Ukrainian aircraft into the air than they had at the start of the conflict from my understanding. As to whether that has been just parts or entire aircraft repainted with Ukrainian colors is hard to say and nothing we need to know.

If not, you would have to fly MiGs.

USAF probably did not train you to fly Russian fighter jets.

are ex fighter pilots fly them.
I think we should have sent the US air force in weeks ago. No one agreed with me when I said this awhile ago. I think now some people agree.

Standing by and watching 3 years get sexually assaulted and murdered was unbearable.

Ukraine is fighting for democracy and it fights alone. Ridiculous.

We are going to have to fight Putin sooner or later. Might as well be now.

His threat of nukes is a bluff and just his normal strategy of intimidation and threats. He is risk aversive and knows what is at stake with nukes.

would be very nice.

They are PERFECT for blowing holes in the big-ass Oil and Gas Storage tanks, lightly protected munitions storage and cheap enough to use against trucks and train cars loaded with supplies.
