Default GIVEN CURRENT WARS, F-35s ARE BETTER CHOICE THAN MORE F-22As

its best to deal with real threats now than to worry about a
hypothetical threat that will probably never materialize.


Which ensures that the next who will come as a complete
surprise technologically. Besides which, the Air Force is
only lightly burdened by the present conflict as a small
number of fast movers and heavies are quite capable dealing
with what local resources can't. Not to mention that artillery
and missile technology allows the guy in contact to choose
which asshat he wants to whack on an individual basis.

we are in two wars now{which we are losing} and you're worried about an
imaginary war against an imaginary opponent.
russia is not a credible threat. and it is decades away from being one.
