There might also have been some exploration of the word Explode in the headline. We all know that Trump is prone to temper tantrums - he may need more nap time - but I could not help thinking of the late Mr Creosote.

Uncle Sam tells F-35B allies they'll have to fly the things a lot more if they want to help out around South China Sea
Re: !!!
The F-35 was designed to transfer money from the US (and foreign) governments to Lockheed Martin and it is doing that very well.
The secondary task - being a viable military aircraft - is rather harder especially as it is crippled by stealth technology which several Russian radar systems can circumvent. That's not going to stop the really important payment of bonuses to the LM execs. Tough on the aircrew and those they support.

Re: Hot desking
Management will take credit for the cash savings implied in hot desking but the less-easily measured costs are hand-waved away.

Priority bollocking
In the early '80s I trained to join a TA observer regiment that had an unspoken rule: don't bother reporting anything smaller than a division in wartime. The Yeoman of Signals explained that we were free to classify our encrypted signals (still using paper one-time pads) as we saw fit (up to Flash - Top Secret): there were special handling procedures for this sort of message. But, he explained, "if you abuse the system you can expect to be bollocked in person by a general".
