ANY article that says the F22 was a mistake is to be taken with a grain of salt.

He teaches courses on international security, Chinese foreign policy, war and peace in the Middle East, Regional Security in the Indo-Pacific Region, and the World Wars.

Sounds like a John Bolton to me.

“ANY article that says the F22 was a mistake is to be taken with a grain of salt.”

Context though, is that the F-22 was a great plane, but the mistake was we only built 195. With the order that small, the price was stayed high, and an international market for them never developed. There were almost 5,000 F-16s built for comparison.

I think he meant the mistake was making too few. They were too good so Obama had to kill ‘em.
