- beezle 1y agoThe Vermont Air Guard has flown a contingent of 20 F-35s since 2020 without (so far) incident. https://www.158fw.ang.af.mil/ https://www.158fw.ang.af.mil/
- tokai 1y agoNot when the Danish Airforce use F35s.
- nicce 1y agoOr Finland…
- Temporary_31337 1y agoUS can (effectively) shut down F35s remote.y
- rokkamokka 1y agoA scary proposition considering what the US is rapidly becoming
- greenavocado 1y agoPurchasing F35s is paying tribute to the empire so it doesn't come down on you harder with tariffs and compliance burdens. It's not meant to actually be useful.
- owebmaster 1y agoIt still did not work, tho.
- greenavocado 1y agoIt did, they could have ended up like the Swiss
- brazukadev 1y agoWhat bad happened to the Swiss?
- greenavocado 1y agoSome of the worst US tariffs on Earth
- guappa 1y agoYeah and the tariffs are still there anyway so I don't understand why we aren't following suite and cancelling those orders.
- ahmeneeroe-v2 1y agoYou don't have the leverage you think you have.
- RankingMember 1y agoYep, anyone paying billions in what is effectively tribute to this admin is only playing themselves considering the stable genius seems to flip the game board every 5 minutes.
- vintermann 1y agoThey're betting on things going "back to normal" eventually. They have neither the imagination or courage to think otherwise. If it does, the new president/ruling party will probably look favorably on those who respected the crown even when they hated the guy who wore it. Because that's how the normal is.
- nicce 1y agoFinland just joined NATO, which means that they lost their neutrality and independency for foreign politics. It is now very difficult to do something completely different or unfrienly than the U.S. because of that one country with shared border. If the U.S really takes more steps towards taking Greenland and works against NATO ally, then it might be very complicated situation for both Denmark and Finland, and the whole alliance. But until then Finland at least is stuck with the U.S.
- louthy 1y agoWhich still makes Greenland safe. If neither side can get off the ground or convince their planes that they're in the air.
- tokai 1y agoYou understand that the Danish Airforce is Greenland's Airforce right? The Danish military is the official military of Greenland with an explicit agreement between the home rule parliament and the Danish Defence. Other than that all Greenlanders are danish citizens and are the danish state is obligated to defend them.
- nicce 1y agoI guess the point was that planes are similarly useless/useful in both sides.
- the_real_cher 1y agoThe US is the most powerful 3 season military in the world.
