Ukraine is finally getting the Western-made tanks that it wants, but there's still a few big items on its wishlist. Kyiv says the next thing it wants is fighter jets.
"We have new tasks ahead: Western-type fighter jets, sanctions, Peace Formula implementation," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said after Germany announced on Wednesday it would send Leopard 2 main battle tanks, a decision that followed weeks of mounting pressure by European countries.
Yuriy Sak, an advisor to the Ukrainian defense minister, concurred, telling Reuters that "the next big hurdle will now be the fighter jets." Some others, however, have pointed to long-range missiles.

Quite good. Thanks.
Ukraine will now push for F-16 fighter jets, government adviser says
We will be doing the maintenance & will have boots on the ground whether we the people want it or not
US troops have been in Romania for at least a year. Easy to find online. Don’t know where the 5000 number comes from.
I know troops are there, but he posts a lot of untrue and even silly things.
Like this “We just sent 5000 paratroopers to Romania.”.
Find someone to love and spoil you the way our establishment types love and spoil Ukraine.
Take a hike.
That’s third grade thinking. No war begins that simply.
Don’t know if this was the source, but I didn’t have any trouble finding info from the New York Times, 21 Jan 2023.

That link doesn’t support your claim at all.
Oh my goodness. And again, no major media outlet is even talking about all this.
That link was for fun.
That link can’t be the source for “We just sent 5000 paratroopers to Romania.”.
That link only points out that about 4,000 regular troops have been there since last summer, not paratroopers.
“There are around 4,000 U.S. soldiers with the 101st Airborne Division who have been stationed at the air base since last summer”
Ah! I didn’t notice the bot/stooge you were responding to…
I can’t see any reason for Russia to apologize if they retaliate against us.
The guy just posts things that are obviously made up, and then he refuses to post his source.
They will walk us right into war with Russia - just a question of time now.
NATO will deploy Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) surveillance planes to Bucharest, Romania. The aircraft are scheduled to arrive on January 17, 2023 and will support the Alliance’s reinforced presence in the region and monitor Russian military activity.
Would this require that many troops?
The pattern of comments on FR has been consistent in each instance, too... Not much out-of-the-box thinking going on around here. :-(
