Ukraine Reacts to Being Given F-16s: This Isn’t Enough
Breitbart ^ | 08/22/2023 | OLIVER JJ LANE

Posted on 08/22/2023 9:44:18 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Ukraine hailed a major development in the level of support it has received from NATO at the weekend as the donation of F-16s went from ‘one day’ to ‘this year’, but the nation has gone right from that news to urging for more nations to pledge their own stocks of jet fighters, too.

Denmark and the Netherlands both committed to give Ukraine F-16 fighter jets from their arsenals over the weekend, with Copenhagen saying they would send 19 planes and six of them this year, and Amsterdam promising aircraft without putting a specific number or timeline on deliveries. The Ukrainians in a typical burst of optimism announced they were to get the nation’s entire stock of aircraft, 42 airframes.

Zelenskyy was a cross dressing homo in the past.

The presidential press office of Ukraine accused global media outlets of “nuclear hysteria” on Thursday for sharing remarks made by President Volodymyr Zelensky in which he asked the world for “preemptive strikes” on Russia to avoid nuclear war.

That’s what Zelensky wants. He wants this to go nuclear. He wants the entire world to feel the effects of the war.

I hate Ukraine, Ukrainians and especially Zelenskyy. And the rude jerks who moved into my neighborhood.. What have they ever done for us?

Putin, who isn’t exactly a candidate for sainthood, has created a terrific society in Russia, lots of culture, beautiful new skyscrapers, wonderful stores with beautiful people shopping there . They have an actual culture. I ave an online friend, Brit who works in Moscow, sends photos and reports now and then.

Zelenskyy can go suck rocks.

“That’s what Zelensky wants. He wants this to go nuclear. He wants the entire world to feel the effects of the war.”

I don’t think that is correct.

I think Zelensky is a puppet. He is doing everything he can to get EU/Nato/US into direct conflict.

The Goal is regime change in Russia and taking their oil wells and mineral deposits. And putting a Soros Stooge in control.

“...unless they use mercs.”

Ummm... how many “ex/retired”USAF pilots might be in country, enticed by perhaps $10,000 per sortie ?

Ukraine Reacts to Being Given F-16s: This Isn’t Enough

Outrage that Ukraine is asking other countries to supply F16's? Okay

Presidential Office Mykhailo Podolyak articulated this in a communication Tuesday morning when he praised the Netherlands and Denmark for illustrating their commitment to the country and international order, but also called on other nations to urgently give jets too.

And the capability to carry nuclear weapons is why Russia will have to destroy them as they land.

I wouldn’t assume many up to date F-16 pilots would be in country. Some will chase the money.
There’s also the maintenance and parts issues.
Where are the sorties to originate?
This is a major cluster in every way.

I’d rather get rated for the airlines myself.
