  1. Long term thinking in Washington is Russia may well not stand for certain things. The US is not trying to help Ukraine to defeat the Russians; America is just tying to keep Ukraine in the war. Ukraine has to start doing badly to be given effective arms like F16s or ATACMS . So the F16 will be eked out in direct proportion to how dire Ukraine's situation is. Right now Ukraine is doing reasonably well, so the number of F16s will given will be designed for PR rather than victories over the Russians; just enough to keep Ukrainians from getting too discouraged. If Ukraine wants the really effective US arms, then the best thing Ukraine can do is start retreating.
