      Everybody is pretty like "Oh ok that's cool I guess" until they realise the f-22, the deadliest non classified fighter in service, was made in the late 80s. Around 40 years before that jets were extremely primitive, imagine what they have now.

      The thing is, the freedom won`t be forever as well. Because of, yet again - Everybody wants to rule the world. One tyrannies disappear, making space for future dictators to appear.
      Free countries may be easily corrupted to the wishes of an oligarchs, autocrats, since they would easily forget in 50 years what they fought against back then. What walls had they brought down. What ideals they helped to rise. What value carry democracy and freedom for the people...
      USSR collapse wasn`t expected by most. To reform, to transform into a confederacy, to throw away communism? Perhaps, but not to completely dissolve. Because of it, we allowed half of newly-independent states to embrace anti-democratic regimes, as in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine (2010-2014), Turkmenistan... And thats even ignoring putin!

      @@m.damarsr9863Oh it’s definitely less than one hour of actual combat per mission. Probably close to 10-30 minutes total depending on what the mission is. The rest of the 2-8 hours is just flying around. Now this is really only representative of lower intensity conflicts or something like the Gulf War where it was such a stomp that you never really saw much retaliation. In a full on world war between major powers, I’d imagine the amount of combat time per sortie would go up.
      I’d also like to point out that I’m not a pilot. However, I do personally know several and have played my fair share of sims.

      @@Oxide53115 Hi! In 2003, when Iraq 🇮🇶 was seeking revenge against Kuwait 🇰🇼 due to the involvement of the USA and other countries in liberating Kuwait, they fired rockets, and one of them landed near this place (the rocket fell near Souq Sharq in Kuwait). You can search for more information on Google. The mall was close to the hospital where my mom was giving birth to me. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the name of the hospital 😞
