I think this is unlikely.

But...I never thought we'd be in this deep either.

There are so many people now who put Ukraine's interests above our own.

“Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Andrii Melnyk, welcomed that announcement but asked allies for the creation of a “fighter jet coalition” that would also provide Ukraine with Eurofighters, Tornados, French Rafales and Swedish Gripen jets.”

None of which Ukrainians are trained to pilot.
No parts, technical know how, or maintenance crews.

They said the same thing about Abrams tanks until recently.

They’ll send them.

He just had a lapse in his memory of who his masters are.

That is if the pig has a memory at all.

If Biden is Denying it, they are getting F-16’s.

Almost everything the guys denies he’ll do, he does.

Pakistan has had F-16’s since the 1980’s.

Uke pilots should be able to figure them out.

Stopping Russia is in our interest. Reagan knew that, why don't you?

Just sending F-16s isn’t going to be a game changer. Much better than what they have, and it would be costly to Russia, but not enough to really shift the balance.

Make no mistake, the US could crush Russia’s air defense systems in Eastern Ukraine and establish air dominance in short order. But that effort would take a whole lot more than a couple dozen F-16s. It would include our most advanced EW, decoys, drones, SOF and stealth. And we would still likely lose a couple squadrons worth of aircraft in doing so. We are not giving Ukraine what would be required to do this. Not even the most current versions of F-16, nor the newest EW PODs or the F-16’s stand off weapons like JASSM, AARGM-ER, JSOW, etc.

We’ll give them enough to make the war a quagmire.

And four months ago he ruled out sending Main Battle Tanks.

The F-16s will be back on the table when his handlers tell him, or he gets a firm commitment on a suitable cash kickback.

Pay Biden enough and he’ll send as many F-16s to Ukraine as they want. Pay him a little more and he’ll send F-35s and F-22s. Buy him dinner and he’ll send a B-1.

“US President Joe Biden has ruled out sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, despite renewed calls from Ukrainian officials for air support.”

...and so more Leftist voices come out and state that he must ‘pay the price’ for the classified documents that he has personal possession of.

Keep in mind Biden also said that he wouldn’t send tanks
