In today's spicy drop, Peaches' back after a one-day hiatus—sorry not sorry—and he’s coming in hotter than a Chinese stealth jet built entirely out of stolen parts. From the Pentagon reclaiming Panama like it's 1914, to the US Space Force asking for scraps while trying to refuel space warships mid-orbit, this one’s got everything: geopolitical hot takes, budget rants, and even a shoutout to F-15Es babysitting the Pacific while we wait for the F-15EXs to show up fashionably late.

Oh, and that $2.1 TRILLION F-35 program? Apparently, it’s just a long-term payment plan that spans 100 years. You know, like student loans—but with jet engines.

China's “J-36” makes an appearance, but Jared’s not buying the hype. After all, when 80% of your military tech is duct-taped IP theft, maybe don’t flex so hard.

And if Congress can't pass a damn budget, maybe we should shut it all down and hard reset this clown show.

You didn’t ask for this dose of snark, sarcasm, and space-fueled doomscrolling—but here it is.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • The U.S. wants Panama Canal custody back. Apparently, giving it away was “not great.”
  • China’s Belt & Road: more like Broke & Screwed.
  • $2.1 trillion for the F-35… but it's over 100 years, so relax (or don't).
  • Space Force: “We need money.” Congress: “LOL, no.”
  • Orbital refueling is coming. Yes, we're gassing up stuff in space now.
  • Government budgeting is a joke. Jared votes for a shutdown just to shake things up.
  • The J-36 fighter looks mean—but remember, China builds with Google Images and hope.
  • F-15Es holding down the Pacific while we wait for the EXs like it’s a delayed Amazon delivery.
  • Ukraine’s flying F-16s now—just not ours (we think).
  • Junior enlisted got a raise… so child care might cost more? Make it make sense.
