like I said. the us isn't some helpless damsel. we already have the world's most advanced arsenal OVERALL Only thing aircraft wise is maybe chinass j35 but again.
we are already funding a genocide. in a much more unstable region mind you. the world is more complex than 'fund new jet to prevent war!' and again there are other ways we could modernized the arsenal rather than finding failure over bloated projects like the f35. btw the us is only recently landing f35s in the UK raining area F-35 fighter jets land in NATO-member Denmark to replace F-16s, some of ... https://apnews.com/article/denmark-ukraine-f35-f16-fighter-jets-2470e553fd7211a02e5f50f8e787d213 so I doubt its had much impact on what putin does.
I think star link and elons antics weigh more than the f35s honestly.
and again Russia is a nuclear power. ultimately unless we can deal with that. the only way is to s9me sort of negotiation. not endless war lol. a new shiny jet is not the own you think it's gonna be on putin. people like trump just say shit like that and you guys eat it up. reality is Russia has always been not at the same level as NATO led forces. however that STILL didn't stop what is happening.
so many people were like it could not happen it would be dumb Russia doesn't have the caabillity and yet they STILL did it.
so why the fuck are you coming in here like yea you don't know what you're talking about the f35 is actually exactly what we need to prevent this stuff. when all it would do at best is give us a slight more of an edge when shit inevitably hits the fan because you don't deal with a fucking nuclear power by brandashing better jets. this isn't fucking gta dude.
NATO in its current form could already deal with threat from putin. why the fuck do you think Ukraine wants to join? alliances and strategic diplomatic actions are how you deal with this not fucking jets while your people starve, end up homeless, and are unable to pay for healthcare or not having enough savings to cover a 200$+ accident.
like we need to pay more fucking attention here domestically dude. wake the fuck up.
