Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky is pushing for more security assistance from the U.S. and western allies as his troops face an immense assault from Russian forces in the embattled town of Bakhmut.

In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that aired Wednesday night, Zelensky renewed a plea for the Biden administration to supply F-16 fighter jets as Ukraine struggles to fend off repeated Russian missile strikes on critical infrastructure.

The Ukrainians are a lost cause.

All lies! The Russians can’t mount an offensive. No Ammo.

With the number of leading Democrats who have been paying short visits to Ukraine, which seems to me obviously to pick up their kickbacks in person to avoid a digital trail, not one red cent from American taxpayers should be going there. Enough is enough of this in-your-face corruption.

If your country were at war, you would be out doing the same (OK, any country but the US). Wars are not a time for false pride.

Your pique is silly.

I don’t know why they are asking for F16s. It’s a great airplane but If they really wanted to kick Russia’s ass they would be clamoring for A-10s.

The Blob in Washington won’t allow Ukraine to be a lost cause. They have staked the USA’s and NATO’s reputation on winning in Ukraine, which they define as retaking all territory including Crimea, toppling Putin, humiliating Russia and breaking it up.

Nuland wants to attack Crimea next, and may be getting her way (we’ll see, I guess):

https://asiatimes.com/2023/03/a-coming-wider-war-with-crimea-in-us-sights/

F16s would be needed for that.

We already sent them JADAMs. And very likely JDAM-ERs, too:

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/wing-kits-for-ukraines-jdam-bombs-would-be-a-big-problem-for-russia

Russia considers her warm water port at Sevastopol of existential importance. So, where will all this go? Nuland fantasy come true? Or unleash a nightmare?

Another big chance for the demented pedophile to blow billions more of U.S. taxpayer dollars. It sure would be nice to know where all this money is going once it hits the Ukraine.

When the U.S. Attorney General has to go over there, it sure makes the whole Ukrainian gig stink to high heavens.

Yup. And Ms. Nancy, and “The Big Guy.” All heading over to the war zone in person for no particularly apparent reason.
