My simple idea is to buy just a few from U.S. to keep DJT tolerable and the rest from Sweden or any other similarly aligned ally.

I'd love it if they'd share the comparisons of our options. Would prefer it if we didn't give the americans billions of dollars for aircraft that they still have control of and that cost 33 thousand an hour to operate. Am beginning to wonder if Elbows Up was just a campaign slogan...

He's using it as leverage to the tariffs...in an ideal 🌎 he'd tell the stench to gfy...but alas we live on an incomprehensible rock in the middle of nowhere

I expect that to be the plug. An extra “fuck you,” for good measure 🤭

by the end of summer we will have a new network of trading partners to help build what will replace the f35s.

No! Get them anywhere else!

Yes, please . . . let be so. Swedish Gripen or Eurofighter!🍁

Canada needs drones, drones and more drones.

Absolutely . . . with OUR steel and aluminum . . . and Canadian brains!🍁

Dear God. We CANNOT trust these aircraft. We need to purchase elsewhere.

With Trump cancelling trade negotiations with Canada, I wonder if the review will be expedited? #elbowsup

Just buy one so we know how it works 👍

flyflicker.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Don't worry. It's not built by Boeing, so parts don't usually fall off. 🤪

graezilla.bsky.social•13 hours ago

They should use them to replace the snowbirds 🤣 that would be a huge flex

We’re stuck with 16 but we can cancel the rest and buy European, preferably with some jobs in Canada as part.

arkangl67.bsky.social•1 day ago

Seems like the orange felon is keen on tearing up agreements. Why should we have to buy 16?
Just tear up that agreement too

fagankara.bsky.social•21 hours ago

We have legally committed the money for those 16 reportedly too late to cancel

This is just it, agreements and contracts such as this are so intricate, we just see the end result. I think he doing this at a very good pace. The end of this summer, not the end of summer 2030.

fagankara.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Agreed. And C5 has royal assent before Canada Day!

graezilla.bsky.social•1 day ago

Wouldn’t trust a thing like that as far as I could throw it.

sammyhamburger.bsky.social•1 day ago

Problem is that some of the Gripens that people seem keen on have GE engines that are built in the states.
It's very hard to cut the u.s. out completely, dammit.

graezilla.bsky.social•1 day ago

We should just buy migs again 🤣
