The good thing, it is not only Usa who produces the F-35, even Norway contributes with technology, parts and weapon systems, as well financially contributing. 

Yes, many countries do.

But main maintenance has to be done in the US

Farang Mule accounts?......A Mules azz......

 

The huge a vast majority of mule accounts involved in scams that make the news, are opened by Thais for Thai scammers or opened by Thais for the Chinese or some other foreigners scammers....

 

I cant recall the last time I heard of a farang opening a mule account in their own name for the purpose of running a scam.....Its so rare it almost does not happen..
 

Even though about 99% of the mule account scams involve Thais.......Lets crack down on the farangs.........lol

 

So in truth the purpose of all this has almost zero to do with finding or stopping the real mule account openers...

Don't confuse foreigners as mentioned in the article with farang as you mention.

That's true for every country in The alliance, so thanks to Trump, we waiting money on speed to show we do something in panick.

 

I hope to get completely off the hook from Usa.

 

Buy chineese jets if we have to (joke, sarcasm)

 

Europeans afraid Trump will turn off our jets now, if we do not follow his orders.

 

With heightened tensions between Europe and the United States over NATO and Ukraine, the myth of an F-35 “kill switch”, which would supposedly allow the Pentagon to disable foreign-operated F-35s, is fueling speculation and debate

It's not so much a kill switch that I'm worried about, but future maintenance could be an issue. 

Don't make yourself dependent on an unreliable partner.

If the rumour is true then it should be fairly easy for someone to produce evidence of the application?  

No, of course not.

Your link has no source. It is hearsay. The has been no such statement from GHF as much as you wish there were. 
 

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says it is continuing to hand out aid packages to Palestinians at two distribution centers in southern Gaza today, without any incidents.

This comes following an update attributed to GHF which was carried by major news outlets claiming that aid distribution was halted due to disorder.

At the two aid sites, some 14,550 food boxes were distributed so far, GHF says.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) says it continues its operations today, distributing aid without incident in both sites that opened yesterday. "Across the two sites, approximately 14,550 food boxes have been distributed so far.  Each box feeds 5.5 people for 3.5 days, totaling 840,262 meals," GHF said.

 

 

I wish aid to succeed, in spite of your smear. Let's hope it continues and grows.

Can you not see the evidence in the videos. It’s a US led initiative. They do not have Israelis in the compound, they are outside. Inside they have US contractors. Who do you think took the videos and numerous pics of both the the chaos and the orderly queues thanking the US contractors?

 

why would you not trust Israeli sources anyway? Which UN official was caught blatantly lying a few days ago? Do you need reminding?

Unfortunately the success some are claiming is contradicted by the postponement of new aid.

There are four distribution points, that incident happened in the one at Rafah where even Hamas set up roadblocks to try and stop people getting to it. Didn't work, did it............

 

Here's some more:

 

While pro-Palestinian activists scramble to discredit the new system, the people of Gaza are embracing it.

 

That maybe the reports from Israeli sources. Independent western sources indicate it vastly different. Let's hope it improves the upcoming days.

To be fair, Corporal Vance made a pretty good fist of standing to attention, saluting, properly attired. Colonel Hegseth, in his shrunken trousers, not so good. He needs someone how to pick a correct fitting suit when buying from JG Penneys. The President, hamfisted.

That's missing the point of social security.

They shouldn't have announced this but just done the job. 

Poor execution, as was predicted by the aid organisations. Several sources,

I think the taxis are not offering tours but are offering to drive people to these palces where they may or may not have a connection with a tour guide.

Offering taxi services that's called.

Certainly you must realize Wikipedia is not a reliable source for anything.

 

I'm not sure what your game is, other than to be another part of the propaganda machine. 

 

It doesn't matter I guess. You're doing your job.  Just realize, not everyone is stupid. 

Wikipedia is a much more reliable source than your opinions.

Except you're wrong, as the CDC chart for 2025 below shows:

 

 

At least 67% of the reported COVID deaths in the U.S. thus far this year had COVID as the underlying [main] cause. Only the remaining one-third had COVID as a contributing cause.

 

But hey, keep making up stuff as you go along...

Thousands of Israelis have joined a state-funded march through the Muslim quarter of the Old City in Jerusalem, where large groups chanted racist slogans including “Gaza is ours”, “death to the Arabs” and “may their villages burn”.

The march has been marred by racism and attacks on Palestinians for years, and is preceded by a campaign of violence in the Old City that in effect shuts down Palestinian majority areas, particularly in the Muslim Quarter.

From before midday on Monday small groups of young Israeli men attacked and harassed shopkeepers and passers-by inside the city, spitting at women in hijabs, stealing from cafes, ransacking a bookshop and entering at least one home by force.

There were also quite a few moderate Israeli, who tried to intervene and protect the Palestinians, attacked by these extremists.

I have zero interest in hearing about the covid scam any longer. Not sure why you are so highly obsessed with it though.

Are you of ill health, in the vulnerable bracket?

Seems to be all you ever post about, and masked dog in your profile, fortunately I only started posting here after covid. I dread to think of the absolute panic that went on here.

You don't want to hear about it, but writing about it is still ok?
