It's really thirdie cope for being part of the butthurt belt, they all just complain about how the evil westoid capitalists exploit them by taking (buying) their natural resources.

only counts buying f35 are the ones that are under globohomosexual rule and are blackmailed into it.
Why would any free country buy that fat overpriced pig?
Seriously what is their problem? Do they just not want to accept the supposed indignity of establishing something made by uncouth Americans as their primary combat aircraft?
Americans have been over that kind of foreign policy bragging ever since the boomers started entering the retirement homes. It's really not that big of a deal, plenty of weapons in the American inventory are either made by, or licensed copies, of Euro weapons.
It’s just protectionism, it’s an extremely good policy. They don’t need F-35s, there’s literally no scenario in which they’re in a war where they need them and not part of a large coalition with them. It’s much better policy to continue to develop their own national industry for domestic use and for flooding the unaligned export market.
France makes Tactical blunders in their protectionism, but it’s strategically very wise of them. We can b***h and moan about them all we want, fact is they maintain independence while also benefiting from protection from their alliances with the rest of the west.
Gallic pride and cultural habits aside, the French are insistent that their procurement have some control over design and production. As recently as the 1970s/1980s it was a real streak of pure self-sufficiency (sort of a more benign version of the Norks' "Juche ideal"), but in past decades they've accepted that modern development costs are such that they need to partner up.
Doing things the French Way is a cultural ideal. They're devoted contrarians.
>Doing things the French Way is a cultural ideal. They're devoted contrarians.
True, and it's why the behemoth of the collective U.S. MIC find them indispensable. Rivalry keeps the tools sharp and the flab at bay, and French design was already outpacing the Commies by the 1980s. Also, contrarians are great for exploring non-obvious paths in R&D, and every so often they come back with new perspectives.

As Mexico becomes the new China for the U.S., and the west generally seeks to diversify its economic portfolio in the south/east/southeast Asian sphere, the Philippines is increasingly becoming important. Historic ties with the US, the ability to get better deals from the US due to both their location and their ability to at least pretend to court china, cheap labour but the existence of educated expats and some solid domestic educated peoples, and an eternally strategic geography. I’m honestly bullish on the future of the Philippines long term, even if short term they are likely to be directly impacted by future war between the US and China. the existence of too different groups of armed radicals is not exactly ideal however
>nd their ability to at least pretend to court china
That was basically just Duterte thinking he could play both sides in case the US really did collapse like doomers say. Then he actually met Xi and understood the flips would be little more than 2nd class citizens to the chinese so he eventually backed out. People thought Bongbong was gonna flip too but it turns out, he remembers who buttered his dad's bread.
It doesn't matter if the Philippines is a third world shithole, if they could actually pay for top level American stuff there is no reason not to sell shit to them. For starters they're an actual US ally, not some fence sitter that the US is courting for realpolitik.
But they can't even afford even the 'cheap' American hardware so they source for alternatives and they're fricked regardless.
>For starters they're an actual US ally, not some fence sitter that the US is courting for realpolitik.
This, people seem to really underestimate just how well the US and Philippines get along. Even Japan has a more contentious relationship with the US when it comes to say, hosting US military bases there. They know they can't afford to maintain a military capable of defending itself from China so they welcome the bases knowing it takes that economic load off of them.
Mongolia is a shockingly irrelevant country. Enormous landmass with only three million people. Fun fact: there are more than twice as many Mongolians living in China than there are in Mongolia.
Why are Australia and NZ not in the Global South?
They are high income western countries
>Literally in the southern hemisphere
What a fricking moronic concept
'Global South' is just a polite way of saying thirdies
Eventually 'global south' will become a slur, then society will need to invent another new polite way to say 'poor shithole'. Then that will need replacing too, and so on forever. It doesn't matter if it's accurate because it's a temporary phrase.
Don’t worry senpai everywhere will become the global south thanks to climate crisis. Should be a fun century.
I doubt it
I get the vibe everywhere will become a shithole but I’m also insane.
It just means Thirdie at the end of the day
So what you're actually saying is any country that is too poor to afford F-35's and isn't in bed with the United States?
Global South is just a modern euphemism for third world.
It's really thirdie cope for being part of the butthurt belt, they all just complain about how the evil westoid capitalists exploit them by taking (buying) their natural resources. They never have the self awareness to examine why SK and Japan became some of the richest countries in half a century while they are literally India or Brazil tier

Look I like the Philippines, they're very nice people, but it's like the definition of a thirdie country.
France is not buying F-35s
Accept it macron, as soon as your shitty fcas fails you'll be lining up to suck lockhead martins dick.
Macaron is a pragmatist, he would buy F 35 but Dassault and the industry wants a locally produced fighter, which is good
Depends on whether the current MoD is also a Dassault plant or not.
Seriously what is their problem? Do they just not want to accept the supposed indignity of establishing something made by uncouth Americans as their primary combat aircraft?
Americans have been over that kind of foreign policy bragging ever since the boomers started entering the retirement homes. It's really not that big of a deal, plenty of weapons in the American inventory are either made by, or licensed copies, of Euro weapons.
Doing things the French Way is a cultural ideal. They're devoted contrarians.
There’s nothing wrong with trying to keep jobs in the country
Italy gained a shit ton of jobs from producing the F-35 for all of Europe.
It’s just protectionism, it’s an extremely good policy. They don’t need F-35s, there’s literally no scenario in which they’re in a war where they need them and not part of a large coalition with them. It’s much better policy to continue to develop their own national industry for domestic use and for flooding the unaligned export market.

I’m pretty sure they are.

if only the Philippines is not a third world shithole, they'd have access to the most advanced US weapon systems just like the UK and Japan
It doesn't matter if the Philippines is a third world shithole, if they could actually pay for top level American stuff there is no reason not to sell shit to them. For starters they're an actual US ally, not some fence sitter that the US is courting for realpolitik.

They know they can't afford to maintain a military capable of defending itself from China so they welcome the bases knowing it takes that economic load off of them.
Why do you care? It's not like you're gonna pilot it. Americans are probably gonna put some on bases there, anyway
>Mongolia
It never even crossed my mind that they would have an airforce
Mongolia is a shockingly irrelevant country. Enormous landmass with only three million people. Fun fact: there are more than twice as many Mongolians living in China than there are in Mongolia.
They seem to be busy enjoying their hybrid between modern comforts and the traditional lifestyle.
I imagine it as chinese canada. But without arctic patrols, so even less militarized
>Mongolia
We need to arm the moderate hordes
Vietnam would at least have to pretend to be a multiparty democracy.
Hey, they're the one country of pro-US, anti-China commies we've got. Let's not rock the boat too much here.
None because thirdies would covertly sell an F-35 to the Chinese as soon as they could.
Only countries that want to wage war against china and russia even more than the us does
>"South" and "North"
Mongolia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, QATAR, Kuwait, Egypt, Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Mexico, Uruguay, Morocco, Algeria, Thailand, Vietnam, Phillipines, Malaysia
>global south
>does not include the Southern Continent
>includes China, Mexico and North Africa
try and looking up what global south means
Russia is in the global south as they are de facto a third world country (and by that I mean a failed state not a non-aligned meme)
No need or market for stealth fighter jets in that part of the world.
Maybe Malaysia...if they weren't a bunch of jungle Black folk who are clearly inferior to orderly, clean Singapore 😉
