Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Here's the problem. This isn't just an F35 problem.
It applies to basically all the CAF's higher end capabilities.
Focusing on the F35 is akin to stressing about one symptom, rather than the underlying condition.

Ultimately I feel like no amount of operational excellence matters if the people who control the software and access to the spare parts can't be trusted.
Is the control the US will retain over these planes as significant as it's been portrayed to be?

No Canadian government body/agency/crown corp of any sort should be using X, any more than they should be using Truth Social. Rip off the band-aid, get it done.
Premier Susan Holt on the N.B. government's decision to abandon X: "We've just seen that it used to be a forum for more dialogue and we used to see better engagement and back and forth with New Brunswickers on the platform. But that doesn't seem to be the case anymore."

This is extremely noticeable in Canada. US media is bizarro land.
"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social
