From the article: "Should Western jets eventually make their way to Ukraine, it would mark the latest instance where Ukraine has asked the US and allies for weapons and, after some time, got what it requested. This pattern has been seen with rocket artillery, high-profile air defense systems, armored fighting vehicles, and, most recently, tanks."

Spread the word.

Some others, however, have pointed to long-range missiles.

I suspect that the answer to long-range missiles for the Ukraine would be the old man in the tall hat standing above Kiev and Lvov...

do we have any F4s left over from
VietNam?

Find someone to love and spoil you the way our establishment types love and spoil Ukraine.

I can’t see any reason for Russia to apologize if they retaliate against us.

[impactplayer]

They will walk us right into war with Russia - just a question of time now.

The pattern of comments on FR has been consistent in each instance, too... Not much out-of-the-box thinking going on around here. :-(

This is pretty much how a NATO v Russia war will play out. Certain Eastern European nations will be the ones providing the ground troops. A big difference right now is there is no air support and that, in a NATO war, will be handled by U.S and other western nations. Also, Russian targets would expand beyond Ukraine and vise versa. It could happen.

II saw an interview with an experienced special ops contractor Team Leader who stated he had no clue why Russia was NOT using their sophisticated jets and bombers.

well it's pretty obvious , DUH !

Russia does not want to draw the US into an air war over Ukraine

[Pollard]

Just give them back the nukes and lets him and you fight.

The call for modern fighters and more advanced weapons for Ukraine is not new. Sean Penn was on Hannity on April 6 of last year calling for training Ukrainian pilots on F-16s.

The issue are when the war started, everyone expected Ukraine to collapse in days or weeks. After Ukraine pushed Russia away from Kyiv in April, Ukraine's chances grew. Javelins ATGMs and other light helped by time. Then mobile artillery, HIMARS, and guided munitions bought more time and allowed for the Kharkiv and Kherson offensives. Tanks and aircraft in numbers require more personnel for training, maintenance, and are expensive to operate. To justify deploying long lead time weapons, there has to be enough time to deploy them.

The longer Russia does not win, the greater their chances of ultimately losing. To the US and Europe, Ukraine is in a sufficiently secure position where deploying tanks and planes is realistic.

F-16s fr fighter cap and A-10 warthogs for plowing the roads.

GIVE THEM NOW,

Then give Pooty an off ramp he cannot refuse.

Its show down time, no more piecemeal aid from a jokey Biden crap. Bring Pooty the heat and make him come to Jesus.

And stop sending them cash which is kicked back to Dem coffers in numbered accounts in Davos and Zurich.
