The Democrats have a way of talking tough and then acting in a limp-wristed manner. Anyone who thinks Joe Biden meant it when he said, not once, but three times, that he would defend Taiwan will now have to reassess.

They will be moved to the US to take on 2nd Amendment supporters, just like Joe Biden said.

Joe said he has F-15s and nukes. That’s how he wants to deal with the deplorables.

Ran like cowards from Ashcanistan and now running like rabbits from a reliable friend in the Pacific rim.
But they wont run from THE Ukraine will they?

Sounds like the Air Force can't fill their manpower slots and are going to flip more F-15 units to Guard and Reserve like they did with F-16s.
It's not just the number of pilots, it's all the support staff behind them as well.
To: Zhang Fei
More brilliant strategic thinking from the latest commie democrat administration.

My bet—they are being transferred to Poland or Romania.

We’re updating the whole F15 fleet with the new F15EX. They started taking delivery of them in January.

If I read the article correctly, they are planning to update to the F-15EX, but only in a limited number. To fight of the modern Chinese forces, we are going to need numbers. Stalin might not be a great military intellect, but he was right when he said “quantity IS a type of quality.”

We’ll need to commit more funding for our forces in the Pacific.
