Now that Ukraine is finally getting the tanks it wants, it's already looking for the next big thing — fighter jets

Ukraine is finally getting the Western-made tanks that it wants, but there's still a few big items on its wishlist. Kyiv says the next thing it wants is fighter jets.

"We have new tasks ahead: Western-type fighter jets, sanctions, Peace Formula implementation," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said after Germany announced on Wednesday it would send Leopard 2 main battle tanks, a decision that followed weeks of mounting pressure by European countries.

Yuriy Sak, an advisor to the Ukrainian defense minister, concurred, telling Reuters that "the next big hurdle will now be the fighter jets." Some others, however, have pointed to long-range missiles.

Russia didn’t start it but they may end it to the demise of Ukraine.

I don’t know about Deniece but I saw recently that Johnny was performing, at 87! World class singer.

Long ago, and once a few years ago, I played for this guy who is considered a world class singer. Here he is on his recent 74th birthday, being introduced by Ray Stevens, of all people.

Kiev is a Russian city. Putin is never going to nuke it.

Tanks and jet planes use prodigious amounts of fuel. What are the logistics in Ukraine for supplying Jet fuel and diesel? Will they even be able to keep these beasts moving?

Russia, when they get to nukes, will first, from home base, take out every US base they can.

From the belgorod sub, off the east coast now, they can take out six large coastal areas, DC, whatever,
The nuclear torpedoes are not detected by us, nor is the sub. The belgorod is in place right now awaiting orders.

That navy frigate with nukes, mach 9, will probably hang out in the Pacific.

Life as we know it will be gone in about five minutes.

They won’t nuke Kiev though.
Putin has said this many times.

There are pretty many Romanian Orthodox churches downstate.

I wonder why so many cars.

Gross exaggeration on Russia’s nuclear submarine capabilities.

My grandson served five years on the nuclear sub, USS Jimmy Carter.

Do you think our boys are just sitting around out there twiddling their thumbs?

Why do I think I’ve seen this picture before. First it’s weapons, then advisors then full blown “Bay of Tonkin” incident and then all bets are off.

Wait a second. I thought Russia was on the ropes months ago, the Russian Army was deserting, and Putin was on the verge of being taken out by his own inner circle.

Why do they need more squadrons of tanks and jets and $$$Billions$$$? Just send them popcorn, champagne, and balloons for their Victory Parade!

They got enough of our money already, why don’t they build their own equipment?
