The fighter jets seen in the video are U.S. F-35 supersonic stealth aircraft — the country’s most advanced multirole fighters.

Fuck trump and Putin. But wouldn’t it be pretty standard to escort a foreign head of states aircraft in and out of us airspace?

I would have imagined the advanced stealth F-35s would've stayed out of sight.

The fighter is only that close to help stroke egos.

Yeah that’s fair maybe we could have pulled some f16s put

Mustangs would have been fine.

I'm sure if you'd have asked Ukraine would have lent you some of theirs back. They'd probably even supply them complete with pilots and weapons for no extra cost.

It should also be pretty standard to escort a wanted war criminal to prison, and yet here we are

Feels like it would be a normal thing but we don't hear about the others because they don't brag and aren't dictators, maybe.
