America is used to be the best, not anymore. Bills like this help to take US down. |
And how much was Ukraine going to have to give up? |
Wonder if Biden will again restrict weapon systems that can really hurt ten Russians? How about some planes Joe like the ones you give to Israel? |
Silly.
“There aren't very many Ukrainian pilots to be able to pilot those aircraft,” —Jake Sullivan +tons of expensive maintenance +skilled manpower shortage |
The whole point of F-16s is that they would be based outside of Ukraine and flown by "mercenaries" not by Ukrainians. It would of course be a major escalation, which is what some people want. |
$60B worth of Summer Counteroffensive coming your way, Vlad!
something tells me that the walls are closing in on Putin |
Sure. There are over 100 Ukrainian trained and qualified pilots. Try keeping on this side on reality. |
Nothing except NATO membership. |
How about +Vietnam 2.0 for the US Army. |
This is unwinnable militarily for Ukraine. This statement has nothing to do with my preferences or support, just reality. Ukraine has wiped out a whole generation of males age 20 -50 and razed all infrastructure. |
You English bad There aren’t 100 trained F-16 Ukrainian pilots. There are only 12 training. Silly. https://www.defenseone.com/policy/2024/02/first-ukrainian-f-16-pilots-will-complete-training-soon-may/394264/ |
All because omg how can we not try to stop the evil Putin. Russia will be significantly weakened also, no doubt, but for Ukraine it’s devastating |
It's also an unwinnable war for Russia. They lost tens of thousands of soldiers just to take tiny little Adviivka and Bakhmut. There is no chance they take Kharkiv, Odessa, Kyiv, or any other major population center. Most of their armor is gone. A staggering 87 percent of the active duty ground forces they used for the invasion are gone. Russian losses are breathtaking. And for what? Best case scenario is decades of guerrilla warfare in Ukraine, a resurgent NATO, a rearmed Europe, and global pariah status until the end of time. |
