LOL, sorry
You comment like that's a good thing. Incredible. Like I said, they're pulling boys, old men and women to fight NATO's war for them.
Yes, it must be the fault of those who are helping Ukraine defend itself, not of the Russians who invaded.
Helping Ukraine is one thing, becoming involved is a step we should not go, IMHO.
Is that you, Ben Sasse?
Piss up a rope, neocon warmonger. Yes, go, do that. It’s you and your beloved deep state that loves them some southern invasion and fights to subvert honest elections.
and that’s when the US becomes a legitimate military target
How many of those 7 million eligible are fighting on the Russian side?
Your profound ignorance in these matters is amusing.
They would augment the SAMs, especially the NASAMs.
Some F-16 could orbit at forward locations to intercept cruise missiles before they enter UKR airspace.
Some F-16 could orbit aft of the SAM sites to act as goalies.
The S-300 and Patriot acquisition radars could provide initial vectors for the F-16s.
If F16’s, using AMRAAMs, are used for nothing else but air defense vs cruise missiles they would be entirely worth it.
Absolutely!
“ Defense aircraft operate at high altitude and use look down, shoot down long range missiles to kill ground attack aircraft.
”
The S400s based in Russia that covers all of eastern Ukraine appreciate them going high. Lol
You're reading into my comment, nowhere did I say "that's a good thing". Just pointing out a fact to someone who said "The Ukrainian War is going so well that they have run out of Ukrainians. "
Right, all of them are in russian occupied territories. Continue with the pro-russian propaganda.
That's news to me. Up to this point I'd read that Russia was not flying sorties over Ukraine. Make me wonder why no good old fashioned bombing missions?
My question is who will pay the lease? Oh! That was a stupid question. I lost my head for a minute.
Aaahhh...... Thanks for all that
The Flying Tigers are why Japan attacked America?
They certainly signaled U.S. hostility.
Well, Russian fighting men and pilots killing us in Vietnam and Korea signaled hostility, but we didn’t attack Russia.
We know that Trump wants them to get at least MiG jets, but I think Biden has held them up.
The Russians never admitted to it. The Flying Tigers were open about their citizenship. The fact that the U.S. Government was happy with the arrangement was implicit.
According to the link above, Biden is prohibiting Poland from sending MiG-29s to Ukraine.
Of course, this means all of the russian trolls are Biden supporters.
