House Republicans call on Biden to provide fighter jets to Ukraine
One America News ^ | March 16, 2022

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.

Right.

The only military capable of enforcing a no-fly zone is the US military.

A couple dozen old MiG-29s might have uses, but no-fly zone isn’t one of them.

This is a call for America to go to a disastrous war.

Reminds me of Ezekiel 38:4 “I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws, and lead you out with all your army…”

A sprit of folly and suicide has overtaken the Uniparty.

Tell me again why I should vote Republican?

Let me help you with that. Vote for Trump and anyone he recommends. That's it. Period. Let these perfumed princes suck linkage.

LOL. And exactly which airfield are these jets going to fly sorties from? What are they going to use for fuel, mutations, ground crews? What is going to prevent those jets from being destroyed on the ground after missions? Why not put those billions of dollars in a big pile and set it on fire? At least it would provide warmth to someone.

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

The mfg company I worked for in California basically got pushed out of the state by dem environmental regulations...the building was razed and what was put in it's place was later called "ground zero" of rotten mortgage/financiers that caused the housing crisis.

Could the Ukraine be ground zero for "global" crooked finance, money laundering, etc.?

Seems as though this will only prolong the death and destruction. Steve Harrigan, upon his return from the Ukraine, said “Ukraine is a Done Deal. It’s Flattened and They Lost”

Yeah, no one ever quite gets beyond the emotional “It’s for the children” war cry to answer those two critical questions.

This is a prelude to Ezekiel 38 and by us trying to interfere with this can be utterly disastrous. God’s favor is no longer on this country.

Biden needs this to drag on and save Zelensky for political reasons. They made a hero of this guy and Biden will appear at fault.

The Republicans right on time, jump in to prolong the war and lose the elections.

April 1, 2021 this started.
Biden called Putin a Killer as Russian troops were there and growing in numbers.

This month 2022 Yellen gives Putin 18 billion dollars.

We are funding both sides in this war.

... I think we should give the Ukrainian navy all of the seized super yachts to use in the Black Sea.

How about we compromise an give 'em all the yachts of the Western Oligarchs like Soros, first?

For what, the Russians to use as target practice?

Yup—all the billionaire owners of the western (Big Tech and mass media) warmongering propaganda organs need to get their yachts in the Black Sea—for Russian target practice.

Do these asshat Republicans understand that part of the deal was to furnish F-16s to Poland to backfill the capabilities lost by giving up their MiG-29s to Ukraine?

Who's gonna pay for the F-16? But you gotta admit it's a sweetheart deal for the Poles, to trade in 30 year old MiG-29s for 20 year old F-16s.

Actually, Biden wants Ukraine over ASAP because Putin is brokering the new Iran deal. That is what Dems really care about since that reverses a Trump policy.

Russia has been exposed as a fake and hollow nation. Everyone will take a bite out of them now. Chicoms, etc.

You realize, of course, that Family Biden Crime Corporation is caught between a rock and a hard place, with no room to maneuver. Having taken approximately equal bribes from both sides in this conflict, from each of Russian and Ukrainian sources, they are left to judge their next actions on the merits of the case.

The case seems to be absent in any merit whatsoever. Best course of action (for the Bidens), no action at all, just let everybody else get sucked into the maelstrom.

The crocodile may yet eat them last.

Are you high, or suicidal? You are buying the msm narrative? Russia is a formidable military and as soon as we jump in, China will soon follow. The odds of you surviving that are not good.
