    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.

          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

            Nope, didn’t say anything about the jets. Doesn’t matter. Not sure why you’re focusing on that specifically though, because the F22 is actually an aerial maneuver plane, and has nothing to do with bombing. They would choose a more slow and steady plane for bombing.

            Next.

              you literally did but ok

              the F22 is actually an aerial maneuver plane

              yes the f22 is what would enforce the nfz, try again

                No, it doesn’t. Russia, France, Britain, Brazil, Canada all make air capable weapons.

                Again, you’re just arguing and not being helpful here. Bye.

                  none of those countries make a weapon system capable of shooting down an f22

                  edit because this slipped by me the first time, but “air capable weapons” is an absolutely hilarious phrase

                  what the fuck do you mean “air capable weapons”? weapons that are capable of firing upwards? is a ww2-era flak cannon an “air capable weapon”? is a shepherd’s sling an “air capable weapon” because you can fire it upwards if you try? absolute clown show with you this is great

                  Again, you’re just arguing and not being helpful here

                  “excuse me you aren’t agreeing with me please could you stop arguing with me and start being helpful”

                  i hope you’re drunk or something because this makes no sense

                    Again, you are wrong.

                    Germany and Finland both make stealth adversary systems. Finland even makes tracking systems that are specifically tailored to supersonic weapons. Both mentioned in that last assault on Ukraine that Russia didn’t waste money trying again.

                    Britain makes one of the most capable air-air tracking systems in the world, which is why that is employed on things like “The Dome”. You for some reason thought the US alone was just making all these things?

                    Finally, you apparently didn’t realize why this whole thread started. I asked for better solutions. You’ve provided zero, and worse conversation about the topic. That’s why we are conversing.

                    Later.
