kraine's Air Force said it will now allow foreigners to serve as pilots and engineering specialists, with a spokesperson stressing the fact that Ukraine will likely need international recruits if and when it starts to receive Western combat aircraft.

Yurii Ihnat, a spokesperson for the commander of Ukraine's air force, said in a statement Thursday that foreign citizens will be able to join if they have suitable military training.

"If they have a military occupation such as a pilot or aviation engineer, then these people can legally become servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," he said.

I was responding to post 53.

The Russian guys constantly ask that childish question.

JR’s leaving has been like Sarman’s stench going away in Return of the King.

However, he’ll appoint like minded anti-freedom of speech stooges in his place I’m sure.

Bashing a site and its runner is not grounds to be banned. I’m sure 90% of people from before 2016 are banned though.

I see, how did you learn such super-duper top-secret information that the Ukrainian president and his government are not actually running their country some foreigners are?

Some American Black Pilots flew for Ethiopia when Mussolini invaded. They were the first to fight fascists, flying old ships, some from WW I, against the best the Italians had. I always thought that story would make a great movie.

An accomplished American fighter pilot recently said that he’d do it. Ukraine apparently likes the idea and knows that it might help other nations to decide to send western aircraft sooner. One concern has been training time required for Ukrainian pilots to fly western aircraft instead of old Soviet models.

[to get NATO troops on the ground and in the air.]

That’s the objective I think. And then........things go from bad to worse.

Toss in banking collapses, crypto-currencies failing, high food prices (here will go fuels, again), supply chain problems and idiots destroying food production (not just high prices but shortages).

The odds of a perfect storm, for the world, are increasing.

Why are people supposed to adore them? Corrupt, still celebrate Nazis. Their leaders are always puppets of other countries. Their installed government allow other countries to use their people to die in proxy wars while enriching themselves with other people’s money.

Not impressive actually.
