Another video, another bizarre tale; the man who single-handedly took on Japan’s underworld after an unusual string of events.

“The Lockheed bribery scandals encompassed a series of bribes and contributions made by officials of U.S. aerospace company Lockheed from the late 1950s to the 1970s in the process of negotiating the sale of aircraft.

The scandal caused considerable political controversy in West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan. In the U.S., the scandal nearly led to Lockheed’s downfall, as it was already struggling due to the commercial failure of the L-1011 TriStar airliner.”

    "F*cking someone while flying a plane" we're also F*cking the YouTube algorithm apparently! Jesus, censors are going to get angry. I'm impressed. If I could subscribe twice I could just because of that detail, heck id do it three times.

    He sallied out believing his sacrifice would save Japan. In fact, it was basically just pointless suicide.

    In other words, he was a true special attack pilot.

    "We should wall off the [USA] and turn it into a LARP zone-"

    Yeah but then who would export most of your food and provide all your defenses over there in Europistan, Qxir?

    Lol all you useless Euros say you want the US gone but you'd all collapse in less than a year without us. Also you're welcome for rebuilding your entire continent after WW2 (See: the Marshall plan)

    😉

    its amazing how in the 20th century you could just walk into an airport dressed as a pilot, feed them some bullshit and then fly a plane. Its like movie logic actually worked back then

    Fun Fact: Lockheed Martin still bribes the US government to pursue aggressive foreign policy so that they'll profit more from replacing lost weapons and aircraft. They just do it legally now. It's called Lobbying here in the US. If you've ever wondered why this country is so fucked, it's because political bribery is 100% legal here.
