DaftyduxI canr even make up corruption this blatant. My imagination is not this stupid.
N0bodyTaking a bribe to let China reverse engineer our next generation fighter jet should be the kind of thing that has consequences. That’s going to cost a lot of lives down the road if things go sideways.
It could cost a lot of American lives. Could also save a bunch of Chinese ones.
It could also cost our lives as a US “ally”. Since they are the only fighter jet my country (Holland) is buying. Since China is a strong supporter of Russia it’s sure that they will get access to any countermeasures as well.
IMO we should sell those things and buy something else like the much cheaper alternatives from Europe.
But my country is also becoming pretty fascist and idealises America so they probably will just cave.
At least there’s still countries like Spain who have already cancelled their F-35 order 👏
