Brilliant. So when Russia wins, we’ll have those planes used on us.

Great, now our F-16s will be destroyed by Russia, just like the Patriots.

“A 10 is what they need more.”

Bingo. Far more value and utility for the kind of war going on there.

How about we just give them the money. It’s easier to kickback the cash than an after burner.

I wonder what changed his mind?

Could it be all the glide bombs Russia has been dropping near front line targets the past month? 20-40 a strikes day. Ukraine begging for f-16s to prevent the bombers from getting so close

Russia also has launched a huge number of cruise missiles the past few weeks
Most get shot down but some impacts

Plus many drone attacks

Bottom line is air attacks have increased the past month

Must be worse then we are lead on if Biden suddenly is changing his mind (what’s left of his mind that is)

Because we are not close enough to WWIII for the Democrats.

What the Ukrainians need is for the US to get the hell out of Ukraine before they are ground to dust in the friction zone between the US, Russia and China. The Ukrainians are occupying the killing fields and a bunch of really evil people are making a lot of money off of their destruction.

No, that only works in F-18s. Like in Independence Day.

All of a piece with the grindingly slow and indecisive US response to date. As can be expected of a weak US executive, which is really government by committee.

This, for instance, should have been done a year ago.

But hey, they kept firing Sidewinders multiple times, at a mile-wide spaceship, hoping the next time it would actually penetrate the force-field shield..........

Then, Cousin Eddie flew right in.......
