Ukraine Shoots Down Its Own F16

Zelenskyy Dismisses Ukrainian Air Force Chief After Deadly F-16 Crash The Ukrainian Air Force saw a setback on Aug. 26 when it lost an F-16 fighter jet andWestern-trained pilot.

From all my sources, Zelensky is just an absolute piece of shit, and that gives a shit a bad name. He responded to criticism that Ukraine shot down its own F16 by firing the head of the Ukrainian Air Force. How dare he blame Ukraine and criticize Ukraine’s air defense for shooting down their F16 in “friendly fire.” Zelensky has refused to admit anything.

All the sources say it was a friendly fire. The Russians would have made a big deal out of it if they shot it down. So the F16 just crashed for no reason? Zelensky refused even to explain his reasoning.

Zelensky fires Ukraine's military chief in majorshakeup nearly two years into war.

He also fired his major military commander for criticizing him. This is a character pattern that Zelensky displays. He is always trying to project himself as a great military leader.

As I have said before, if he is assassinated, it will be by Ukrainians. That’s why his real bodyguards are Americans – he does not trust Ukrainians, who, I have been told, if he were on fire, would not urinate on him until he was dead. He has created his own dictatorship prohibiting elections as long as the war continues. Yet, he is fighting for democracy and freedom?

Zelensky cheers the destruction of Ukraine. He is pitching to spend trillions to rebuild Ukraine, telling everyone this will be the greatest European Investment of the century. The smart Ukrainians have opened their eyes to the fact that he is just a profiteer.

He instigated the war. The day before, to ensure that Putin would cross the border, he stood up and declared that Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons. He knew that would force Putin to come in just as the US had to respond to Cuba.

Zelensky faces outpouring of criticism over failure to warn of war. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/18/zelensky-ukraine-wapo-interview-warn-of-war/

Worse still, he had the intelligence from the Americans and knew when Putin would enter. He admitted to the Washington Post that he did NOT warn the people because it would have cost him $7 billion. He wanted as many civilians to be killed as possible so he could claim Russia is evil and the invasion was UNPROVOKED, which the left-wing press keeps reporting because they love war and will cheer when Americans come back in body bags. CNN will return to the ratings they once had with the Gulf War.

Zelensky is all about the show. How dare the head of the Air Force admit the truth? How will Zelensky keep the billions flowing if the West realizes it is not competent to handle the weapons we provide?

The fools on Capitol Hill wanted to put a marble bust of Zelensky alongside George Washington. At least they would not throw Washington in the garbage – not yet, maybe after the election. The conservatives were outraged over this promotion.

Alex noted that it too 3 or 4 DAYS for Ukraine to even admit they lost the plane (the pilot’s funeral even took place during that time), and then they only admitted it AFTER the WSJ was going to run the story, anyway.

So whatever they’re claiming today, or yesterday, or tomorrow, is likely not the truth, or anything close to the truth.

The F16 was gifted too. Even if indirectly with taxpayer funds we sent them.

"Ukraine shoots down US Taxpayers’ F-16"

If it's any consolation, US taxpayers also paid for the missile that shot it down.

Biden, Victoria Nuland and every single neocon in position of power is every bit as much to blame for the debacle in Ukraine as Zelensky.

They all wanted a proxy war with Russia, stupidly, thinking they could win it.

It's telling how silent the Zeepers have been lately. Have they finally realized Ukraine has lost and it isn't getting any territory back?

And, for all the lies about Russian losses, Russia is huge winner in this war. The Russians will walk away with the most productive part of Ukraine and have added, perhaps, ten million people to their population.

And also paid the 3-letter-agency contractors who fired the missile.

Senile Joe’s Afghanistan debacle will be peanuts compared to senile Joe’s Ukrainian war debacle…..as we are witnessing….it sparked our fall, end of US hegemony….however, that’s a good thing.

Them war cheerleaders really know how to pick them.

The Ukie F-16 shoot down by US supplied weapons had laughable symbolism.
….being an enemy of the US is dangerous, being a friend is fatal….snicker, snicker, all day long.
