Ukraine ping

The innovation is rumored to be Lend Lease, where Ukraine picks what it wants, because it’s a loan, rather than a grant. If this leads to Ukraine getting large quantities of late model equipment rather than clapped-out decades-old gear, it could be a game-changer. Joe Biden has parceled out $100b in grants without handing over a single war plane. If he had sent 500 jet fighters of any kind along with the full panoply of air-launched guided munitiona (HARMs and JDAM kits), the Russians would be back across prewar boundaries.

Oh. I was hoping the innovation would be the articulation of war goals.

Oh please, Ukraine isn’t ever paying back anything. Johnson can’t be that stupid that he thinks we don’t know that.

He is just another lying traitor thinking of his own self. He can rot because he doesn’t care one whit about this country.

We should give Ukraine 20 F-35s with the understanding with have access to the jets through remote control. And we can destroy them if the Russians happen to capture them.

I’m for a modified lend lease but we have so many cluster shells just sitting in storage around the world that could be shipped out to Ukraine immediately. And Ukraine has experience with the old stuff so get it to Ukraine as soon as possible.

Who is supposed to fly these 500 planes? Do we have 500 planes to spare? Get real. Ukraine doesn’t have enough pilots. They’d just get blown up on the ground. Unless you’re wanting to use our kids.

Z’s whole crew! Hah, still riding the carcass I see. Not to fear, your MIC heroes will blunder us into their next misadventure soon enough. We know after 250,000 additional, totally unnecessary deaths since your heroes quashed the peace, your bloodlust has yet to be satiated. They aren’t done yet! More blood and misery on the way for you ghouls to revel in.

Zhang Fei, you seem to know these things.

Some military journos like David Axe say that if Biden wanted he could send expired munitions that still work like 900 expired MGM-140 ATACMS the US has at only the cost of transportation and the transportation could also be taken care of by an allied country.

Do you know if it is really that simple or if David Axe is talking out of his behind?
