    • But this decision to give Boeing the contract directly is basically called corruption.
      ********
    • Also $20B is not enough, when the F-35 platform costs were something like $2T

      Trillions!

    • Bonus: everybody worldwide will just cancel the F-35 contracts, as it's made obsolete.
