The F-35 is a poison pill for Canadian defence sovereignty against a hostile America. We cannot win against an invasion, but with the Gripen we can make it a phyrric victory for them.

Yes, because even though America made a shitty fighter jet, it is their best fighter jet, and likely better than your fighter jet(when working), and they will sell it to you because they believe non-Americans can be allies.

China will never ally themselves with anybody else at that level. They are an ethnostate that purges minorities and redraws the borders to capture land from their “allies” like clockwork.

Quip if you must, but know the next hegemon in line will barely tolerate you as a vassal.
