So if they don't buy any we're just gonna give them out free? That's dumb.

This is just robbery, we weren't able to make our schedule and modified the price. "$27.7 billion in cost – up from its initial $19 billion."

Yet expect them to just give us $7 billion dollars because we failed to meet the contract?

"Buy or weapons or else..." Maybe we should look for a more reliable supplier and close our airspace to their jet fighters.

“Give us money or we will attack you” is generally not something you say to an ally you want to keep. Trump is literally insane, trying to start WW3.

Everybody calm down. USA and Canada have an agreement allowing them to enter each other's air space. They said that if Canada doesn't buy enough F-35s USA will have to send more jests into Canada's airspace to fill in the gaps. That's it. It's not "buy our jets or we will invade you". It's "if Canada doesn't buy F-35 we will have to do more work in our agreement".

That’s technically a declaration of war, right?

Call his bluff.

It's kinda loud in here, did the headline say 'piece of shit fuckface Trump gives Canada reason #563 to stop trading with the US and increase trade with Europe, China, etc'?

What

Buy our fighters jets or we invade with fighter jets ?

What absolute fuck is wrong with this country

Canada could do something really funny and start buying chinese anti-aircraft missiles.

I was walking past the 7-11 the other day and the manager came out and forced me to buy a slurpee by gunpoint. USA! USA! /s

Buy our fighter jets or we'll send you fighter jets

Basically: you are getting those F-35's whether you want them or not.

You know, like you do to allies when the commander in chief isn't a Russian asset.

Whatever it takes to distract from the Epstein files sir!

I mean it's always been like this basically.
But less publicly

Fuck you, Taco!

Canada would be dumb to go forward, everyone knows the US has kill switches in their gear and now might hostilely engage canada, perhaps to steal territory, and otherwise has talked of invading other nato countries like in Greenland.

In which case the US could brick all of the gear they sold them. It's already bad enough, Canada has to buy from EADS or whomever builds their air forces, I would not trust the UK either at this point, they are properfucked by their own neoliberal type politicians in labour, that have done more damage than the tories the past couple of years..

To do what? Fly around, wasting tax payer money?

wut.

If you don’t buy from me, I’ll bomb you.

What are they going to do in Canadian airspace? like.. fly around? Can they do some tricks? Arent those jets mega expsnive to maintain and fly, and they are going to burn dollars by flying them around?

Pretty weird behavior for an ally's airspace, but OK, whatever.

Canada might think about halting lumber and oil shipments if they are too distracted by fighter jet noise to make work productivity goals. Those jets are loud and annoying. What then? Seems like trump will chicken out and walk back his childishness like he always does.

Only winner here is Putin, same as always. What a coincidence.

This will be a devastating air campaign for the US, many F35s will be lost to mechanical and software failures and it isn't our fault it is totally Canada's fault if that happens because if they had bought our jets we wouldn't of had to break them by trying to use them as airplanes.

Still think he's sane?
