Trump is a Zionist shill so I guess it has some perks. Like having really cool fighter jets that will bomb the ever loving shit out of Iran.
F-35 is going to be the only fighter jet in production ten years from now, LockMart is cornering the market, 16,000 jobs in Fort Worth Texas is what I would assume is the reason he likes F-35 naow.
The F-35 cannot compete with the best air superiority fighters. It's a God damned lawn dart with shit range and poor performance.
Bullshit, you're just prattling Winslow Wheeler talking points from POGO which is Mother Jones Magazine.
You've gone Peak Liberal.
You read Lockmart brochures but do not understand fighters.
Air superiority fighters require two engines, greater performance, greater range.
You comparing the F-35 to the F-15 which shipped out in the 1970s is ridiculous
You don't seem to understand that the F-35 is not a dedicated air superiority fighter, nor that air superiority is no longer achieved the same way, because the F-15 can be shot down too easily, because whatever missiles can see they can kill these days, that's how the MiG-21 shot down an F-16 over Pakistan, wasn't the MiG, it was the missile.

The F-35 cannot even cross the pond without refuelling.
Refuellers are our biggest vulnerability.
It is obviously getting side tracked because they cannot silence the stink. It is not a replacement for an F-15. That was the F-22.
F-35 carries 18,500 pounds of fuel, same as an F-15 with three wing pods, everything you say is fake news.
This post os filled with so much wrong I do not even know where to begin. Besides getting the fuel capacity wrong, you seemed to think range os merely a factor of fuel capacity. LOL
