  1. And eventually they're going to cross a line they didn't know existed. Just like how everyone mocks and laughs at the kid that keeps saying one day hes going to bring his Uzi to school.

  2. They have multiple escalations preplanned. Its the only answer they have, everytime Ukraine has a setback. You should've been able to see how critical the condition was for Ukraine, when they started talking about it publicly a couple weeks ago. They just keep clicking away, looking for that loaded chamber.

  3. The most important thing about F16s, is they unlock an entire arsenal of Chinese weapons.

  4. Huh, I thought the point was another impotent attempt to mitigate another Ukrainian setback.

  5. Really weird thing to keep saying while Ukraine is a smoking hole in the ground.

  18.  @oddvardmyrnes9040  'We' are too irrevocably brainwashed to be scared. All these imbeciles actually, sincerely think Russia would be easier than Iraq. It comes from growing up without consequences and never being told no.

  19.  @luigifranceschi2350  And they're still sniping Ukrainian aircraft from 200 miles. Theres a reason Ukraine is desperate for air superiority fighters. People still haven't learned anything after more than a year of this. Russia uses the least sophisticated, cheapest equipment necessary. As opposed to the US that uses stealth bombers on cavemen in flipflops, roasting goat hooves over a campfire. Every single solitary time everyone has lol'd that Russia is out of options and cant do any more, they escalate. But, I guess its pretty easy to nah-uhhh it all away, sitting in a basement waiting for the Fortnite server to clear up. I mean, I can think of at least a few people that arent ROTFLMFAOOL about what a joke Russia is.

  23.  @hymns4ever197  There's a reason it's call 'near peer'. The F16 is a generation of improvements behind most of what Russia is flying and Ukraine has already lost. But, even if it were reversed, that performance gap itself, isnt large enough to overcome experience and tactics. It takes a substantial performance and capability advantage to count on technologic superiority. If Ukraine had 500 of them, with experienced Viper pilots who have spent years learning to exploit the aircraft's unique capabilities, it might make a real difference. But we know that wont be the case. Furthermore, the F16 is a much more delicate piece of equipment thats much more sensitive to any damage and requires well maintained infrastructure to operate. If Ukraine were delivered 250 planes today, with all necessary support equipment and materiel and were allowed to operate in peace and safety, they are at least a year away from being able to use them to their peak capabilities. And as noted, at peak performance, they're at best an equal to what Russia is flying. F16s to Ukraine, is an act of desperate and low consideration. NATO's only implemented strategy so far, has been to just give Ukraine a bigger gun, everytime they have a setback. Assuming for argument, legitimately altruistic motivation and intent, at best that's a historically failed strategy. We've tried it countless times and places and everytime, its made things worse for the people we're 'helping'.
