Ukraine will now push for F-16 fighter jets, government adviser says
The Hill ^ | 1/25/23 | Brad Dress

Yuriy Sak, an adviser to Ukraine’s defense secretary, told The Hill that he was optimistic about receiving western fighter jets such as the American F-16s, which Ukrainians have sought since early last year when Russia first invaded.

“Every type of weapon we request, we needed yesterday,” Sak said. “We will do everything possible to ensure Ukraine gets fourth-generation fighter jets as soon as possible.”

Reuters first reported the news that Ukraine was setting its sights on fighter jets.

Ukraine scored a major win on Wednesday with the announcement from President Biden that the U.S. will donate 31 American-made M1 Abrams main battle tanks to Kyiv.

Western fighter jets and longer-range artillery units, which would allow Ukraine to strike Russian forces deeper in occupied territory, will likely be the next debate for NATO.

The warmongers are going to have their world war come hell or high water and unknowingly help the WEF fools reduce the world wide population to near nothing in the process.

Next up the warmonger Republican neocons, Democrats and deep state fools will hand over an Ohio Class boomer to their next George Washington Zelenskey, with all it’s nuclear SLBM’s, what could possibly go wrong?

Eff It....Just send in the 10th Mtn Division, 1st Armored Division and all the USAF assets in Europe. Get it over with.

Only folks that are suffering are the people of Ukraine. And all the idiots that are supporting this BS are the ones cheering on the suffering of those people.

All while life, quietly goes on in Moscow and other parts of Russia.

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham will be more than happy to get that conversation going.

I wonder how much they can sell an F-16 for? More money for the Swiss bank accounts.

Why not an SSBN? We’ve got plenty and we’ve never used a single one of them in combat.

Slovakia volunteered about 30 Mig29s and the Polish ones are still on the table as well.

Since we’re mothballing them, maybe we will.

Hooray!

More escalation.

More war.

More spending.

More debt.

And more shafting of the American taxpayer!

This is a profoundly bad idea.

The tanks too.

World War V begins now.

“Only folks that are suffering are the people of Ukraine.”

They were invaded. Sounds like you would be all for them just meekly submitting. Maybe if some thugs broke into your house and started raping your wife, you could just tell her to meekly submit.

My God, the emasculation of the American male continues apace.
