there's a couple of big failures in american defense industry (like shipbuilding) but F35 is not one of them. the alleged killswitch is not likely a thing because first, it could be used by the most probable adversary, and they already shown capability in EW; and second, it's not necessary because it requires constant stream of spare parts and maintenance. as if it's worth it, ask any remaining iranian radar operator for firsthand opinion

some countries switched to euro made jets anyway, but these aren't likely to be doing the job that F35 is cut to do anyway (SEAD)

there's already euro alternative in development, for which americans were explicitly not invited (GCAP, FCAS). there's also the everything else part of military, half of euro countries make now artillery (both tube and rocket) so these can be bought locally too

it's not listed because this is not what is happening

italy for example put bridge construction in that military budget (as critical infrastructure)

also the subtext was "spend that defense budget in america" and this is not happening either for variety of reasons, so it's partial failure already for them

this is about exactly what you can expect from a man whose approach to science is take a phenomenon -> think about it really, really hard -> just know how it works and have an answer (without checking if it's correct or not, he already thinks he figured it out and won't change opinion ever even in the face of contrary evidence)

hyperloop was a fever dream cooked specifically to kill californian high speed rail, so this one worked

ah yes, major effects of crypto: it brought new innovative ways of money laundering, sanctions evasion and ransomware, and chatbots can give you psychosis and/or noninvasive lobotomy

No, fusion research is just paper thin disguise for thermonuclear weapons research, so this will get funding no matter what. I mean here especially things going on in places like Z-machine, Laser Megajoule, NIF and such but not only these
