Political impacts of Ukraine war

[quadrapiper]

No, but I could probably get you Chrétien as a Plan B?

Who appears to be in full possession of his faculties, unlike other politicians of a certain age.

or they will take the restrictions off

So if the US gets out, is Europe going to take up the slack to support Ukraine to indefinitely fight a war at a level that ensures it can never actually win it?

Nothing wrong with taking it at face value. I didn’t code it, but it has been known to be done in other cases, so the F-35 absolutely makes sense to be thusly equipped.

I threw the conjecture qualifier in there since I did not do any programming myself in the first person.

I will wager that the Israeli a/c have had those bits removed. I don't see them as putting themselves in any position where someone can say you can't

Chances are some Israeli tech firm wrote the code in the first place....

And despite the claims "the CIA are everywhere" it is really Mossad that is everywhere.

Way to go Team Canada!

Maybe Premier Trump of Canada's 4th Territory would like to come up for a visit...

Even better that they won it in the USA...

You and I would be on the same side of the wager.

…a large portion thereof.

The Israelis can push you out an upgrade… They have overridden all of the lock codes on every item so far.

It’s software, so there are a number of way around lock outs.

It’s all LocMart Missions Systems stuff.
Same way they can lock HIMARS and MLRS into short range only missions.

DoD doesn’t have the tech package for the F-35, so all the software upgrades (or downgrades) is still run by LocMart pushed out by LocMart employees who are onsite contractors.

I don’t think anyone does data penetration as well as the Israelis. Hell, even just down to our level the gold standard for digital device acquisition aoftware is Israeli. And at the edge of my knowledge, a lot of other much squirrelier shit is too. And that’s what they’re willing to share.

I suspect that LMI has a piece of the larger Mission Systems action and local subcontractors…
