F-35 pilot held 50-minute airborne conference call with engineers before crash

US can (effectively) shut down F35s remote.y

A scary proposition considering what the US is rapidly becoming

Purchasing 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.

It still did not work, tho.

Yeah and the tariffs are still there anyway so I don't understand why we aren't following suite and cancelling those orders.

You don't have the leverage you think you have.

Yep, 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.

They're betting on things going "back to normal" eventually. They have neither the imagination or courage to think otherwise.

Finland 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.
