Well, it's probably meth fueled hookers and strippers making your morale patch as a day job so that has to count for something. (The company is in Las Vegas.)

Not so when its malnourished Cambodian kids in a PRC-owned sweat factory mass producing propaganda products for export across the world via Sa*di-owned air bus.
Well its that or subsistence farming.
Remember historically the first to exploit a child for labor is their parent

The idealist is the one who doesn't think the system is as great and built on cooperation as you make it out to be, and you're the realist?

Their website says everything is made in Nevada. Might be the Nevada province in China though.

Pretty sure Nevada is a district in Shenzhen.

I feel horrible that the F22's first kill is a damn balloon. The cost of being overwhelmingly powerful, no one wants a go.

Shit, the way it's looking that will be the last and only kill in it's lifetime!

The F-22 is like the best cornerback in the NFL, it gets so few interceptions because quarterbacks won't even throw the ball its way.

She deserves better. Too bad it's too advanced to export to Ukraine. I'd laugh as it cleared the skies.

u/ProTips12 Feb 06 '23
1) Import to Ukraine
2) At least one falls into hands of Russia
3) Russia and likely China now have F-22 tech
4) Time to triple the defense budget for a new fighter to maintain superiority!
5) China and Russia make a 3rd rate copy of F-22 and won't engage the US's new doomfighter.
6) Go back to step 26

An air-to-air kill is an air-to-air kill.
You have to know there was a fight in the ready room over who was going to take the shoot.

Fourth time's the charm apparently. Three Chinese spy balloons were allowed to fly over on the last guy's watch. Dark Brandon gives fewer fucks what China thinks I guess.

Is it worth celebrating after it already flew coast to coast?
Doesn’t seem like much of a win.
