When Stalin ruled the soviet union (20 million people is a figure vastly overblown by the way, otherwise USSR would have been depopulated after that and WW2) Soviet citizens actually were armed to the teeth due to a civil war that only ended in in early 1920ies and widespread hunting.
Same in Germany, Hitler came to power in 1933, but his gun control law (which, by the way, was not vectored against ordinary citizens but jews and dissidents) only was introduced in 1938. Funny fact, Hitler's supporters back then in the late 1920ies and early 1930ies were Freikorps- private heavily armed (thanks to very liberal firearm laws in Weimar republic) paramilitary units. With sane gun control laws Hitler never would have been able to seize power. Thank you, gun nuts.
Apparently, it is also possible to grow stuff in greenhouses or to import it from elsewhere. I live in Germany, and, surprise, I still have all of this year round.
British isles are not a desert and they located quite up north compared to California. Also, UK hosts 18 of 25 rainiest cities in Europe. Of course there are no water shortages there.
Strawberries, lettuce and tomatoes can even be grown in Finland (southern Finland has about the same latitude as Anchorage). You don't have to grow all that so far south.
This is open information. You can get it on Wikipedia FFS. Calculate the wing load yourself. The information of speeds reached by other fighters, their wing load, their thrust to weight ratio is also not a secret. Do the math. You'll see F-35 for the lame duck it is.
Insulting other people just because they tell you some facts you don't like is both dickish and makes you look like an idiot.
USA does not export stealthy aircraft. And no, not maneuverable, because its engine - while very powerful - is alone and F-35 is very very heavy. It is even heavier than F-15, which was considered a heavy-weight, thus F-35's thrust-to-weight ratio is not impressive at all (= not maneuverable). Its wing load is also very high (again = not maneuverable). Thrust vectoring would help, but again, no thrust vectoring except for the carrier version.
The video explanation is full of crap, for example the narrator tries to sell that the top speed of Mach 1.6 is somehow an advantage over older fighters (which can reach Mach 2+). I had to facepalm by then and kept it for the rest of the video.
The plane is sweet for Lockheed Martin, sure. And for the kickback receivers.
that "largest manufacturing economy" is not only not correct anymore, it is also somewhat misleading because it defines the size of economy in money. For example, for the price of one F-35 China can build several fighter airplanes, but the size of their manufacturing still will look smaller in comparison. Maybe steel production is better for comparing the manufacturing capacity.
You look at numbers, but don't understand what they mean. For you, very high wages are important because you have to pay into a pension fund, you have to pay for the healthcare, you need to make some savings in case you lose your job, you need to pay off the loans and decent food is expensive. This is why you think that EUR 50k is basically the poverty line. Matter of fact it isn't, not in Germany, because all the things I have mentioned previously are already taken care of. So we pay more in taxes, but far less in everything else. This is why EUR 50k is solid middle class income for a single person in Germany.
Things like "the world is a harsh place" or "life is inherently unfair" are most often said by the very people who actively work at making the world a harsh place.

Gitmo is for "terrorists".

joseon/chosen (when it was part of japan) and daehan jeguk before that.

just for example.

Not really. It isn't that stealthy, it is slow and not very maneuverable.
They can, but they still build F-35 instead.
Why not XT and XTR?

If economists love to say true things, then why does economic fraud not only exist but it is of epidemic proportions?
You have been just as dirty as China for about a century, but with a much smaller population.
Not really difficult, given four times the population and way more sun (the most southern German towns are on the same latitude as Seattle).
If you think that German grammatical gender is complicated, you'll commit suicide trying to understand it in a Slavic language.

Seriously? "that far north"?
New York is the same latitude as Madrid, Naples or Thessaloniki.
Then again, no campus police either.
You mean offense, not defense, right?
If you insist on starting idiotic wars, you can fight them alone.

Or you can do it like Austria.
I see what you did there.
