Give them to the Army. Repeal that silly fixed-wing limitation. The Army will make better use of them than the Air Force ever did.

And they have great pornstars.

Oh man, how much would Poland and Baltics love to get A-10s like Poland got Mig-29s from Germany for free. And A-10 was designed to operate here and destroy russian tanks here. Please send them here, it would definitely deter Russia from doing the same in e Europe, what it did to Ukraine.

Poland should be #1 on the recipient list. They’ve been a good ally since they joined NATO and an outstanding member of the EU.

Because we’re dicks! We’re reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the other countries are pussies. And China is an asshole. Pussies don’t like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way.…

Well, China invaded the Philippine’s exclusive economic zone in 1994 to take ownership of some of these islands.

They also picked a fight with Vietnam over some of these islands in 1988.

China invaded Vietnam in 1979, and their less than one month long war tallied up, by varying estimates, about 107,000 to 153,000…
