How does a “6th generation” fighter still have a human inside? What’s so generational about it?


The next generation of bullshit military spending?

A trillion for Afghanistan and F-35 each. Jeez, what could we have built with $2 trillion in investments? What cool companies, technologies or infrastructure could have sprung from this?


As I understand, that $tn for F35 is projected over the entire lifespan of the program, which is decades in the future. Not the sum they spent on development.


Yeah. Half of that is R&D right now. $400 billion to develop and buy the craft.

Then another 0.5-1 trillion dollars over 50 years to keep them flying. An astronomical waste of money.


The kind that would be bombed by China if we would not erase the existence of winnie the pooh.


The amount of bullshit in this post… wow. China doesn’t give a fuck about US mainland.
