They’re already delivering the A model, so it’s sort of past the point of no return.

It’s too big to fail. Canada’s purchase of 65 is kind of irrelevant compared to the US order of over 2,000. Britain is designing their new carriers around this plane. The US (and most of NATO) requires new 5th generation fighters. The F-22 is no longer in production, and no other real program is an option. Canada will…

What kind of evidence would be enough for you?

Please take 30 seconds to google “F-35 budget” and see what the results are. The F-35 program is a well documented debacle that basically everybody agrees about.

I don’t think he want’s to cut military spending in general, but he has said he wants to reduce the wasted money spent at the DOD. No idea how he plans to do so, but that’s at least his stated intention.

When Tyler Rogoway was writing, this site was known for surprisingly factual and intellectual discussions about military technology and foreign policy.

John Bolton did not suggest Obama was behind a false flag operation. He suggested that the Russians are skilled hackers, and would not leave such an obvious trail, and this could be an attack from another foreign government made to appear to be the Russians. Whether you agree with him or not, it’s disingenuous to put…

I think they must have kept a few flying examples...

The problem is that to lean it out and get it to full production would mean cutting the B model, the STOVL variant. But the B model requirement is arguably what handicapped the design of the A and C models. So if you cut the B model, you get two decent aircraft that could have been much better, and you lose the great…

Nope. Ask the Russians who can’t discuss homosexuality in public. It all depends on what the government defines at hate speech or harmful.

You could plant an oak tree in the actual ground and probably mitigate more CO2 than would ever be possible in car planter boxes. And it would have the benefit of not adding mass to the vehicle, which would improve efficiency, etc. This is basically a terrible idea thought up by some random product designer who has no…

I bet Rinspeed doesn’t even include a hedgehog.

It’s never gonna be classic Top Gear. I’m just glad we still get to watch Clarkson, Hammond, and May.

My team (go Bulldogs) is playing Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl. We were matched with Navy because it was assumed Louisiana Tech and Navy would be more competitive than us against Army. Looks like the current line is +1 LaTech. Our offense is quite prolific, we’ll easily cover that spread.

They are easily the worst national ads of 2016. I think both Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen are hilarious, but I would never touch Bud Light. Most everyone that would be willing to switch to Bud Light could care less who the hell they are. The only target I can think of is underage kids who think Seth and Amy are cool but…

But you’re the closest to the South Pole!

Didn’t sound right to me either, until I looked it up and saw it was over 2,000 miles as the crow flies. So basically Atlanta to LA for an American reference. Most of Australia that is just empty desert.

I R NOT.

ISIS is evil. Republicans have a differing ideology. There is a distinct difference.

This is the most plausible explanation. There is no way the marketing team at Cadillac agreed to seek out the “alt-right” or white supremacists. That would be the most counterproductive ad campaign in history. Possibly even worse than the Seth Rogen/Amy Schumer Bud light commercials that targeted nobody ever.
