KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukraine’s defence minister expressed confidence Sunday that Western allies would agree to the country’s latest weapons request – warplanes to fight off Russian forces that invaded nearly a year ago.

Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov told a news conference in Kyiv that Ukraine has already received everything from its “wish list to Santa,” except planes.

“There will be planes, too,” Reznikov predicted. “The question is just what kind exactly…. Consider that this mission is already completed.”

OK...Who the H*ll is winning this “war”????

One minute I hear Ukraine is kicking butt...The next minute Russia has all but demolished Ukraine...

Ukraine is winning....
Russia is winning....
Ukraine is losing....
Russia is losing....

The ONLY people I see losing is the American people losing billions of dollars that is being given to this “war”....

Between you and me, I don’t think WWIII is a good idea.

Since money was appropriated for this training @7 months ago, I suspect there’s been training going on for a while.

The A10 is not well set up to deal with intense air defense environments.

You are correct.

I would add that UKR needs an aircraft that can intercept and shoot down cruise missiles at night.

The A-10 cannot do that.

F-16s can.

Come on fathers, and don’t hesitate
To send your sons off before it’s too late
And you can be the first ones in your block
To have your boy come home in a box

Welcome to the fog of war.
And you are looking at competing propaganda machines.
As in every war ever.

All is as usual. So deal.

Right up to when war comes to you, as in, possibly, the coming US Civil War. Then you might sing some other song?

They already have the Russian counterpart to the A-10 - the SU-25.

No, just a lifetime of interest in these matters.

You can look up US stocks of stuff and figure whats “active” and in reserve. Like plain old wiki.

https://en.m.wiki2.org/wiki/List_of_equipment_of_the_United_States_Army

If you dont like wiki you can track the cite back to the source, which is normally a compilation from some source like

“The Military Balance” from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Institute_for_Strategic_Studios

or, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janes_Information_Services

We are witnessing the downfall of American military power and economic bullying power. Those jets and tanks, if they’re sent, stand about as much of a chance of survival as that Chinese balloon!

No, I wont. With some luck my kids wont either.

The right way to deal with that sort of problem is to be somewhere else. Got that covered.

My point is that your bit of rhetoric is situational. And you will turn on a dime, on those sentiments, most people do.

Sit down and analyze whats in your own head. Play out scenarios. How will you feel about X? or Y? Be curious.

You dont need drone-bombs to blow up illegal aliens.

You need border guards that will do what they are supposed to.
And that goes back to them getting the right orders from their boss. He wont give those orders. Its a political problem, its YOUR political problem.

Yes I know its frustrating but the solution isnt to fantasize about mass murder.
