“That’s called World War III’: Biden defends decision not to send jets to Ukraine”
Joe Biden 3/22

Was your fearless leader lying about starting WWIII then or is he lying about starting WWIII now?

Most likely, they will be gone in 60 seconds like everything else they receive. Will Russia gain technology from downed F-16s?

Why send f-16s? Why not F-87s? They will not come in enough numbers to change the outcome. Ukraine will not use them well and they will not change the bloodbath that has become the horror show that is the Russo-Ukraine War.

More distraction from the Biden Corruption Saga? He seems willing to get us involved in a war with Russia to take our attention of his family.

Not surprised the Dutch are sending the planes.

Don't worry, nothing can go wrong.

The Dutch were probably planning to replace them anyhow. Their fleet is aging.

More important then the planes are the GBUs and such. Standoff weapons will be needed. Russia mekas up for poor pilot quality with lots and lots of Sam’s

In Desert Storm before the F26s and such went it the stealth planes were sent in with anti radiation missiles to take out Addams sam radars. You can’t just send in F16s willy nilly in today’s combat environment. You need a balanced strike force. Otherwise it’s just posturing and waste of planes and lives. Not that Zeepers care about that.

By the comments, it looks like a major panic is setting in amongst the Pro-Russia crowd.

If we put in bids we can now have F16s too. Take the FJB.

What a spectacularly bad idea.

Timber, you are without a doubt the biggest Biden fan-boy on FR.

No doubt neocon fed agents consider FR members to just be morons here. And you obviously do not see how compromising this action is to national security for the US and indeed all of Europe.

I trust that our daily posted “Ukraine updater” Denys Davydov who is apparently a pilot will be among the 1st to volunteer to do his patriotic duty and go off to F-16 training to defend his country!
