Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

The f35 strikes me as being an impossible wartime asset. It’s tremendously complicated and needs a lot of support. We’re seeing in Ukraine that cheap assets can eliminate very expensive assets pretty easily, and as with previous industrialized wars, the ability to churn out many military assets beats technology.
In the current political climate, no country (except perhaps Israel) should be part of the f35 failure of a program.
It's a long range plane. Stealth means you can gets hundreds of miles closer to long distance radar detection before they can see you, letting you see and hit the enemy plane before they can see you. You don't see Ukraine giving up on planes just because they can be hit by a drone.
There’s a big difference between “giving up on planes” and giving up on the F35. For example, buying a simpler plane that can be manufactured in greater numbers, more quickly, at lower unit cost, that goes longer between scheduled maintenance, etc.
