Diplomat says U.S. fighter jets would enter Canadian airspace more often to address threats

More effort from the Orange Asshole to bully smaller countries like ours. Hold the line. No @#$%ing F-35s ✊. Shrink our relationship and dependence on the US TODAY!

Denmark worries U.S. could ground F-35 fleet

At least one nation is regretting its purchase of F-35s. Denmark has been embroiled in a dispute with the Trump administration over the president’s [illegal, deranged] push to own Greenland. The small European country even deployed those jets to the Arctic island over the threats.

Rasmus Jarlov, head of the Danish parliament's defence committee, has described "second thoughts" over the order, but says the country has little choice now that it is their only operational fighter aircraft.

Jarlov has a message for Canada: "choose another fighter jet."

"They're in for repairs about half the time or even more," he said, "so the Americans have all the power of actually destroying our air force just by shutting down [parts] supplies."

The USA "changes pacts" these days more often than Trump changes his underwear. (I have it on the good authority of pulling it straight out of my ass that he does so weekly, whether they need changing or not.) What the fuck kind of threat is "do what we say or we'll continue doing what we've been doing nonstop for a year"?
