If the USA's airbases are all bombed there's nothing going to be left on the planet. It's not a credible scenario. There may be other reasons, but this is a dumb one.
- SonicScrub 3y agoThe F-35 is owned and operated by many nations besides the US. For example, those in the article itself (Norway).
- WrongAssumption 3y agoThe US operates 750 bases in 80 countries. I don't know why you are fixated on US operations, when military operations primarily take place outside of the US.

- psd1 3y agoSpace-based weapons should make you uneasy about America's home-soil impunity. This increases when rival powers gain heavy-lift capability. If you can lift a few tons into orbit, you can drop rocks on targets. Not sure if there's much a target can do about that, other than not be there when it falls. It's not quite as apocalyptic as nuclear holocaust, which is nice.
