    How much do all those missiles cost? Asking for a friend who would have preferred to have healthcare, education, free electricity, and a fully solvent Social Security system, amongst other peaceful priorities.

    Aim for the skies Iran! I’m rooting for a lot more aircraft and a couple of aircraft carriers to be added to that tally!

      I get the sentiment, but that’s thousands of deaths.

      Edit: It seems we have a ton of war hawks here. I know that Iran is defending itself, as they should. But nobody should be cheering on the war and deaths of thousands on any side. I would cheer on the total withdrawal of the US. I would rather nobody dies senseless deaths.

    F-35 is supposed to be stealth, it turns out to be extremely expensive garbage. Taxpayers should be angry at Lockheed

      I mean it’s stealth in one spectrum. Evidently the geniuses who designed the flying Cybertruck didn’t consider other spectrums like thermal.

      That has been known a long time, called a ‘complete failure’ by their own generals.
      Took some time to prove it since the cowards never fought an adversary that could defend itself.
      Despite plenty of data and negative articles many of our sell-out EU vassals ‘decided’ to buy these also immensely expensive things.
