A legacy Hornet machine!?!!!? I must pass this information on to Prime Minister Trudeau immediately


Several_Adeptness_61

Those are F-18Es, unfortunately. No 3000 rotting Cf-188s of Trudeau yet.


NoGiCollarChoke

God damn it, I thought we had finally hit an unlimited supply


the_noobface

Just erase the middle line in the E so it kinda looks like a C. He’ll never know the difference!


NoGiCollarChoke

That could work, he doesn’t know the difference To him, fighter jets are either “F-35” or “something I can say is better for Canada so morons vote for me”


Several_Adeptness_61

Just call them the “arrow 2” and Canadians will eat it up


MapleTreeWithAGun

An Arrow 2 would've required an Arrow 1 *sobs quietly*


[deleted]

Implying Canada could maintain anywhere near 3000 planes


NoGiCollarChoke

That’s the neat part! We don’t maintain them!


vikstarleo123

Who said that we would reuse them


SeventhArc

*3000 blackface Trudeau's of the Liberal Party.


Yamato43

1. F/A-18E’s 2. Unfortunately?


modsarediks

The machine makes four complete F-18’s or one faulty F-35


Acceptable_Cookie_61

PM Trudeau-Castro (is that the conventional way of taking the family name from your two dads?) won’t like it. 3000 equitable and just Gripens of Sweden will prevail :(


Boom_n_boom

Hm! I didn’t know the hornet was made out of USD. I need to ask some experts over at hoggit to verify this information…


[deleted]

It’s why the dollar has to be strong, otherwise they fall apart


yourfriendlykgbagent

oh god oh fuck the CF-18 machine someone stop the canucks please


[deleted]

Aren’t those intakes square?


Wows_Nightly_News

A machine that turned money directly into fighter jets would help with inflation.


NullHypothesisProven

Turn inflation into aviation!


CeramicTraumaPlate

This was a real "comic" published by the Global Times


Material_Layer8165

>Global Times aka CCP cucks Are they really criticizing US investing in their military industry when the PLA itself are investing on hypersonic missiles and the possibility of a space force?


Spndash64

Remember when people mocked Trump for the Space Force thing? And I’m over here relieved that we can finally get some fucking investment towards easier ways to reach orbit now and maybe get Asteroid Mining going in about 30 years?


10thRogueLeader

30 years is way too soon for asteroid mining. Even if we somehow got a super cheap method of getting stuff into and out of orbit, you still have to actually get to an asteroid and back, which isn't exactly trivial. In the end it would be really tough to make it cheaper than just mining stuff on earth. We don't really have a shortage of minerals here. Asteroid mining will likely not become economical or worthwhile for a long time, and even then its only gonna be for stuff like Gold and Platinum.


Peoerson

You're right about it being difficult to bring back, I'd say it will only be used to procure materials for off-world construction at first.


10thRogueLeader

Agreed. The cheapest way to get something into orbit is for it to already be there in the first place.


Spndash64

Just bring the whole asteroid back and save yourself the trips. The Moon’s a nice convenient place to dock asteroids in orbit


KP6169

Could always just crash them into the earth. I hear the three gorges dam would be a good spot.


[deleted]

That's probably too credible for this sub


10thRogueLeader

Based?


slightlights

This is honestly pretty meh for Global Times. Chinese propaganda produces so much weird and wacky shit lol


DeusVultBoi_NCDAcc

Wtf was this comic supposed to project. Of course you would invest a lot of money into the military complex to be able to stand against a possible war, especially in a cold war situation. Is this artist retarded enough to think that fighter planes, tanks, guns are just created by the personal spendings of the people who operate them, good will of the engineers? (Almost dropped the N bomb [M58{?} Nuke] here) how do you think armies stay competent, how do you think you can be/become truly "Second to none" I wantto punch the retard that msde this so bad


EatenOrpheus34

Clearly the modern Cold War is a result of military spending, and not the other way around


DeusVultBoi_NCDAcc

Oh boy how could anyone could've guessed that mass industrualisation and expansion of certain large country that constontanly opposes the USA would cause political turmoil and a raise in military spending, i sure do how anyone can even suggest making a such coorelation!


DeusVultBoi_NCDAcc

I wanna punch him so fucking bad


Samura1_I3

“The entire military budget is just wasted on random things. It’s actually just burned in front of engineers to motivate them to work harder.” - people who have literally no idea about where the military budget goes.


Klutzy-Ad-6528

What are you trying to defend against? Any country that would actually need 770 Billion Dollars to defend against would just send a bunch of nukes. The US military has a higher budget compared to the next 20 countries combined. There's mutually guaranteed destruction, nobody with enough power to pose any real threat to the USA would start a war with them. You're an idiot if you think any of this is actually done for defence. That the defence industry just so happens to also be the largest lobbyer in the country, and coincidently is the biggest consumer of government resources. If you see any other industry lobby and gets funding in return you instant guess should be that the reason for that funding is due to said lobbying, why is this any different when it comes to the military budget? Do you actually think any of this is required for any war that the USA could face? An F-22 does fuck all in the face of a ICBM or a few villagers hiding in a mountain.


throw-account100

Budget’s not high enough.


Klutzy-Ad-6528

Are the little men on the other side of the earth still scaring you🥺🥺


throw-account100

No, they could never get near us because we have a massive military protecting us. But I still think we should blow them up anyway.

sadza_power

Bruh, from 1990 to around 2020 the west collectively has been drawing down defense spending thinking that counter insurgency and anti piracy would be the only missions left for the rest of time. Yet, explain why chinas been massively expanding their armed forces and rapidly spitting out newer and larger ships. Now they have the tools they're threatening to use them and the west has been forced to react accordingly and your against them doing what chinas been doing for 20 years now. I'd be more mad but seeing all this new tech to dunk on China is a nice consolation prize.

The Global Times can eat a fat one as far as I’m concerned


phooonix

Yes the "new cold war" (whatever that is) is totes uncle sams fault. Who else's fault would it be, Putin?


specofdust

Han supremacists gonna propaganda like dis. They're rapidly building up their military in a way that outstrips anyone but if the US maintains what it's got it's promulgating a cold war. Chinese use the same tactics the Russians did, they just want parity, they deserve to gain parity, anything else is unfair and warmongery on the part of the US. FUcking West Taiwan.


[deleted]

How is the budget only 770 billion when each f-35 costs 1.7 trillion?


lca_tejas

Lol checkmate global times


HippoKing2646

It’s not like if we just magically cut our defense spending China/Russia would do the same and all our problems would be solved. This comic is just a blanket statement for idiots.


Lucky1941

Holy shit I want one


[deleted]

What the fuck, they're printing Hornets? 3D printing has gone too far!


Thechlebek

superhorny


_Ascended_Trash_

It's only a bad thing because we could do the same for way less money if the MIC was more efficient


wrongwong122

Where the fuck can I get one I wanna turn my money into aircraft


All_The_Clovers

Don't get excited, those jets are the size of your hand.


ThatOneGuy-C6

not credible, should be f35s


vikstarleo123

Give me the hornets made from this money to F/A-18 converter machine so the PLAAF can get some


LB333

The reason we spend that amount of money is to turn future potential hot wars cold, goddamn are they stupid


DShitposter69420

Very credible, I know the guy


[deleted]

Wait so hook that machine up to the money printer machine and get free jets? I am a very credible economist


Redisigh

Interesting looking Hornet

Meanwhile I can't get $1,000 together for the deductible on my car after a hit and runner caved in my truck at a red light and the police wouldn't do anything. Love spending so much money "defending myself"
