Spicoli doesn't seem to understand that Moscow Joe is personally making sure that Ukraine doesn't get jet fighters. Just throwing it out there, but wasn't Ukraine the place where an evil genius billionaire with a suitcase of money would go to buy jets? Maybe if it wasn't, they'd still have jets.

They still do, but they started out with a 1:10 inferiority in numbers vs Russia, and they’re getting worn down. I’d think an evil genius billionaire would be better off shopping in Russia - much bigger weapon stores spread out over a larger area and much more corrupt. The problem for Putin is that a good chunk of Russia’s equipment stores are just piles of rust that crumble to the touch. The money was appropriated, and money changed hands, but the maintenance wasn’t done.
