America : the #1 hypocrite

Its mouth is full of God and Freedom but while you're not looking, it rifles through your wallet, stalks you through your phone and captures everything you say, all while screeching hysterically when anyone else tries to copy it.

Okay, let's admit for half a second that this data slurp was thought of "with the best of intentions". The fact remains that any country buying this airframe is basically giving Uncle Sam the complete overview of its strike capability. Ally or not, there is zero reason to accept this.

Talk of pulling out is pure bunkum though - posturing by someone who wants to look tough to his political base but doesn't have the balls to go through with it. No pity here.

More and more America is looking like your unwanted neighbor. He's a bully, a pervert and he's armed to the teeth. And you can't move out.
