[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Ukraine has about 45, so 98 is a huge addition.[/quote]

Wow, that's a huge infusion at the same time Russia is transporting in plumbing repair vans for reinforcement.[/quote]
It’s about two squadrons worth of MiGs (9.12 and a couple of UBs) that were due to be replaced anyway with F-16V.  It’s a great gesture for sure and I love how the Poles are leading NATOs response but let’s keep things in perspective.[/quote]

Poland put Biden in a tough spot.  Poland basically is saying step up America and do the deal out of Germany so we are all in this together.[/quote]

OK. So conduct the transfer in Moldova.

But get this done extremely quickly.  The Migs are desperately needed today![/quote]

The Poles are scared to do this and they have NATO backing.  Moldova would be nuts to agree to this.

I really don't understand the reluctance for NATO countries though. [/b] They are opening providing billions in weapons to Ukraine.  I don't see how fighter jets crosses some line that they haven't already crossed.  I suspect the issue is more about whether the US can really replace the Polish MiGs in any timely fashion.  I doubt the US has a couple dozen F-16s just sitting around ready to send to Poland.[/quote]

because gutlessness and spinelessness of the Sheeple  are the definers of History just as much as it is shaped by megalomaniac dictators ( Hitler, Stalin )

The 21st Century has many modern advances, but in many ways it is a " wash and repeat " of the 20th century or the 18th century or the .... just pick.

Sickening to watch, isn't it.

PP is dead on: the time is ripe for ANY European country leader to step into this vacuum and become a world leader. Maybe the UK ... maybe Zelensky was invited to Parliament to prime the British public for what an ambitious Boris would like to do: seize all capital assets in the UK for UK treasury and restore the British Empire....AND keep practicing his Churhill hand gestures ...[/quote]

Reluctance...   it's the possibility of this war going nuclear.  At this point I'm not sure we can trust Putin to have the judgement to keep his finger off the button.[/quote]

The western countries don’t want nuclear war with Russia.  Sadly, if Ukraine is obliterated, it would still be a small percentage of the life lost and world devastation that a nuclear war would bring.  Hopefully neither happens and Ukraine can negotiate something with Russia.  They aren’t going to win a ground war, so they have to do something besides beg other countries to step in.  No one is going to, in any meaningful way.  [/quote]
