In the meantime, what will conducting such open-heart surgery on the organs of US empire mean for that empire? For the US homeland? For global economic supply chains? Can it be 'saved'? Will it crash and burn? And the US' relationship with that godforsaken country in the Middle East; is it as cosy and eternal as it seemed when wanted war criminal Netanyahu became Trump's first head-of-state to visit DC last week?

So bless the "whiz kids" revealing the money trail - cause follow the money is a tried and tested proven way to uncover nefarious behavior - all that is left is the one thing been lacking - and this is - tis time for some "heads to roll" metaphorically - cause if there is no accountability for those setup these systems in conflict without a doubt to the ideology of the founders - then this is nothing but a ruse.

Pentagon. The US military has just pulled out of the F35 show at the last minute. It happened at an air show in India.
Everyone says that the Americans pulled out because the F35 has much worse parameters than the SU57 presented earlier by Russia.
Considering that both planes are fighting for the order from India, this is the only rational explanation.
" Expert explains US refusal to present F-35 with fear of embarrassment in front of Su-57
Expert Koshkin: US withdrew F-35 from air show in India for fear of worse treatment
The United States refused to present F-35 and F-16 fighters at Aero India 2025, fearing that their equipment would look ridiculous and worse against the background of Russian Su-57. Head of Department of Political Analysis and Socio-Psychological Processes of Plekhanov Russian Economic University shared this opinion with Izvestia newspaper on February 10. G.V. Plekhanova, military expert Andrei Koshkin.
On the same day, Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov reported that American aircraft were withdrawn from the demonstration. According to him, the American side is not ready for fair competition.
“Our Su-57 multirole fighter has undergone quite extensive tests in combat conditions. The F-35 does not have this. And let's be honest, they criticize us for the fact that it is supposedly very noisy. But this is not a reason not to use it in combat conditions,” Koshkin commented.
He admitted that the reason for the US refusal to show the fighters was the deterioration of the geopolitical situation between Washington and Moscow. However, as the expert noted, the exact reason for this decision is still unknown.
In addition, the newspaper's interlocutor emphasized that participation in such air shows promotes technology and increases the authority of the country's military. Koshkin believes that the United States considered it better not to participate in this event than to expose themselves to shame.
“The Americans, not wanting to appear weak and inferior in the air and on the ground to our Su-57, simply withdrew from participation. <...> The point is that it is better not to participate than to fail, the military expert concluded."

I will add that the US has already produced over 1,100 F35s. They are now producing 20 per month.
Such a show could cause cognitive dissonance among the ordering parties.
For example, the SU57 needed only 10 seconds to get off the runway!
