Not to mention Venezuela...

we don't need F-22s to fight venezuela.



Unless they buy a **** load of su-27's and S-400's with all
that oil money the US is supplying them.
With production running at 3 million barrels per day they
have an income of around $170 billion per annum which is
double what they had last year.

That could buy Chavez a lot of shiny new toys that go bang.

when he does but them and trains people to use them, and trains people to
service them.
and since su-27s first flew in 1977 and went into service in 1984 i'd say
they are not exactly cutting edge technology.
