Sell them to allies. But ever since both Trump and Biden seriously restricted Ukraine from defending itself... let's say the US isn't among the most trusted arms suppliers these days. A lot of soft power, just gone.

I'm from the UK, one of your wealthier allies. We can't afford to buy or operate B-2's. Not sure who could.. Taiwan? Saudi? Israel?
I'm German actually. We used to buy lots of American weapons but ... let's say we are reevaluating priorities at the moment.
Taiwan isn't that wealthy and all bombers all be destroyed by PRC in the first salvo, so not any point in having them.
