They certainly seem to want chaos. Peaceful contentment is the enemy of power.

They’ve already labelled all Trump supporters as supporters of Putin.

I thought Jo Jo and Camela gave all our jets to the Taliban when we ran away from Afghanistan.

Oddly and against all common sense - the UAF is still largely intact with several SU-24s and 25s attacking the legendary Russian convoy. So they must have air fields and maintenance available.

If Biden was certain Russians were going to invade weeks ago, why is he doing this now? ... Incompetent fool.

Amen. This seems way too little, too late.

about that convoy from pentagon reporter Lucas Tomlinson:

@LucasFoxNews
It’s been three days since Pentagon first called the long Russian military convoy outside Ukraine’s capital ‘stalled.’ Many now wondering where the Russian soldiers are. U.S. officials think ‘something must be wrong.’

That’s just dumb. Doesn’t anyone remember Dougie Masters and his F-16? All they will need to switch over to a new plane is a knee board cassette player with their fave tunes so they get the flow. All pro pilots know about the cockpit flow, most people think it has to do with checklists and switches. But it’s actually more of a natural mystical musical kind of vibe.

Give ‘em the 29s, and I’ll go grab some popcornz.

(This is a time to ponder WWII German aces running up hundreds of kills and judging it almost infanticide)

Forget the entire fighter jet. I never received an offer from the government for a 30 minute joy ride in a fighter jet. And I am writing a income tax check this year larger than average family income in US. Why does corrupt Ukraine (remember Burisma connection with Hunter Biden?) get fighter jets with my tax dollars?

I mean, I know it's not some kind of brilliant observation, but we are now in the era of perpetual global crisis. Thank God I'm gedtting old enough not to care, just like I didn't care how many people died of Covid.

Maybe that's what they want?

The UAF pilots have ZERO training flying anything other than Russian made planes.

A-10s would be useless to them and no parts ammo trained mechanics etc. SU-25s are the Russian ‘equivalent’ of A-10s

MiG-29s are air superiority fighters

That’s the excuse for Putin to start shooting at Poles.

I fear that too. And I think NATO would then have to defend Poland. And with the US in Poland, what a grand opportunity for China to finally try to take Taiwan.

Russia us going to cut off the south with occupation of Odessa, advance to Moldova and cut off supplies from the west with the help of Belarus.

That's about ... 2-3 million people in Kyiv with no food, water, electricity, sewage, medicine or fuel.... think of whatever city you live near or in... and think of how long they would last with no food, fuel, water, or medicine delivery...

You can have jets, missiles, guns etc.... but without food and water... they don't work very well.

They are screwed. Brave but ...screwed.

I’d be happy if the government just gave me a free rocket launcher.

Lelt me get this straight: no USA fighter jets in Ukraine, Correct?

Then what the hell was this all about?

“The F-15C Eagle fighter aircraft have been deployed to Starokostiantyniv Air Base, Ukraine, to participate
On exercise Clear Sky 2018
On Oct. 6, 2018 F-15C fighters from the California Air National Guard’s 144th Fighter Wing (FW) landed for the first time ever today on Ukrainian soil.
The Eagles in fact have been deployed to Starokostiantyniv Air Base, Ukraine, to participate in exercise Clear Sky 2018 a joint and multinational exercise that will involve personnel from nine nations, including Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

those Russian marines have been sitting in those ships off Odessa for days

There is a Ukrainian mechanized unit in the area to block the landing, I guess they are waiting for air power to take out that unit
