I wish I didn't bag on Trump so much so that in cases like this I could honestly point out why this is a bad idea.

Hopefully they give them some sort of less capable version like we do with most FMS and FMF transactions.

That suggests the neocons are in charge. The sale will only destabilize the situation.

this story is from December, and it still hasnt happened yet, but the State Department did clear the sale on March 1st.

Tillerson was fired a few days later.

Because there's a good chance they'll lose control of at least one of them--intentionally or unintentionally. Keeping that tech close hold is pretty important.

That's why there's been so much reticence to give them to the Ukrainians from DoD. It's not because we wanted Ukraine to lose, obviously.

If he had authorized the sale to an African nation, he'd be called a racist for this!

Understand but selling them doesn't mean no conditions are met.
If the Ukraine can't meet those conditions we are comfortable with then no deal.
Or its all bluster to get the russians thinking a bit more.

I love it. If we can help nations resist Putins push west, do it. He's gone unchallenged far too long.

hey maybe you will realize that posting anything is pretty much a bad idea and you will delete your account, and then go get your rocks off on the dark web and not bother the nice non-pedophiles on this board?

So the reason we only gave Ukraine "non lethal" assistance is because all of our "lethal assistance" is super duper secret or too complicated or too lethal?

How about because Obama was a giant pussy and didn't want to upset Putin? Just like his Syria red line. See a pattern here????

I'm never sure how this is an insult. My sister, for example, is pretty smoking hot.
