough to fight for you anyway.

[GrumpyOldGuy]

“Trumpists”, lol. Quit reading as soon as I saw that word, I knew that it was not a serious article.

[GOPJ]

They’re having fun taking on the Big Mean Old USA - - it’s good for them. Canadians are our friends - let them enjoy the moment.

And no, we’re NOT going to ‘push any buttons’ - well, not unless they’re attacking us...

[Salman]

If the concern is this for U.S. made F-35 fighters, shouldn’t this be a concern with all weaponry made from anybody?

Yes.

But unsubstantiated stories like this about America made weapons systems go back to the Cold War.

[lodi90]

Newton’s Third Law applies to foreign and trade policies. It’s “delusional” to think otherwise.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The F-35 will be disabled because, if the US ever does invade Canada, no Canadian pilot would get in one to fly up to meet the US invasion force.

[Chickensoup]

Trump supporters take him seriously but not literally.

Trump detractors take him literally but not seriously.

Canadians should watch the whole tape. Trudeau brought up the demise of Canada re tariffs. That’s when Trump facetious said that then Canada could become a 51rst state.

Of course leftists misrepresented the exchange.

Leftists lie.

I should trademark that.

“ Canada has ordered 88 F-35A fighters for $14.5 billion, and now they are really discussing whether the Pentagon can press a special button and turn all those aircraft into scrap metal if necessary.”

This is too funny. These people don’t know the feature/functionality of what they bought. They are clueless and incompetent.
