Senate urges Pentagon to consider deploying warplanes to Ukraine, fighter pilot highlights 'urgent need'
Fon News ^ | 7/20/22 | Caitlin McFall

Posted on 07/20/2022 1:24:50 PM PDT by JonPreston

In the letter sent Monday, Sens. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., Roger Wicker, R-Miss., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Robert Portman, R-Ohio, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., urged the Pentagon to increase the speed at which it was deploying the defensive aid agreed to in May under the $20 billion "Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations" package.

"While the medium- and long-range air defense capabilities and HIMARS included in the June 27, 2022, and July 8, 2022 aid packages are a good start, these systems must be delivered at a pace and in quantity sufficient to impact the outcome of the fighting in the Donbas, Kherson and other regions," the senators wrote in the letter obtained by Fox News Digital.

Why doesn't that surprise me. These people are cavalierly getting us into a World War III with a nuclear Russia.

(clowns are under some dark spell)

When mentioned that it reminded me of a set of verses leading up to Armageddon. Now this actually happens right near the end of the 7 years.

Revelation 16:13-16
King James Version

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

These clowns do not realize they are pushing Russia to Iran which will set up Ezekiel 38.

They had plenty of chances to avoid conflict, but murdering and raping for 8 years in the east and being the most corrupt country going was a recipe from disaster. You know it’s bad when Russia is far less corrupt than them.

“...consider fourth-generation fighter aircraft and necessary flight training” to be included in upcoming military aid packages.”

Insanity. At what point do we conclude that we are in a war with Russia?

These people are insane.

OFFS. Russia and Iran have been buds for decades.

OH ...they do realize it. There is no doubt in my mind they realize it.

I keep pointing out their little climate doomsday clock is ticking down...ever wonder what happens when they reach that 7 year mark?

Satan grows very restless and when this is all loosed upon the earth...well let’s just say, I hope I’m not here any more.

Ukraine ping

The Russians were extremely generous in their provision of both jet fighters and pilots to their North Korean ally. Literally dozens of Russian aces were created at the expense of many hundreds of US pilots.

The Russian defense of Chinese supply lines likely led to the deaths of thousands of GI’s. That stubborn defense meant the Chinese were resupplied with food, equipment and ammunition, and the kinds of supply interdiction operations that literally starved Japanese forces during WWII were ineffective.

Russia out of Ukraine.

Most of what was Ukraine is now Russia anyway. And if Ukraine doesn't negotiate a cease fire soon, they will no longer exist at all. Ask me if I care one way or the other.

Let the good senators volunteer their own services on the front if they feel so strongly about it.

*************

Just as they love to spend other peoples’ money they love to send other peoples’ kid off to wars. As long as it doesn’t require any sacrifice on their part they’re all for it.

We have to stop putting these corrupt senators in office.

Absolutely correct.

I think the poster meant ‘to more drastic action’ meaning the hook in the jaw towards Israel.

Time will tell.

2. Syria
4. Venezuela
5. Afghanistan
5. North Korea
5. Yemen
8. Equatorial Guinea

2. Colombia
3. Mexico
4. Brazil
5. Russia
6. Guatelama
7. Kazakhstan
8. Lebanon
9. El Salvador

IMO, Russia will not ‘settle’ in Ukraine till every Neo-Nazi is destroyed and/or captured. War planes will do squat.
