Again? A fighter jet falls off U.S. aircraft carrier, days after another fell off the same one : world

Or some scheming vice admiral with designs on world domination keeps claiming that fighter jets are falling off his aircraft carriers, to cover up the fact he's secretly smuggling them to the subterranean hangar under his island volcano lair...

Is there a giant cat involved?

The tying-the-planes-down intern is having a bad week.

Something's off. They could be trying to hide the fact they got downed by the enemy.

It is not going to hurt our military. They will cut funding to everything else to cover the loss and replace it.

“$50M to replace your lost plane? Well just cut $100M from children wellness initiatives. Now you can have $150M and buy three replacements!”

Well kinda hard to stop gearing up when your geopolitical advertiseries are gearing up tbh

Time to reduce the empire was when USSR fell but boomers squandered that and then got into wars which resulted in US losing hegemony. So I really don't see how US will be reducing military under current conditions.

Gonna be another reshuffle war.

With that being said, US wastes resources on helping do the genocide so clearly these clowns ain't only thinking about US geological position.
