Well, I am all about beating down China. But do we have the 300 billion to make them all?

Why, so Biden can give them all to his masters in Ukraine?

Maybe if we ask Zelinsky nicely he will give it back?

I’d have to see both expected mission availability AND proposed mission statements for that many strategic bombers.

On the surface it seems excessive.

“Air Force Needs 300-400 B-21 Raiders”

Why?

So we can leave them in Afghanistan or gift them to Ukraine?

The military industrial complex makes corrupt politicians rich.

We’re 33 trillion dollars in debt.

Enough is enough.

To do what? Bomb Republican states? Bomb U.S. churches? Napalm Trump rallies? Drop DEI crap pamphlets on the population who can still read (e.g., private school areas)?

What a piker. Only 400 new bombers? That’s only one bomber for every 3,530,000 Chinese people.

Manned bombers seem so….1960’s

This is the era of unmanned weapons platforms and for deep interdiction……missiles

President Coolidge was very careful with the public treasury. And he was faced with the same problem. I’m not saying that Coolidge was right. But he did have an interesting solution:

Why don’t we just buy one airplane and let the pilots take turns flying it.

Do we have enough?
Sure...
Just deport the 45-to-50 million MIVs currently in this country destroying our economy through theft & welfare & drugs, the education system, and what remains of civil western culture...

Even deportation with prejudice might be appropriate... The invasion must be defeated by any means necessary...

“1960’s”

These bombers could overfly the entire line in Ukraine and survive.

But hundreds of missiles would fly.

Why would they want to overfly Ukraine?
Even Russian strategic air does not overfly Ukraine to conduct ALCM missions with great accuracy.
