"We continue our meaningful dialogue with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof, following our meeting in Munich,” the Ukrainian leader said.

“An important conversation about a just end to the war and strengthening European unity."

The Netherlands is shifting to the F-35, and is looking to transfer its remaining fleet of F-16s to Ukraine. The transfer requires U.S. approval. The approval (or non-approval) will signal the new reality in Washington as to whether the U.S. will continue to be the leader of the free world or whether the democratic countries of Europe will have to fend for themselves. The Netherlands and other European countries could shift to the Eurofighter Typhoon or the French Rafale, instead of U.S. weapon systems.

I don’t hear much of the existing F-16s in Ukraine. Are they really there?

probably blown up on their first flight, or fake like the clips at the start of the war that were actually from a video game. The ukraine war has just been a huge scam using the same russia hoax hysteria. Tulsi herself said ukraine had several biolabs. We know there’s massive child trafficking in ukraine and hunter on the board of burisma is just the tip of the deep state corruption there. It’s just a playground for the deep state to commit all sorts of evil and money laundering. But “muh russia” hysteria gets the dummies all worked up and waving ukraine flags and demanding we push 100 billion dollars out the door to fagboy non-christian zelensky. My message to the neoCON ukraine war cheerleaders is ##### you. It’s the same mentality of the karens pushing covid vaccines and masks. Not optional. Mandatory! No debate, no discussion, no personal choice. You do what we say or else.

Sick stuff.

***********************************************************

Now that you mention it I don’t recall reading anything about the Ukrainian F-16s actually being used for combat in Ukraine. If the F-16s are actually somewhere in Ukraine, perhaps they are simply not be deployed on actual military missions?

Is there any reasonably reliable reporting out there as to any impact from F-16s that have already been delivered and pilots trained to fly them in Ukraine? Have they been able to assist meaningfully in any successful missions against Russian forces?

The war is over, Holmes.
There will be no jet delivery for you to sell.

A handout picture made available by the Presidential Press Service shows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaking to servicemen next to an American single-engine supersonic multirole fighter F-16 jet during a ceremony to mark Air Force Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at an undisclosed location in Ukraine, 4 August 2024.

US, along with a few others like Hungary, might be all that is left of the free world.

Europe and UK are worse than Russia and they can go take care of themselves.

Two bit grifter Zelensky can suck up to those losers all he likes and Ukraine still won’t win nor will it be free.

Netherlands sends another batch of F-16 fighters to Ukraine On Feb 6, 2025

The Netherlands had pledged 24 F-16s to Ukraine, with the first jets originally slated for delivery in October 2024. But the actual number of fighters already transferred is a tightly kept secret—one of many surrounding Ukraine’s growing F-16 fleet.

BobL, you are apparently forgetting that Russia blew up all the F-16s before they were delivered.

Ditto M1 Abrams and M2 Bradleys.

Say after me: Russia alone beat Germany during WWII. Lend lease from the U.S. was nothing. Russia was never an ally of Germany. Russia was not defeated by Poland in 1920. Russia did not lose to Japan in 1904. Repeat until you believe.

Hi Captn. Unlike in your beloved Russia, where “news” is a product of the government, we have free media in the west. This may appear to be a curse as well as a blessing. We often get alternate stories and have to figure out what is the truth. But, we citizens of free countries are used to competing news media (also to government officials having a bad hair day), and generally we can figure things out.

Hi dforest. I suppose you are posting from your beloved Russia and not from a decadent western country. So, I will inform you what we do when our government isn’t so good. We defeat that government in the next election. Yeah, we have elections in the west, and frequently one government is replaced by another. Also, our leaders aren’t dictators. When President Trump says something stupid, like Ukraine started the war, we just shake our head. We don’t agree with him like he was God. Maybe he was having a bad hair day. Maybe we agree to disagree with him on this particular issue.

I applauded President Trump’s attempt to get North Korea to de-nuke during his first term. Trump didn’t succeed, but he tried.

Same thing with President Trump trying to bring peace to Ukraine with a deal all the parties involved can agree to. He might not succeed, but he is trying.

The approval (or non-approval) will signal the new reality in Washington as to whether the U.S. will continue to be the leader of the free world or whether Russia changes from a gas station with nuclear weapons and 3d world status back to a major power backed by the US.

Maybe Dick Schoof is rolling in money - like Biden and his goons were.. to hell with the people, right? Let’s all chip in and help corrupt little hellholes that ‘give’ jobs to ‘elites’ like Hunter...

I don’t know if I would refer to Holland and Ukraine as the free world.

Exactly, PIF, the Netherlands has put the ball into our side of the court.

“I don’t know if I would refer to Holland and Ukraine as the free world.”

Is this because you afraid of being pushed off a tall building?

After it’s most recent election, Holland formed a four-party coalition involving the populist-right Party of Freedom (Geert Wilders’ party), and three center-right parties. This coalition is kind of like the Republican Party in the U.S., with its mix of populists and tradition conservatives.

Ukraine is operating under martial law. So, democracy is suspended and civil liberties are restricted. With a peace deal, hopefully soon, there will be a restoration of democracy and civil liberty.
