      The planning and tender process? As a Canadian, I'm shocked they can do it so fast. Our F-35 procurement process started in 1997 with the program itself. In 2010 we announced plans to purchase. In 2015, current PM Justin Trudeau ran his election on a platform promising not to buy the F-35, by which time we'd already spent $309M USD on the program.
      Promises were made in 2016 to hold a competition and exclude the F-35, and to buy F/A-18 Super Hornets as interim solution. In 2017, the Super Hornets were cancelled.
      Formal competition started in 2019. In 2022, the results were in and the winner was ... the F-35. First deliveries will start in 2026.

    Fortunately this is only satire and bears no resemblance to real world reality.

    This is totally unrealistic, will have to go back to the drawing board. The BMW is using their blinker.

    there certainly is a fine line between stupid and clever completely lost on our governmetn plebs which is why this is both funny and depressing...The elevator bike scene where he get called "agressive" for slightly raising his voice has been played out on myself. An adult telling another adult to calm down for injecting any emotion into his words would get you laughed out of the room anywhere else but not in the HR policed environment.

    Trading partner one is misleading. Even if China is the number one trading partner, you don’t want it to take over the routes and be the only trading partner US can really on, that could become a military threat.
