House Republicans are calling for President Joe Biden to provide military aircraft to Ukraine, so they can establish a no-fly zone on their own. In a press conference after hearing from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Wednesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said their is bipartisan support for sending fighter jets to Ukraine.

McCarthy and Republicans also praised Zelensky and the Ukrainian people while highlighting their resistance to Russian aggression. GOP lawmakers called for Biden to impose more sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime.

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) also spoke, calling on Biden to step up and take away Putins leverage on energy while suggesting he should open the nation’s oil reserves.

Who’s to say the Poles (etc.) have not provided some off the record training?,/p>

Uke pilots are not going to be able to just hop in and fly into combat. They wouldn't be able to - at least not effectively - for several months at best with the most intensive training.

Russia doesn’t want a massive arms buildup by the West at this moment. Zerg rushing Ukraine with their top units and smashing it Iraq style would have caused that, and caused nations like Poland, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan to build their own nuclear weapons and delivery systems.


Actually, the flower of the Russian army is dying in the muddy fields of Ukraine. Here is one airborne soldier KIA complete with links to Russian newspaper death announcements.

How do they propose to get our jets into the war without making the USA a participant in it?

That's simple: Magic!

We are funding both sides in this war.

Politicians worldwide know that the ordinary American Joe has bottomless pockets, and they're gonna prove it.

We are led by witless pagans, rebelling against God. Full of themselves.

I have a feeling that there are untold stories with Ukraine, which we don’t know about yet.

I will post the obvious question: If I and my friends and family had done things in Ukraine that I didn't want in the news, would I like to continue the war headlines?

This is how Republicans lose in 2024.

And that’s a difficult proposition.

And this RINO McCarthy could easily become the next Speaker of the House.

I’m not sure if he’s even marginally better than Pelosi at this point.

Very depressing...

Agree, Republicans seem to find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

If we had any intention of securing the southern border, we would have done it 40 years ago.

“Enough poking the bear. There is NO UPSIDE for the United States in Ukraine. NONE.”

Any upside to Taiwan?
