So we're replacing it with a more powerful one that is smaller and lighter, deployable via cruise missile with stealth technology so that bad guys don't know what's coming until there is a giant mushroom cloud in their backyard!? Just dreaming-

In the meantime, death to Future Combat System, Zumwald, F22, cut backs on the F35, cuts on missile defense, cuts on defense personnel and end strength...

Nothing good has ever come from American weakness or isolationism.

Well...yeah. We have. OK, they may not be “more powerful”, but they more than make up for reduced power with quantity and target accuracies measured in inches instead of miles. This puppy has been obsolete for decades, and is being dismantled now because it was too much of a hassle to dismantle it earlier.
