After seeing this, do you really think the V-22 will be canceled? Do you think that a leading Republican Senator that championed killing the F-22 will suddenly switch and revive it? Our friends from across the sea (includes ex-pats) have alot to learn about the current political environment.
While you cling on to your weapons, gears and petty politics, look across THE OTHER ocean where the Titan rises.
ReplyDeleteF-22, V-22 and courting this or that senator - with years of political paralysis and downward spiral ahead, i call them self-delusion. Pacifiers.
Where will your country stand geopolitically, economically and militarily in 10 years? Some AMERICAN analysts predict: an afterthought. Pity.
"cling on to your weapons..."
ReplyDeletei've heard that before and since that phrase indicates your political leanings, i recommend you carry your sorry ass elsewhere.
