This seems like it could be the greatest idea from the Biden admin yet.

Did I miss a declaration of war somewhere along the line?

The trouble with sending them ‘advanced jets’ is a lot of what makes them ‘advanced’ is classified tech and will have to be removed, making them ‘no so advanced’.

Yeah, Russia didn't issue one. They called it a Special Military Action.

The West is not fighting. We're simply providing arms. Don't need a declaration of war for that.

And given that Congress voted to provide $40 billion for Ukraine, it wouldn't be hard to get a declaration of war if we need one in the future.

Wouldn’t the Russians just hit the runways with cruise missiles? Maybe a Harrier jump jet might make a better surplus fighter for Ukraine.

I don’t know how helpful accelerated training in Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity will be.

Is this a reflection on the quality of the Russian Air Force and pilots that we would consider this as doable?

Would we try this against a high quality air force?

They want a nuclear war so badly they can taste it.

Gotta pretend the other guy started it, though.

U.S. forces are now considering sending fighter jets to Ukraine

Plus all the maintainers who know how to keep them flying, plus all the spare parts necessary for the maintainers to do their jobs?

“This seems like it could be the greatest idea from the Biden admin yet”.

If you want a nuclear war. Not to mention more depletion of our inventory.

We will even supply the pilots and backseaters if they say “pretty please”.

Saw it in reverse in Korea and VN.

I think some of these war mongering geniuses in Washington are working on it. What better way to win an election than to start a war.

Good point.

It seems that it would be an act of war if there was no declaration of war first. As in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Good point.

And the majority of the inventory can’t be replaced overnight.

Another thing is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It must be very low by now. And I can guarantee that Biden will not pump extra oil to re-fill it.
