  • It seems like its easier and more straightforward, and profitable, for the state to just take pay to heed the interests of private industry, as opposed to the complex nature of properly managing and answering to the citizenry as a whole, or even feigning interest in their well-being.

    Though it does feel like the founders did get those checks and balances in there (or was that later?) or we’d be more fucked than we already are. And our form of representative republic hasn’t always been beyond salvaging. But since the last corporate buyout and with the propaganda proliferated by the internet I feel hard-pressed to challenge it. What will get us out of this one? Education was always key, and the aristocracy was always going to fuck us on that one.


















  • Additionally, F-16s are good 4th gen fighters, and can still launch standoff weapons with proper setup. Russia really only has 4th gen fighters anyways. Maintaining them is dependent on availability of parts and mechanical skill, which I cannot speak to, but hope it’s included somewhere in the aid packages. They are by no means discards. Speaking from my armchair milsim experience (Arma 3 lol) they are still quite advanced with a substantial weapons loadout capability. And I imagine US aircraft carriers still keep some fa/18s and f16s onboard.
