It seems the F35 program is not delivering what was planned (See attached article).

Is this a realistic picture, or is it being overly pessimistic about the F35 Joint Strike program?
Comment please.

F-35 is the biggest money sinkhole ever
GAO says despite hundreds of millions in incentive fees, Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney delivered planes late for years

Tesla’s shares dropped 14% on Thursday in New York, the stock’s biggest decline since March 10, as Elon Musk and Donald Trump feud devolved into a public war. The rout erased about $150 billion from the electric-vehicle maker’s market value

Thread, w obv relevance to the UK. “A new Eur security order is starting to take shape, as Trump is forcing the Eurs’ hand. Inclusion and exclusion in this new security order, as well as possible grey zones, may no longer be delineated by NATO membership, but rather along the borders of the EU.”
With Trump’s trade war threatening to leave Norway in the crossfire of US-EU sanctions, Norway is facing a similar moment of truth about EU membership as Finland and Sweden did with regard to NATO 3 years earlier.
I argue that it’s time to make it official - for a strong Norden in the EU

To join or not to join? Norway is edging closer to the EU
Trump’s trade war has brought Norway even closer to the EU and increased the urgency for it to make a decision about membership.

Very much worth reading, this piece by @catherinedevries.bsky.social. It’s vitally important that politicians start telling Europe’s citizens a coherent story about the challenges they will face as a result of the switch to a war economy.
.@catherinedevries.bsky.social is bang on, e.g.
"Europeans must decide whether they’re willing to bear the costs of shaping their future, or risk having it shaped for them"
This is a must-read.

Now they are quoting Goebbels in the U.S. Congress.
Joseph Goebbels was a literal Nazi and one of Hitler's closest allies.
To my Republican colleagues, it is probably best not to quote him during a congressional hearing.

Bluesky’s ahead, but is X a dead parrot?
Altmetric has been capturing and integrating Bluesky posts since October 2024. What does the data look like now?

@anderspucknielsen.dk taler om Danmark uden NATO. Han ser en EU forsvarsalliance som det mest realistiske. Jeg tænker at vi kan lave noget lagdelt: En superintegreret nordisk forsvarsalliance indenfor en EU alliance. Med Norge og UK som bonus medlemmer.

En nordisk eller europæisk alliance kan komme på tale, hvis USA ikke vil være med mere, siger Anders Puck Nielsen.

Det virker en kende naivt af forsvarsministeren at henvise til et brev, der taler om respekt for dansk suverænitet samme dag som den amerikanske ledelse er i Grønland for netop at lægge pres på Danmark for at afgive suverænitet.

Efter måneders kritik taler USA nu varmt om dansk-amerikansk baseaftale
Ifølge amerikansk udenrigsministerium vil baseaftale med Danmark understrege det »allerede eksisterede samarbejde mellem vores to landes militær«.
