Both insane and ridiculous. Insane in that this is direct involvement. Ridiculous because no matter what jets are given to the Ukes, they can’t just hop in and be effective in them. Even the Polish Mig 29s have all kinds of electronics in them that is not original to the planes....and which the Ukes don’t have. It takes pilots a good bit of time to learn a new aircraft, new systems etc etc. The planes without the Western pilots in them would not be that militarily useful to the Ukes.
Imho?
A bonehead idea.

"SUGGESTING", sheesh, at least he could "strongly" suggest. These morons won't be happy until people start freezing in their homes and get stranded in their cars and energy is up 300%
And that is different from having US pilots and aircraft do such....how? Being that Ukraine is in the middle if a war with Russia, doing such could be considered aid. If the planes were supplied during peacetime, that would be different.
If they're so gung ho, they should be honest and vote on a declaration of war.
Craven is the word that comes to mind.
House Republicans, doing their best to suppress the midterm vote. Good luck!
They have all lost their minds!!!!!!
Foolish.
LOL. And exactly which airfield are these jets going to fly sorties from? What are they going to use for fuel, mutations, ground crews? What is going to prevent those jets from being destroyed on the ground after missions? Why not put those billions of dollars in a big pile and set it on fire? At least it would provide warmth to someone.
Enough poking the bear. There is NO UPSIDE for the United States in Ukraine. NONE.
Seems as though this will only prolong the death and destruction. Steve Harrigan, upon his return from the Ukraine, said “Ukraine is a Done Deal. It’s Flattened and They Lost”
The Republicans right on time, jump in to prolong the war and lose the elections.
April 1, 2021 this started.
Biden called Putin a Killer as Russian troops were there and growing in numbers.
This month 2022 Yellen gives Putin 18 billion dollars.
We are funding both sides in this war.
WW3
Who's gonna pay for the F-16? But you gotta admit it's a sweetheart deal for the Poles, to trade in 30 year old MiG-29s for 20 year old F-16s.
You realize, of course, that Family Biden Crime Corporation is caught between a rock and a hard place, with no room to maneuver. Having taken approximately equal bribes from both sides in this conflict, from each of Russian and Ukrainian sources, they are left to judge their next actions on the merits of the case.
The case seems to be absent in any merit whatsoever. Best course of action (for the Bidens), no action at all, just let everybody else get sucked into the maelstrom.
The crocodile may yet eat them last.
Excellent, these Republicans should all be given the Honor of mandatory occupancy of the second seat in said fighter jets.

Can anyone around here remember the last time that the Neo-Cons and chickenhawks didn’t prevail in foreign policy? And before you say “Afghanistan:, don’t forget we were there for 19 years. And before you say that “the Neo-Cons want actual war with Russia”, well...they just might get it at this rate.
Do any of the Ukrainian pilots have any time in F-16s/22s/35s? Or are we providing them MiGs?
How times have changed. In 1940 and 1941 the United States supplied Britain — which was at war with Germany — with a whole lot of military aircraft, and we weren’t at war with anyone until three weeks before the end of 1941.
their sons and dtr first, and they themselves can ride in the back....
Concentrate on my collapsing country you s@#theads! Don’t help the Democrats protect their money laundering operations in Ukraine! I am disgusted. Never again will a Republican get my vote after today.
They don’t care a bit about our borders, our cultural rot, our unsustainable spending and soon to be cratering of the petrodollar worldwide.
I will say no more because I don’t want my comment deleted.
So angry.
Who is going to fly them into Ukraine? Where would they take off from within Ukraine given that most airfields have been destroyed?
How do they propose to get our jets into the war without making the USA a participant in it?
