The planes in question are MiGs, which the Ukrainians already know how to use.

No, I’m just watching one Russian general after another go home from Ukraine in bags. Brandon’s weakness has brought us to this point. None of this should have ever happened but here we are. Peace is achieved through weakness.

Excellent, these Republicans should all be given the Honor of mandatory occupancy of the second seat in said fighter jets.

Do any of the Ukrainian pilots have any time in F-16s/22s/35s? Or are we providing them MiGs?

I simply can't imagine doing a Parachute Landing Fall in high heeled shoes.

I did mine in my trusty jump boots.

And who is going to provide the ordnance to load on this weapons? Does Ukraine have sufficient ordnance ready to go? To match their clearly inadequate supply of aircraft to deliver it?

OR, is this just pointless political grandstanding about a subject that has no bearing on reality or likely outcomes?

How times have changed. In 1940 and 1941 the United States supplied Britain — which was at war with Germany — with a whole lot of military aircraft, and we weren’t at war with anyone until three weeks before the end of 1941.

You can always vote Communist, sounds like that would suit you just fine.
I am sticking with Republicans who support freedom fighters in Ukraine.

Dude, the Russians are not denying this stuff. They’re having public funerals for their dead troops.

Time will tell. Let’s revisit this in a couple of weeks.

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

How is this “direct involvement” more so than sending in thousands of modern anti-tank and ManPad missiles? It is “added involvement”, but, so would be, say, sending higher altitude capable SAM batteries. Which we absolutely should also do, and should have done months ago.

Concentrate on my collapsing country you s@#theads! Don’t help the Democrats protect their money laundering operations in Ukraine! I am disgusted. Never again will a Republican get my vote after today.

They don’t care a bit about our borders, our cultural rot, our unsustainable spending and soon to be cratering of the petrodollar worldwide.

I will say no more because I don’t want my comment deleted.

So angry.

Morons don’t seem to understand that Biden has already castrated our military.

Castrated is such an incredible description of our Biden military.

I agree with all your points.

The country is in crisis on many fronts and the the Republican Party is doing nothing about it.

Who is going to fly them into Ukraine? Where would they take off from within Ukraine given that most airfields have been destroyed?

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