The Portuguese Air Force is no longer expected to acquire the 5th generation F-35 fighter from Lockheed Martin, all due to the review of the US position towards NATO.

    My intention was to say that Portugal has not faced military threats. The fact that it was involved in unjust colonial wars is, in fact, a reason they shouldn’t be allowed to have jets.

    And no, I don’t want them to waste money on military boondoggles that could be used to help actual people.

      It’s hilarious that after the profound ignorance you’ve repeatedly displayed about Portugal whilst not being Portuguese and still claiming that you know better than the Portuguese, you still expect that anybody out there, no matter how stupid, will believe that having a genuine concern for the Portuguese (not wanting them to waste money) is in any way form or shape what drives your repeated attempts at convincing others that Portugal shouldn’t have fighter jets.

      Thanks for the entertainment!

        My intention was to point out that Portugal does not face any threats and your argument seems to be “well they murdered all those people in the colonial wars, what if they need to murder indigenous resistance fighters again huh?!”

        You just love Portugal’s colonial history I guess and want to relive it.
