The tricky thing is that, if we’re fighting someone else, like Russia, the F-35 just is the best all-around plane. Heck, “all-around” might not even be needed, there.
The only one threatening us is the country trying to sell us their weapons.
Russias is in too deep in Ukraine and trying to push into other nato nations.
For Russia to get to Canada, they pretty much need to go through Alaska anyways. I’m sure Trumpkin would allow it. I don’t know that the rest of the U.S. military would. At this point though, who knows.
I’m worried about the fascist ugly Americans more so than Russia.
And also, hasn’t Iran proved that they can knock down the f-35s?
Every stealth plane can be targeted if you have an actual visual on it and can send out heat seekers. The point is that they typically can operate much farther away and don’t get seen. But if you have thousands of flights you can just randomly get lucky and spot one. Losing a single plane doesn’t mean anything.
And also, hasn’t Iran proved that they can knock down the f-35s?
They hit one, out of how many that have been openly flying over Iran, day in and day out.
Probably, it managed to fly low over the one tiny patch of land that had a shoulder launched missile operator on it, and did so in broad daylight. That day, remove any of those variables, and the survivability goes from 99.9% to 100%, without even being careful.
If we’re worried about them, anyway.

IF the USA allows those weapons to be used against Russia.

Again, the only single country on the planet threatening Canada is the country trying to sell us the weapons.
Fuck America.
