Just another SAAB story.
The figure 100 has also been mentioned.
Everybody knows it was Obamacare that ruined the sale, not Snowden.
Well, they’ll be sorry when their pilots are sitting on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere with a busted fuel pump and a blown head gasket.
So Brazil, a country with much more to spend its money on than money available, chooses a cheaper fighter jet over an American one? Isn’t that how we LIKE to see governments work - spend less of their tax dollars and get good value for their money.
In the U.S. it might be worth using Boeing for “American Jobs” - but Brazil doesn’t care if they are American jobs, German jobs or French jobs.
Yeah, cause everyone knows that German engineering sucks ass and their manufacturing is only suited to children’s toys at the dollar store 
Nixon* started it. arooo!
*a diehard Republican, in case your memory doesn’t go back that far.
German?

At 1am.
Ah, memories.
The cowlings probably open from the wrong side, too.
IKEA.

IKEA what you did there…
I’m imagining a humongous box showing up containing millions of parts of an unassembled jet, a phonebook sized cartoon instruction book, and a single allen wrench.
When do we get to the kidding aside part?
That’s not the funny part.
Yeah, they’re no match for the professional critics who would fix everything in a day and half, at a 10th of the cost.
All kidding aside, where did you get the whacky idea that the Snowden revelations had anything at all to do with this plane deal?
