The United States and allies are starting to examine possible training for Ukrainian pilots as part of a long-term effort to potentially help Kyiv build a future Ukrainian air force, Air Force Chief of Staff General Charles "CQ" Brown told Reuters.

With the West's provision of anti-aircraft weaponry, Ukraine has been able to prevent Russia from using its far more advanced air force to establish dominance in the skies since Moscow's invasion began on Feb. 24.

What are the Russians going to put the war on pause until we can train these pilots?

You can pretend Ukraine isn’t in NATO, but they aren’t fooling anyone. WWIII anyone?

Hard to see Ukraine, in any form, can be allowed to exist by the Russians, given that the Neocons are now ruling out future neutrality for the country.

I guess Russia will have to divide up and parcel out what was Ukraine.

CONTINUOUS ESCALATION!

Even worse, an immoral Woke US military advising a woke left wing Ukie military will have disastrous results. When does this clown show end? I know the answer, total defeat for those spreading their immoral agenda. The Ukie war cheerleaders are in for a huge disappointment.

I was at Lackland AFB when we were training The Shah of Iran's Air Force.   When I had base liberty one evening I watch a baseball game with a large group of them.   They were good people.   I hope they got out of Iran before it fell to the Islamists.

Wait’ll the Ukie pilots find out that they have to wear high heels in the “cockpit” - while they’re learning the new US Air Force maneuver “The Woke Flounce”...

How about trying to take orders from a mentally ill trans commander, or XO? How about taking orders from your CO knowing he is married to another man?
The destruction is nearly complete.

Leaked Polish Ministry papers show that exactly…20,000 Poles to be deployed in the old Poland territories in Ukraine as “ Peacekeepers “. Do realize the West is actively planning for a Ukie land carve up….given the current situation, they had better hurry.

The proxy war continues. We already know “retired” US Armed forces are in country, “training” but they really are not retired and they really are not training. Some have been taken prisoner. This is no different than Viet Nam. This is how it begins.......Again

Its basically on pause now as your best buds regroup and wonder whether to switch to a strategic defense and ponder their weakening position in the Kherson region.

There’s a lot of wishful thinking going into drawing the lines of “New Russia” that map.
