Putin subscribes to the Heartland Geopolitical Theory. His goals in Europe are the Polish and Bessarabian gaps.

There is so much evil crap you can pin on the United States, but protecting people from Vladimir Putin is not one of them. 
What would we do in Russia’s situation? (Research the Cuban missile crisis and the Monroe Doctrine) These are neighboring countries all within Russia’s sphere of influence.  How many tens of Billions have we sunk into NGO’s to destablalize those countries. Look no further than the Middle East.
Was it or was it not wrong for Russia to invade Ukraine?

His response, if any, will be to spam you with historical and geopolitical “context” that justifies Russia’s actions in Ukraine. He accuses us of being mouthpieces of US propaganda when literally everything he is typing came straight from a Jeffrey Sachs speech.

Yeah, Moorlander been around here for forever - selling houses in Clayton for a long time, giving us great visuals of our city along the way.  

“Screw Ukraine” was not on my bingo card from this user in 2026.  Unless they’re Russian by immigration or decent I can’t put my thumb on this one..

I never said “screw Ukraine.” I’m not pro-Russia just because I question the pro-Ukraine narrative.

Do you guys also name call individuals who question the Israel narrative on Gaza? Or question whether Iran was 2 weeks away from building a nuclear weapon? How about Sadam possessing WOMD?

You have cited 3 invading forces and yes, I question all their narratives, especially as they morph beyond the initial conflict - typically to fill gaps in their original justifications or re-direct when those justifications have either proven to be or worn thin, particularly in justifying continued escalation.  The issue here is that RUSSIA is the invading forces, attempting to topple a sovereign government and annex its land and resources in its entirety.  So it is RUSSIA’s narrative I question, not the country being attacked with no provocation.

“No provocation”
I would argue this is the false pretext your entire arguement is based on so here in lies the problem.

Boeing didn't announce how much of the F/A-XX would be assembled here, but it seems hard to believe that they would ship much of the production elsewhere.

With that in mind, will they have enough floorspace with what is being built now or could we see additional facilities? 

What a couple year run we've had though! From wondering if there would be much going beyond the T-7 line to a huge build out and massive orders.

I assumed assembly would be here but some parts would be made elsewhere.

Boeing heads down familiar route of expensive (to us) failure.
