There’s no way those jets can be worked on. No way at all, man. The need for maintenance and repair was never anticipated.
What jets? You think a couple of jets will matter?

What do you suppose the skill level of guys who've trained for 6 months will look like.

Jesus. You fall for everything stupid. Just stop.
...whatever the goal they sure did catch the Russians napping. :nod:

These past couple of years have to be the longest weekend Putin ever had. :coffee:

How silly of me. There’s no way they haven’t already received training in advance and no way they have existing pilots with experience to help speed up engagement. After all, it took us 6-9 whole months to train pilots with zero to minimal training during WWII. NATO never thought of this or just turned over $30 million aircraft knowing they’d be immediately shot out of the sky.

Just admit, you’re clueless on this subject

anytime the United States has turned over military assets to other countries, they go to shit so why will it be in a different it in the Ukraine?

Listen Skippy, I’m just a humble farm boy, trying to wrap my brain around your big theories…which are obviously so complex and rock solid you have to resort to multiple insults to prove them.

Now…name a few counties have we provided arms to that have gone to shit. And was that the predominant reason?

That was a bad move invading Iraq for their oil when we knew the guy we wanted was in a different country altogether. :coffee:

Again, you go with an appeal to authority (NATO). NATO is why Ukraine is fucked and has been wrong on all their wonder weapons, but yes, the war will turn on some F16's.

Also. You really think flying an F16 is as simple as a WWII plane. :ohno:

From what I'm reading, Russia was clearing land mines in the area, so everyone assumed Russia would start an offensive. Looks as if Ukraine gave them the bums rush before Russia was ready. It's a feel good story for Ukraine, but it won't hold.

Of course it is

The Border strategy is turn the US into a place so bad they’ll just stop coming

This kind of debt is Banana Republic like

Balances on credit cards rose by $27 billion to $1.14 trillion in the second quarter, and auto loan balances increased by $10 billion to $1.63 trillion

How can we be becoming a banana republic if we weren't one and you stated "you cannot change a culture"? If we're becoming a banana republic (or have already become one then you can change a culture.
