I'd be hoping that Trump's time in power would be far outlived by the F-35 program and would be only a footnote in the history of friendship between Canada and the US. But nobody who knows what the future has in reserve.

Significantly. The F-35 programme is a 50-year one. Trump won’t even be alive in half that.

These are numbers from 2016. Is there any place where we can read these contracts? Maybe with the current situation, conditions are changing. Hopefully, people put a clause in case of animosity between countries.
@avidamoeba cheap. Talk with Europe.
Yeah Europe should also cancel, the Saabs are excellent while the F35 always has had… issues, and we also got the inferior version too.
@nightwatch_admin you must make it at home, at scale, without reliance on enemies or potential enemies. It’s a reasonably simple matrix to optimise. Eurofighter and Saab, new Euro. Make Australia and Canada and New Zealand and UK demonstrate their commitment to a rules base world.

it's a geostrategic steal compared to staying entrenched! I hope #auspol is listening.
@adamsteer @avidamoeba time to put a proper moat around “EURO interoperability” interoperability with USA is a trap
@adamsteer @avidamoeba USA are gone from NATO, stand up, dig in. Is it the easy road? NO! Do you want a future where you steal a toilet for your home town? That’s where you’re headed, Russia
Yes please. So clearly the right move.
