With your experience, what is your assessment of the F-35B Lightning II?
1. Insist that all of Europe is all in supporting Ukraine for all they're worth before we pony up another farthing. (The Ukraine war being a European war that affects Europeans in Europe being the reason.)
2. Insist that a thorough, comprehensive, and 100% public audit be performed on each and every item and dollar that we've given them, so far. And, if there is any (any) corruption or shady bookkeeping, deal's off.
Easy breezy.
Like a high end BMW, if you can afford to support its operation. That means 90 man hours plus per flight hour, loads of ground support equipment, containers full of spare parts…
You have a point.
