She/Her
If you care It’s Agender Woman. As in I don’t believe I have any gender but I prefer to present as feminine and use feminine pronoun.
If you have an article or maybe remember more details about that story?
The closest I could find is this.
Ukraine doesn’t really operate western helicopter in general so the story may have been about something else. We have reports of the Russian using captured American armor vehicles. So no kill switch in those.
Well then they are fucked. Maybe France’s Snecma is an option and the Japanese also have engines. Pretty much everything else is Licensed copy of American engine or Chinese/Russian which are obvious no.
I think turkey was looking into making their own jet engines. But Erdogan Turkey is about as good of an option as trump USA.
Okay so just to clarify what the software lockdown on F-35 means is that other country except the USA aren’t allowed to create update to the software. Exception for Israel and maybe the UK (don’t quote me) are allowed to modify the software themselves.
It doesn’t mean a instant kill switch. But it does mean that if the USA decides to block someone from update it’s much harder for a country to make their own update.
South African authorities said 23 of the Palestinians had traveled onwards to other countries, without naming those countries, but 130 remained and were allowed in after intervention from South Africa’s Ministry of Home Affairs and an offer by an NGO called Gift of the Givers to accommodate them.
“Even though they do not have the necessary documents and papers, these are people from a strife-torn, a war-torn country, and out of compassion, out of empathy, we must receive them and be able to deal with the situation that they are facing,” Ramaphosa said.

I appreciate the suggestion. I have been trying to drag myself to a book-cofee place. Just, it’s taking a lot out of me
This will never be me. And I wake up every day wanting to end it. Because I am incapable of the social labor necessary for a friendship.
Edit: Okay so in insight, this is very depressing even for me. This post as a big impact on me.
Revive the Nike-X you cowards. I want to die from the sonic boom of a missile accelerating to mach 10 in 5s
Evil and intimidating lesbian horse?

Okay but frigates are usually 6th or 5th rate ship of the line tho.
That’s easy, have your bi yearly over fixation on privacy and suddenly you’ll be setting up a custom VPN instead of doing your laundry. Fuck I forgot my bedsheets again
Canada and irc Japan got hit by tariffs or threatened to… I’m realizing with all this will they, won’t they, I don’t know what tariffs ended up in place.
Point is being a close ally isn’t saving you from the look of it.
The UK has nukes. Tho it’s not entirely sovereign as their ballistic submarines use American Trident II missiles. Which are on lease and maintained in the US. Still independent launch, just not long term.

Also they want to purchase F-35A to drop nuclear bombs but that would be Americans B61 and not even on lease. just straight up only work if the US wants to. Also the F-35A can’t be refueled by existing UK tanker aircraft because American jet use boom refueling while everyone else use drogue refueling.
Damn. I got to get on the big boobs donuts grind
Sleep with my phone on my bedside table every day. Almost every morning I look for my phone because I don’t know if I left it on my bedside table or took it with me somewhere else when turning off the alarm. XD
Nooo beans and bell peppers sandwich is forever.
Yes. In so many ways. Just Yesterday I woke up and thought I would pass out. I was wobbly when walking to my fridge to get leftovers. Because I had forgotten to eat over the last… Idk, near 40h
Oh yeah on a larger scale I failed my exams twice because I spent entire days seated in front of my books and doing anything, including world building the pattern in the wall, instead of learning.
Yeah except right now the biggest issue the Bundeswehr faces is equipment and troop readiness. A report came around 2022 and made noise. After a short exercise 18 modern Puma IVF had been out of action for lack of spare parts on relatively minor issues. And that was on the 10th Panzer division which was earmarked for deployment in Lithuania, not a low priority unit.
More bodies are nice for an army. But those come after the infrastructure has been fixed for what already exist
