Wait Belgium stayed in the F-35 program?
was it ever really in doubt? not even massive scandals involving the military and our minister of defense withholding information on the issue and clearly loving with the whole process could slow it down. the question why we even need the planes was never asked, the other candidates never stood a chance, we're spending a couple of billion euros (who knows how many?) as a handout to the arms industry and so that the right wing here can feel like big strong boys who totally matter

They’re also ways to ensure a permanent customer base for local companies. All your naval ships are built in Norwegian yards. Some of the parts for your F-35s will be built by Kongsberg.

what no hardly anything is built in norwegian yards

the frigate we managed to wreck yesterday was made in spain, our submarines are german and idk who makes our torpedo boats, but it's almost certainly not a norwegian company

it is true that our armament industry gets integrated into the supply chain for the f-35, but that only further strengthens the feudalism parallel in that the suzerain keeps control of their subjects through effectively giving private kickbacks to their clients out of the tribute

realistically there are far cheaper ways to subsidise the arms industry

sure it's dry, but no drier than it has been for most of the last fifteen years. this is the new normal

it's honestly in a really frustrating state with tons of complicating factors. to put it very simply, the main focus is on hardening properties and infrastructure in vulnerable areas through buffer areas kept free of potentially flammable vegetation. the big problems with this is that a large part of it relies on owners putting in the time, effort and money to comply with these requirements, and that the areas that are vulnerable are rapidly expanding as climate change dries out and heats up our region

a possible solution to this is more widespread and aggressive use of controlled burns to safely deplete fuel, but continuous drought conditions, fears from the community, and regulatory inertia make this difficult if not impossible to implement

so now we're in permanent hellworld in which fires can breakout year round, in areas that have not traditionally hardened against them, all while communities continue to sprawl out further into the hinterlands. and the states only recourse seems to be efficiently evacuating people and then paying for rebuilding. climate change is already costing our state hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars a year just in this respect
