they also need to amend that idiotic export ban
law on the F-22 and allow certain trust worthy countries who can
afford the F-22 to buy it. Those countries a the UK, Australia,
Israel, Japan and South Korea.

Trouble is, that seems that some sekrit are unremovable (that is, at the
airframe level, and will be a real PITA put together a credible export
version....

On your list of "trusted countries" I can understand only the Japan, SK
is too "frontline", giving F-22 to Israel means more destabilizing an
already destabilized area, Australia, why ? I don't see hostile
airforces around Oz whose needs the advanced capabilities of the F-22
(if we discard the ominous shades behind JMSDF Hyuga...). Remains only
UK as a credible ally for the F-22, if not for the severe issues in the
UK defence budget, already more than strained....
