    We already have some f35s, use those for their advantages. The rest of the fleet should be Grippens.

      No we don’t. We have zero F35s and won’t until 2026 due to continued delays because Lockheed can’t figure out the software for the last 2 years.

      F35 is a fucking lemon. Even the US navy retracted on it.

    How about not putting Canada in a position to be forced to serve American leadership?

    The stealth factor of the f35 is by far the best and the importance of that is massive, when you have the perfect instance of you can see the enemy airplane and hit them but they still can’t see you. But they already have f35s and you don’t need the whole fleet to be stealthy. Having a larger amount of grippens might be better for an operational availability to field more missions at the same time.

      Canada does not have a single F35.

        They already have 16 in the bag, they’re going to be delivered very soon. The only real question is fulfilling the rest of the order.

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
