No, you cannot afford that. Your debt burden, explcit, is bigger than your yearly GDP, is above 100% of the yearly GDP. Even on Decembre 31st you will not have spend a single dollar over the year that really had been yours.

It got leased to you, directly or indirectly.

Your total explicit debt is exceeding your GDP, and is somewhere between 100 and 110 percent. You would need to pay the full GDP of one year to get rid of these debts, and get a straight balance by the end of the year.

Your total implicit debt is exceeding your GDP by somewhere between 800 and 1200 percent.

You can afford nothing. What you do is: you live on tick. You live by tricks. You hang on a drip, and every year you need more bottles with serum than the year before.

Over the need for the F35, one can argue. I say a new plane may be needed indeed, or planes (plural). What the F35 offers, is not what I see a likely need for in the to be expected conflicts your country will most likely find itself in in the forseeable future. The F35 lacks in firepower, in manouverability, in range, and if curing all these things, it lacks in stealth, which is the prime argument why that flying brick is so expensive. That means: the money gets wasted headlessly and a plan is not to be perceived.

The plan that economically you cannot afford anyway, that is.
