I didn't see the initial RFP, but everybody in Swiss news papers say that it was for an air superiority plane. Added to that, that nobody believes this "it's cheaper to operate" argument, and you wonder what pressure Biden was able to put on the Swiss to impose the F-35. Lucky the F-35 is...

Switzerland is a small, neutral country, surrounded by friendly, well equiped, alllied NATO countries. I really wonder which territory they want to enter stealthily and drop bombs. Austria maybe ?
What a lame choice !

Just looked at the poll at12:40. I know that it is a poll.
Based on 70M voting Republican, that means over 30M people think that this is OK.
The US is not out of the woods by a long way.
That doesn’t justify police killing someone for unlawful entry though. Come on ! Republicans are constantly bragging about their right to shoot intruders and they're pride to carry a gun to protect themselves against thugs. Today they were thugs.

These idiots thought they could do that because they don't like the result of an election ? I'm not sure they will like the 20 next years in a federal prison.
I wonder how this will destroy the GOP. How is it possible that so many GOP members were suddenly turned into anti-democratic conspirationist fools. We can't deny that Trump has this incredible power to spread idiocy wherever he goes.

Jump to postI wonder what charges Trump may face for trying to block the voting system.
I heard that he's goal may be to block the electoral college to avoid the formal election, so he would have one vote per state, and would win. I would call that a coup.
