    anything within 1500 miles of an f22 can be considered us-controlled airspace, yes

    bombing is part of the problem, yes

    as far as trolling attempts go, this is a lazy one

          You can’t enforce a “No Fly Zone” unless you are directly engaged or control that airspace, which the US is not and does not.

            and they could if they wanted to, which is the point

            you’re currently requesting a noncredibledefense addict justify defense policy and acting as if that’s not something they’d want to do with their free time

              No, they couldn’t. The fact you think they can is absolutely insane, and shows you have zero knowledge about what is happening right now, or global politics. Fucking sad.

                “the f22 is demonstrably the most advanced air superiority fighter the world has ever seen, and the us could deploy them in situ if they wanted” vs “nuh uh”

                BORING try again

                  Because they bought jets from somebody who makes them has nothing to do with the US government, unless you’re suggesting the government itself turn any buyers away.

                  Fun fact, Airbus isn’t a US company, and you probably fly on those quite a bit versus Boeing. Sit with that.

                  Next.

                    omfg you actually went for the argument of “the f22 isn’t actually that good”

                    from an admittedly very western perspective, probably the best air superiority fighter with no us involvement is the ef2000, and the f22 absolutely trounces it

                    boeing doesn’t make the f22, and building a civilian airliner is a thoroughly different skill to building a military jet

                    i legitimately cannot believe this is the argument you’re attempting

                    also, i already told you i’m a ncd addict, i very obviously don’t leave the house, and therefore don’t travel on airbus or boeing jets
