Modern F-35 bought by Poland. Good decision? [288]
F-35s stealth capabilities will allow them to conduct such strike undetected.
No doubt. It's what's going to happen in the next hour that you should think about really hard.
Torq, you are a nice guy so I will skip my usual nasty kind of sarcasm.
I know the US, the swamp and the corruption. It is worse than even the Americans could dream up, so you are excused.
With the probability approaching 100%, this is what happened. The swamp either did some arm twisting, bribing or both to make Poland buy those F's. They did this to make money, and to deflect any criticism from the real conservatives like me that the US is getting entangled in another zone where the American interests are none.
With that purchase, their line is: See, Poland buying our planes is good for the US economy and keeps the US safe. Or at least safer. This last bs came up lately when Ukraine was the subject during the impeachment in this manner: Ukraine is vital to the US security.
No, I am not making this sh*it up. Sending boatloads of money to China is not that important but arming Ukraine or delaying the delivery of 400 million bucks to it by a week is an existential threat to the United States. Sure. That was sarcasm. Sorry.
Bottom line: when dealing with US swamp, always follow the money.
