• I thought the entire organizing principal of the Kingdom was to betray, loot, and murder as many people as possible all over the world so that like 27 extremely inbred families can have big, unmaintainable houses with names like “Biffleworth” or “Codswallow”, wear several layers of fine clothing, and twirl each other about at garden parties or feasts where social climbers try to seduce them and birth some peripheral appendage with a title like Baronet of Turdshire.

      that’s a little reductive. the Kingdom also exists to betray, loot, and murder as many people as possible all over the world to enrich Blackrock

    In making the announcement in September suspending 30 arms export licences, ministers gave a carve out for the supply of UK components to the global pool of F-35 jets, saying such disruption to the entire F-35 programme would be a threat to Nato’s peace and security.

    The F-35 supply chain is literally killing 100s of thousands of people as a blood sacrifice to keep itself flowing.

    If the court accepts these arguments it would completely gut the meaning of the duty to prevent genocide under international law

    The UK is helping bomb the only country on earth who is upholding this duty. The “duty” has been gutted for a long time.

    but defence ministry officials have claimed any decision to restrict supply of F-35 parts is a matter for the F-35 executive steering board, a body that only acts by consensus. It added more than 1,000 F-35s currently operate with a high proportion undertaking either UK or Nato operations.

    The what? What the hell is this board?

    Well, I think it is the executive board of the F-35 joint program office, because some news sites use the term interchangeably (I searched this board).

    If you want to know which fuckers are responsible for this shit, then use this link. This org chart seems to be legit. At least I confirmed the top guy Michael j schmidt is actually the lead on the joint program office.
