(35,995 posts)Provide S-300s and any missiles that work with them.
Provide MiGs and SUs.
Provide anything that takes out a fighter at 13k m and might be deniable.
(While you're at it, provide tanks and APCs. Defensive weapons suck at offensives. "Victory at all losts. Oh. Typo? That would be telling."
Don't tell us. Don't preen and say you're thinking about it--then decide "no". Or "we're trying to make it possible" when a signature is at most what's necessary. Don't say "yes, we approve" then "but if they do it, they're on their own." In other words: Don't be a weasel. Just say, "Um ...". Nike was the goddess of victory ... Just do it.
If, if you need the poli points, say, "We did it." Only past tense is accepted; present tense ("we are currently actually doing it" is provisional. "We will do it..." the future isn't real. Talk "real."
Continue the sanctions and weapon supplies.

(17,279 posts)I said "Continue the sanctions and weapon supplies." Why would you think I said stop, when in my reply I said continue?

(43,189 posts)Civilians have access to a variety of weapons. They may not accurately
identify friendly aircraft and fire at anything they see in the sky.

(540 posts)Individual nations, including NATO members should do whatever they want, including jets and pilots, to assist Ukraine to defend itself.

(10,384 posts)It is a bit weird that Poland tried to lend Ukraine jets and was supposedly overruled by the US. They should be able to do what they want with their own things.

(96,882 posts)They proposed to give Ukraine their Soviet-era planes (which Ukrainian pilots were used to) if the US would replace them with American planes.
