        I’d like to see none at all, but I guess that’ll be a dream for quite a while. The Enterprise was built to be a science vessel, not a war machine. It still packed a punch, though.

        Make Earth post scarcity “again”!

        Hmm, MEPSA sounds like shit…

      Are you implying that the plan is to sell more jets to Iran to replace these?

      Otherwise, Iran having F-14s is actually helpful in selling planes and bombs to Iran’s enemies.

          Which, in the case or Iran, is not them.

          I’m pretty sure this isn’t a money making conspiracy, but just normal geopolitics happening, like it always has.
