  1. Disclaimer: I'm American. Allies have MiG-29s that are upgraded and ready to be sent. No NATO jets should be supplied. The UK has to invest in its own defense and does not have the funds to just throw fighters to Ukraine. I am growing increasingly irritated by Zelensky constantly begging and asking for things his military are not trained to use. I do not want to hear that we do not provide fast enough. Crimea was taken from Ukraine in 2014. There was fighting in "breakaway republics" for years. Zelensky was elected in 2019, knowing all of this. He didn't ramp defense spending. He didn't build up his military and equipment. Once the weapons already promised are delivered and if Ukraine can push Russia out of Ukraine. Peace ensues at that point, all is well. Ukraine cannot afford to service and maintain what we have sent. Europe has to increase it defense capability and these are hard times. They cannot afford to give aid to Ukraine forever. I am all for America helping Ukraine rid itself of the Orcs. But I am not asking my kids and grand kids to keep funding Ukraine.

  5.  @Andronichuk  The US has sent $105+ billion in aid to your third world county. You gave up nukes that Moscow had the codes for. You couldn't use it, it was no threat unless you sold it to another country. They would remove the material and use it in their own advanced weapon. The US has sent 3x more aid to Ukraine than all other countries combined. Contract fulfilled.
