    easily close to a decade to replace.

    For a nation with the money and manpower to actually build them. Not ones that can only afford to upcycle 5 fossils each decade with a new gun/missile silo and (maybe) coat of paint.

      Rust can be protective.There’s brown rust, orange rust, fast rust, slow rust. Wire wheels are expensive.

          Anyway, like I was sayin’, rust is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. Dey’s uh, rust-kabobs, rust creole, rust gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple rust, lemon rust, coconut rust, pepper rust, rust soup, rust stew, rust salad, rust and potatoes, rust burger, rust sandwich. That- that’s about it.
