Indian is a nationality anyway, not a race.

What’s sad is that you confused “development costs” with “new build planes, spare parts, fuel, motor oil, tires, paint, bombs and training for 2,000 supersonic stealth fighter-bombers over a period of fifty years”.

And how badly you are trying to avoid the Chief.

And in the scheme of huge ships, aircraft carriers aren’t even that huge.

The SDB has a CEP (circular error probable, the distance from exact aiming point) of 5-8m. The GAU-8 has a CEP of 40.

The Australians are simply used to their toilet water draining the opposite way down the walls.

What are they complaining about? The toilet’s output goes right into the sailing and swimming venues.

You’d think the mayor would appreciate somebody who didn’t dwell on Rio’s problems.

That would really take some doing - Thatcher was an even bigger asshole than Reagan.

You know that Wales voted for Brexit, right?

Why would Wales leave. If this is to with EU vote you do realize that they voted to leave EU. I see a lot of Americans not understanding this.

Doesn’t work that way in the UK. Trust me, as someone only a few years younger than Clarkson who spent their formative years drinking in places like Doncaster (I lived in Hull, about 30 miles away), Clarkson was not anyone’s idea of a chav.

Are you kidding? He once punched Piers Morgan. He should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom for that. That alone makes him a Great American, even if he’s English.

What matters is not having to tell people: “We’re closing this hospital and these schools. Oh, btw, we’re buying a plethora of cutting edge, grotesquely expensive attack fighters, too.”

The Danes have only 30 operable F-16s at this point... so it is practically like for like.

This is clearly the wrong decision. The F-35 scores extremely poorly in the relevant “Internet armchair generals who read that one article once and likes the jet with the big gun that goes BRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPTTTT” category. Its just science!

Yes, because there are no other fighter manufacturers in NATO.

There is money involved

In hindsight it seems inevitable that a top player in a big sport would eventually come out like this. But still, it's incredibly brave of CR7 to use such a high profile occasion to reveal to the world that in his heart he's a huge Madonna fan.
