So the Biden Administration wants to stop a NATO country from giving Ukraine some MiG aircraft even though the Ukraine is under attack. Ukraine did partner with NATO forces during Afghanistan and assisted the war on terror. Joe Biden would rather equip the Taliban with some of the most modern military gear in the world including Blackhawk helicopters but stop Ukraine from receiving aircraft that would help defend Ukraine from Russian jets. I just don’t get it. More civilians have probably died in Russian air strikes than military personnel seems Joe could get out of the way and let those people defend themselves.

I’m a little confused as well. I thought the Biden admin wanted to keep Ukraine in western orbit for a multitude of reasons.

The only logic I can see is if they are afraid it will provoke Putin. Which is just stupid at this point.

Well we didn’t mind giving a bunch of terrorists all kinds of leather weapons and choppers. Nobody want to do a No Fly Zone. If nobody wants to get involved like that then fine. Why would anyone have a problem with Ukrainian pilots defending Ukrainian skies? Giving them jets is no different than giving the stingers. Makes no sense.

If you believe anything this total piece of shite has to say, then you’re a fricking moron. This idiot is intentionally trying to start World War III and is a warmonger. He should be thrown the frick out of office and is the Senator I despise the most.

Both Lindsey Graham and Adam Kinzinger have literally advocated for this.

Okay, but tell me what Biden has done the last 14 months that would lead you to believe he/his administration would do anything that's logical?

Name a single issue/crisis (real or fake) that he's handled in a logical/forthright way.

Why would anybody think Ukraine would be different?

Putin obviously has signaled that he's willing to start WW3 if NATO intervenes. I think he's crazy enough to do it. Everyone loses in that event. I'm with the administration on not taking that chance right now. Cripple him economically and let him burn himself out in the Ukraine. Sucks for them but does anyone really want missiles flying?

Do you think he'll take this quietly, mired in a mess strictly within Ukraine's borders?

I don't know. I sincerely hope so or we are all screwed. De-escalation at least buys us more time. Extend the game and hope cooler heads prevail. The alternative is a bell that cannot be unrung

The best NFZ is one where Ukraine can enforce themselves. Giving them aircraft or drones is no more provocative than giving them stingers or other lethal aid. The only difference is between the 2 is cost. If the US/ NATO was going to give them ICBM’s with nuclear warheads I see how that can be escalating and provoking. Just giving them some jets I don’t see how that’s much different than what we are doing now.

OP is one of those dudes that wanted to join the military but he would knock the Drill Sergeants out for getting in his face.

Hot shot keyboard warrior.

What would happen if the US committed to writing that Ukraine will never be a member of NATO?

Biden is financially bound to Russia and China....and is fricking the USA while lining his pockets with billions.

He must be removed ASAP.....

I could make the argument that 1) if Putin wants WWIII, he’ll find a way to get it, regardless, and 2) if NATO doesn’t show some backbone, Putin sees weakness and it may not end with Ukraine.

Appeasing tyranny never ends well. Not doing something because you’re afraid the bully will hit harder/escalate is appeasement. Putin is counting on that weakness from the west.

NATO should do everything they can to make Putin’s mission fail, short of sending troops and firing weapons

And you wouldn’t show up at all. You probably ran to Canada during Vietnam. The new modern day woke military would be perfect for you.
