The identity of this FMS customer buying this ‘tailored JSF variant,’ could be the matter of much speculation. Currently, barring Israel, all other JSF customers receive the standard variants. so, yeah, just speculation. And there's nothing to suggest that it is advanced electronics which will be stripped out.

While money may change hands for introductory services, mail order brides have long been illegal in the Philippines and the suggestion that a woman can be "bought" is ridiculous. Many men who have brought Filipina and Thai wives to Australia unless less than ideal circumstances have learned that lesson the hard way.

Both are very much defensive. Only nuclear submarines are really offensive. Diesel submarines hunt ships and others subs. F-35s typically kill over 20 adversary aircraft for every friendly loss in exercises aimed at honing pilot skills. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lorenthompson/2019/05/13/how-a-super-agile-electronic-warfare-system-makes-f-35-the-most-invincible-combat-aircraft-ever/?sh=48c80d114382

I have a friend from NZ (now 78) who had the polio vaccine as a kid and spent weeks in a polio hospital partially paralysed. he recovered completely but says he'll never forget the horror of so many kids in iron lungs. Vaccines are a great invention, shame about the unfounded anti vax zealotry. My mum (now 93) actually got polio as a kid. Her grandmother forced marched her in the forests of Victoria for months and she made a full recovery. More recently, she was a bit skeptical of the covid vaccines but I kept reminding her of her experience with polio, she relented and is now fully vaxxed.

and 38 Australians. Maybe we should send all our useless Leopard tanks to Ukraine. They based them in Darwin for a while but it was too hot and the aircon systems couldn't handle the heat. -

It's very much the posting style and trademark of Russian astroturfers. The same style was very common in posts on The Guardian around 2015. -

Could you please try to use shorter words? I didn't realise that my English was so poor. I am however, fairly interested in myself. -
Our cities are too far apart and our population too low to make high speed trains viable. In Japan they have intermediate cities which make them much more viable. The NBN is world class. Just last night I was helping a client in the US who has only DSL. We don't build cars because our govt. wouldn't keep pouring money into our foreign owned car manufacturers because our population is too low to make such manufacturing viable in Australia. We've been blessed with a government for ages which is only interested in handling out subsidies to the fossil fuel companies which donate to its candidates. The autobahns in Germany are how long and support how many people? Plus they large cities in between, same story as the railway. Our roads are really very good in the main.
