I make that three.
The F35 should be halted immediately.
The reason (this is my Spidey-Sense talking here) that The Usurper’s admin put all their eggs in the F35 basket is because they *knew* that it would be a hugely expensive and ineffective boondoggle that would put the US in an untenable position for decades.
Every decision of this administration should be viewed as if it was being made by our most bitter enemy. These decisions only make sense when you consider their potential to hurt us.
Our current inventory of airplanes (with updated avionics of course) is the best at what they do - each in his own way.
No better ground support than the A10.
No better dogfighter than the F16.
No better long range interceptor than the F22.
No better fighter/bomber than the F15SE.
And of course the B52 - because B52!
EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/AmericansThere are NO counter examples.
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Attacks Christianity
e) Serves islam
f) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
I hate to defend the Kenyan here, but the F35 is actually an international program.
For example, the UK has spent a couple of billion or more on new aircraft carriers which *rely* on the F35. Too big to fail. Also, other nations have put a lot of money in to the development etc.
Naturally, we can say F ‘EM, but that ain’t gonna play on the world stage.
F22 is US-only tech. Not even the UK can buy ‘em.
Also ... A10 ALL THE WAY BABY! Do not kill that aircraft, please.
Current and future battlefields need first air superiority to clean the skies (F22s). Then the cheapest payload carriers and close air support. That means bombers (B52s or whatever)and A10s (or modern replacements). I’m not seeing how F35s fit the practical need of wars we are likely to encounter - they are far too expensive to mass produce.
“No better ground support than the A10.

I’d say:
No better A/G jet than the A10.
No better A/A jet than the F-22.
No better deep strike/interdiction jet than the F-15E.
Yep agree with each of your posts....... me, I’d stop foreign aid to all but loyal nations with proven track records of allowing us full access to bases and ports etc during low intensity conflicts and all out war.
The savings alone in foreign aid saved as well as domestic spending on polidiot pork pandering saved will build jobs, defense, economy etc... not 100% isolationism but close enough to let these united states recover, repair, replace its basic infrastructure, economy and defense.
As to illegals ...treat em like sugar ants. Take the sugar off the kitchen counter aka jobs, goobermint handouts etc ..... and they will take themselves home or to deportation jail or shot as criminals if they turn to crime versus going back home and following legal path to citizenship.
My opinions on that...stay safe !
