Mind bending. Australia is caught up in this freak show, too. It’s costing tens of billions more than originally pitched, but as this vid shows, you can’t get out of it.

We’ve known this for many years, if not decades. It’s the poster boy for final stage crony capitalism. Imagine these workers and this capital invested in high speed rail or other efforts to actually improve quality of life for North Americans and beyond.

I’m surprised as to how easy it is to get information on spending this egregious. I would think that the powers that be who are watching their people suffer and die due to underfunded social programs would be a touch less bold about spending such as this.

DARPA, the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has released a report questioning whether stealth has run its course and if such monolithic programmes are undermining America’s military effectiveness. The report notes the advances America’s adversaries, China and Russia, have made in developing counter-stealth. The report also questions the utility of America’s historic doctrine of air superiority and contends that there are better ways of power projection.
The F-35 is a hopelessly flawed vehicle. For example, the SAAG Grippen can generate two sorties per day. The F-35 is lucky to fly one mission every other day. That’s a 4:1 ratio in favour of the far less costly Swedish fighter.
