How do you get there from my response. I didn't say anything about my opinion of the way the government handled the situation. I only commented that this time it worked out in our favor.

Had we bought the F-35s years ago we would have had buggy planes. Stalling has actually helped us tremendously in this one example. They are also a whole lot cheaper now than years ago.

Why multi year ice, strengthen it enough to be able to transit under moderate ice and limit your under ice maneuvers. If the ice is melting at the rate the tree huggers tell us it is it shouldn't be an issue. With shipping increasing the ice gets broken up often so it should be able to surface...

With the Ice pack that KB posted and the fact the only adversarial country in that ice pack is Russia and the fact that we know the Americans are shadowing the Russian subs constantly, Would we not be better served buying a long legged AIP sub. Wiki claims the 212 can stay submerged for 21 days...
