Russia needs this generation’s equivalent to Boris Yeltsin.

Russia is in dire need of a change.

I don’t understand why Rob Portman hasn’t packed his bags and gone to Ukraine to fight for the Zelensky regime.

Let’s re-institute the draft. Just for politician’s sons and daughters.

Poland is not supplying any pilots. That being said, I wonder if Ukraine has enough pilots, airfields and infrastructure to keep those planes flying regular sorties.

One topic on a very long list of things Portman seems to not understand.

These kinds of politicians are frightening. They know nothing about provocations which can easily lead to huge numbers of additional casualties and more destruction.

Give someone a fully-armed MIG-29 and he will immediately start killing people with it.

Lunacy. That is not DE-escalation.

As a young Jenny asked a young Forest Gump, “Are you stupid or something?”

Xi has already told Joe “no” to any actual usable aid to the Ukrainian forces. That would be “an act of war”, doncha know.

You see, the CCP is on the side of Putin in this confrontation, and by extension, the Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime is also at Putin’s side. At least Putin has Joe and “Que mala” scared to the point of soiling their underwear, and they dare not cross him at this point.

That might mean the the US would have to (gasp!) start pumping their own oil.

I watched as a kid the resupplying of North Vietnam by USSR and China and I never heard Walter Cronkite once assert that this effort to reprovision the North Vietnam with weapon etc. could start WWIII.

Because he’s an idiot

He's not the only one either....something like 40 GOP Senators voiced their support for the idea.

Maybe Sen Portman can lead the way. Ask the Air Force to give him some quick flying lessons and he can head on over there. Show the country and the world what a leader he is.

These people have ZERO problems sending kids to into battle in a war that isn’t ours.

LOL. Transferring MIGS to Ukraine is NOT DIRECT INVOLVMENT. Even Putin would probably complain but agree.

Funny you mention that. The politicians in Ukraine when under threat of war take up arms and go home to fight and shoot at the enemy.

American politicians have a safe bunker retreat at a taxpayer maintained country club with waiters and dry cleaning services to hide out in.

'Nuff said about the American body politic.

You are of course correct. What is really a shame is that they don’t have to live by the same rules as the rest of us and don’t have to face us on a regular basis.

What he said proves how dumb he is.

Why do these fools want to go to war?

The MSM are liars. It wasn’t Poland’s proposal. Poland threw the Biden’s administration proposal back in their face.

Biden is just worried they may be left behind when this is all over.
