March 14Mar 14 Portugal se dvoumi oko nabavke aviona koji će zameniti F-16. Bilo je planirano da to bude F-35, ali možda na kraju bude nešto evropskog porekla. Kažu da ovaj saveznik od kog kupuju može lako da ograniči korišćenje, održavanje i operativnost. https://www.politico.eu/article/portugal-rules-out-buying-f-35s-because-of-trump/

In addition to the tax-like impact of tariffs on disposable income and consumer spending, “the uncertainty that tariffs introduced are probably going to have a larger effect, discouraging business investment [more] than I would've thought a couple of months ago,” Mericle tells Exchanges host Allison Nathan.

Quote Trump signs order to gut Voice of America, other agencies The order also targets agencies providing funding for museums, libraries and tackling homelessness. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday aimed at gutting the parent of U.S. government-funded media outlet Voice of America and six other federal agencies, his administration’s latest step to shrink bureaucracy. The order instructs the agencies — largely little-known entities including one that provides funding for museums and libraries and one tackling homelessness — to reduce their operations to the bare minimum mandated by the law. “This order continues the reduction in the elements of the Federal bureaucracy that the President has determined are unnecessary,” the order, disclosed late on Friday, says. Trump, who clashed with the Voice of America during his first term, picked former news anchor Kari Lake to be its director for his second. Lake, a staunch ally of the president, has often accused mainstream media of harboring anti-Trump bias. VOA, an international media broadcaster that operates in more than 40 languages online and on radio and television, is overseen by the U.S. Agency for Global Media. The agency also funds Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Radio Free Asia. In addition to the Agency for Global Media, Trump’s order also targets the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, and the Minority Business Development Agency for cuts. The order says those agencies should eliminate all operations not codified in statute as well as “reduce the performance of their statutory functions and associated personnel to the minimum presence and function required by law.” The order represents the latest step by Trump to remake the federal bureaucracy, a task he has largely put in the hands of tech billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency. So far, the DOGE effort has produced potential cuts of more than 100,000 jobs across the 2.3 million-member federal civilian workforce, the freezing of foreign aid, and the cancellation of thousands of programs and contracts. Some Republicans have accused VOA and other publicly-funded media outlets of being biased against conservatives. Last month, Musk called for VOA and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to be shut down in a post to his X social media platform. In a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Lake said that while she understood calls to completely dismantle VOA, she believed it could be improved. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/trump-signs-order-gut-voice-america-other-federal-agencies-rcna196564 Edited March 15Mar 15 by vememah

Od drugih vesti, Portugal i Kanada ce se izgleda povuci iz F35 programa. Ako ovo postane masovnije, sto moze da se ocekuje, americka vojna industrija i sve povezano sa njom ce biti u velikom problemu. Takodje, Tramp je ocigledno poceo da ignorise naredbe sudova pa pored politicke i ekonomske krize, uskoro stize i ustavna kriza. Ja zaista ne vidim kako sve ovo nece uskoro rezultirati u daljem padu dolara i finansijskoj krizi. Covek je vec sada ispod 50%, a nepopularni efekti tek dolaze - bice tu svasta i mislim da je samo pitanje vremena kada ce da izbije neko nasilje. Edited March 16Mar 16 by Anduril

Mississauga, which is located immediately to the west of Toronto, said over the weekend that the process was underway to remove the U.S. flags from its buildings. Mayor Carolyn Parrish announced the move in a social media post on Saturday, saying it had come “at the request of many.” Quote The City of Barrie removed American flags from its facilities recently, while West Lincoln Township has done the same.

Ako ovo postane masovnije, sto moze da se ocekuje, americka vojna industrija i sve povezano sa njom ce biti u velikom problemu. Ako Kanada odustane od F-35 prva alternativa je da se naruci jos CF-18 (varijanta F/A-18 prilagodjena kanadskim potrebama) tako da ce se samo promeniti americka firma koja ce da dobije porudzbinu. To su kriticari nabavke F-35 i zeleli otpocetka jer za isti novac dobiju veci broj aviona sa kojim su pride posade upoznate pa preobuka nije potrebna a i sva logistika za odrzavanje je vec na mestu. Druga varijanta je svedski Gripen ali to bi kostalo znacajno vise, skoro isto kao F-35 pa je malo verovatno.
March 16Mar 16 Uvek mozete da udjete u projekat sledece generacije lovaca koji rade UK/Japan/Italija i Francuska/Nemacka/Spanija Inace Japan je prvo planirao da ima neku svoju lokalnu varijantu F-22/F-35 ali kad je postalo jasno da USA ne zeli da deli source code sa njima, uskocili su u krevet sa UK i njihovim projektom. Ovo Trampovo zatezanje sa saradnjom u Ukrajini je bio wake up call za mnoge saveznike da francuski model mozda i nije tako los.
March 17Mar 17 Ovo je pitanje koliko muzike za koje pare pre svega. CF-18 je jeftina varijanta, to vec imamo i planirano je bilo da se uzme jos pre nego sto se uletelo u posao sa F-35 za vreme Harperove valde Konzervativaca. Uprkos tome sto je Harper bio zestoko napadan zbog ove nabavke ni Trudoovi Liberali nisu odustali od nje kad su preuzeli vlast. Oni su kao alternativu razmatrali i Gripen ali su ostali pri F-35 koji je tu bio interesantan kao nesto na cega je navodno kompletan NATO trebalo da se standardizuje. Drugo sta se nije ni razmatralo. Problem je sto Kanadi novi avioni trebaju odmah / cim pre, a svi ti UK/JAP/ITA/FRA/GER/ESP lovci sledece generacije su jos uvek na jako dugackom stapu. E sad, ako su planovi za standardizaciju na nivou NATO pali u vodu (ustvari, mozda je i sam NATO kao koncept pao u vodu) onda F-35 vise i nije tako interesantan. Onda najbolja / najpristupacnija varijanta ostaje nabavka jos CF-18. F-22 nije na prodaju niti za bilo kakvu saradnju / transfer tehnologija, to Ameri kriju k'o zmija noge.
March 17Mar 17 Može jedno totalno duduk pitanje ? Koliko su avioni sa posadom još uvek aktuelni u savremenom ratovanju ? Šta može avion a ne može dron/jato dronova/“pametna” bomba ?
