America just sent a thunderous wake-up call to Iran and the rest of the world’s tinpot tyrants. The much-criticized F-35, dismissed for years by the left as a waste of money, has roared into combat and scored its first air-to-air kills. During Operation Epic Fury, those cutting-edge jets obliterated Iranian MiG-29s in a display of American lethal power that nobody on the left could have predicted—or stomached.
For too long, Democrats and their globalist buddies whined that the F-35 was a boondoggle, nothing more than a flying money pit. Now, as U.S. squadrons dominate the skies and take out enemy fighters, you can bet the usual suspects are clutching their pearls, desperate to find a way to spin this victory as anything other than American greatness in action. How many college professors and woke Pentagon “experts” had already written off the F-35 as a failure? Looks like they owe the U.S. military a big, fat apology.
Let’s be clear: Iran’s Soviet-made MiGs never stood a chance. The F-35 can target enemy planes from miles away—far too far for any hostile pilot to do a thing about it. When those Iranian jets took off, they were already cooked. Not that you’ll hear that from legacy media outlets who care more about defending America’s enemies than celebrating our bravest pilots. They’d rather wring their hands about diversity quotas in the Air Force than admit American-built hardware is still the best in the world.
Meanwhile, the anti-military crowd sits in their cozy faculty lounges and “expert” panels, insisting that American air power is overrated as if that will stop a missile strike. But the F-35’s performance proves the United States is still the top dog—no matter what the climate change cultists or Hollywood elites claim. It turns out investing in our military actually matters more than feeling good about ourselves at UN cocktail parties.
As Operation Epic Fury rages on, every dictator from Tehran to Moscow is being reminded what happens when the United States means business. Maybe the so-called experts should take a break from whining and thank the men and women who keep us safe—using the best planes money can buy. The question is: how many liberal “defense experts” are ashamed enough today to eat their own words, or will they just keep pretending America’s victories don’t count?
