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.

Taiwan is of strategic interest to US. A CCP invasion and take over of Taiwan would be a massive blow to our country. Not just because of all the advanced chips that we need and don’t make here, but because of the geopolitical pressure the China would then put on Japan, Philippines, Australia, Malaysia, South Korea and key global sea routes.

Im guessing that Republicans are holding their fire for the mid-terms.

Reminds me of BMW sending BMW engineers to Texas to update BMW’s insufficient air conditioners. ;)

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

Makes the case for removing Biden and Harris, and assigning Trump to Speaker of the the House.

Military aviation expert Justin Bronk, Royal United Services Institute Research Fellow, Airpower & Technology, joins Ward Carroll from London to discuss how and why the Russian Air Force has fallen short during the initial phase of the invasion of Ukraine and why a no fly zone wouldn’t work (and actually would solve Putin’s problem for him).

Also discussed is the months it would take to actually to begin to use Mig-29’s by the Ukrainian forces...

First, you need to study up on history, both of Russia and Ukraine, and some of the region in general. I’d go back at least as far as the Antes Union. A few days of steady research will give you a reasonable introduction. Check multiple sources, including some published a generation or more ago. Stay away from far right or far left sources, or extreme pro-anybody sources, as they will be heavily biased.

In all that, do not assign too much weight to details of the unending and sometimes bizarrely complex political divisions since the fall of the USSR. It is the big picture(s) and overall trend that counts more.

If you can find some blogs or online diaries of Ukrainians that go back to WELL B4 Maidan — material about mostly mundane non-political stuff, family life, work, hobbies, etc., but perhaps with a sporadic political comment or discussion tossed in, that can help with understanding the bulk of the populace itself. Far more than most posters here recognize (and anathema to the Putinista crowd), the average Ukrainian’s bumpy relationship with the old school / mostly inherited from the USSR corrupt oligarch structure drives a lot of what’s been going on in Ukraine the last 20+ years.

Good luck!
