Seeing that guy in flip flops gives me the willies.
Yep. I haven't been to the US for years and even after Trump is gone I doubt I'll ever go again. Honestly, I've been wary of Americans for most of my life, and this is speaking (typing) as someone who has relatives there. That whole country always seemed a bit ... off ... to me. I never felt comfortable there when I was there on vacation, with my family, or on business.
Does the plan involve a strongly worded letter?
The US is no longer a reliable partner. With everything they've done over the last year why should we trust them with this deal? That they won't change it or put restrictions, or exit tariffs on any of this? How do we know there won't be spyware in the jets operating system, or a kill switch, or an override routine?
Choose the vendor who is willing to work with us. Saab is willing to give us the source code for the jets operating system. They're willing to manufacture the jets in Canada.
The US will keep their operating system and be able to modify it with impunity. 'Did your plane fall out of the sky? Our bad. Our latest patch had a bug and we didn't find it until it was too late.'
Smart choice and the (not so) subtle jab at Tesla is an added bonus.
Or become president and pardon them all. Wait. Didn't that already happen?
Is he just writing off the astronomical debt (pun intended) from xAI and X with this move?
In other news, Water; wet.
I'm a bit outraged at the obviousness of this finding but I understand the necessity to have a document of it so that (eventually) someone will be punished. 🤞

This is the MO of the US Republicans for the last several decades.
