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

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.

That list of names plus the big diaper are the reason I don’t support Ukraine. They are all our enemies.

Just a few hundred thousand more dead Ukrainians and we will have the Russians right where we want them.

The lights are going out in Western Europe and they will freeze to death this winter but it’s all for a “good cause.”

Zelensky outlawed his political opposition and seized all Ukraine media outlets. He wants the world to see his “democracy” at work.

There’s nothing funnier than watching a bunch of goofyass Snowflakes and Disney Evil Princesses wage a war.

U.S.Planes mean U.S. pilots. If Congress has the Balls to declare war, then do it. Otherwise , no more of these police actions like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Congress can send their own damn kids to die.

This Alabama boy has ridden by the boneyard several years ago. Whole lots of used/scrap/ parts airplanes. Hard to imagine unless you have seen it . . . and I could only view it from riding down the road.

Yes. Russia has also obviously been supplying China, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Syria and other terrorist and communist nations with weapons and other military and government support for a long time.

Once Putin solidifies things in the Donbass and declares an end to major operations, that is the moment of greatest risk.

If things were allowed to settle down, even a little, then the neocons.. et al, would be seen as losers... their fragile egos can’t take it.

Look for false-flags.

IMO, most likely a dirty device scare (the strange PSA in NYC seems aimed at a dirty attack and not a city-buster)

Also, perhaps a false flag designed to make it look like Putin is using food as a weapon, In such a scenario ports might be a target.

It’s all predictable, unfortunately...

God help us...

This business will get out of hand...

Very good. Thanks.

I overheard a conversation between two men and it was easy to see they were liberals. One said Biden needs to get real and deal with inflation. The other one got very upset and said “it is not right to criticize him. We need to trust him”. He was really upset that the other would say something like that. I had to leave but the tension between the two was serious. It is a sign that some are getting more irrational, even among themselves.

It’s like it’s intentional; they want Putin to cut off more gas and oil to the European Union.

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

According to Ezekiel 38, G-d is doing that--not us. And according to Zechariah 14, He will also send "consternation" or "tumult" (confusion, illogical thinking,...) to all of the people in the nations who oppose his original and unchanged (Malachi 3:6) plan for Israel.

So each and every person will choose one side or the other (Zechariah 12:9) before the rebuilding of the Temple and G-d's arrival to rule this planet and universe (what many of the people in each and every major religious faction try to avoid believing).

If I would have to make a bet, I would bet that Russia is not about to give up on Ukraine. It’s no longer about Ukraine but Washington against Mocow. Unfortunately, in the process and in the meantime Ukraine gets demolished.

"U.S.Planes mean U.S. pilots."

The U.S. and other nations have been training Ukrainian pilots for a long time.

But I don’t fit in or under that desk anymore.
