@PeterA650 Yup. Almost none of “European” air combat systems are European. Even among France and Sweden, their “independent” air combat systems have so many US components and technologies in them, as to shock the amateur fanboi of Rafales and Gripens. We shared a lot of Radar and fire control technology with the French. US/NATO Aerospace engineering program materials are authored by US, German, British, and Italian senior aerospace engineers. The US provides most of the RDT&E money for advanced combat systems, and even allows NATO partners to come to the US to test their fighters and missiles. SAAB relied on either Rolls Royce (England) , Pratt & Whitney (US/Canada), and GE (US) to power ALL of its jet fighters since the J-35 Draken. Viggen was P&W JT8D. Gripen A-D are GE F404. Gripen E/F is GE F414. Back during Gripen A days, they had major problems with gaps in the flight control laws, and had to bring them to General Dynamics at Fort Worth to get help in fixing its glitches. Rafale uses an F404 derivative engine. The Rafale A demonstrator was even powered by 2 F404s. It made its maiden flight on the 4th of July in 1986, when Reagan was still US President. That’s how far back the Rafale goes. With all that development and production time, Dassault has only produced a little over 260 Rafales. It has been almost 39 years since its first flight.

@shwazine5358 Africans? Are you being serious right now? Africa is still in the Stone Age. They have no capacity to help Europe-quite the opposite really. One of the worst things Europe did was allow Arabs to take their sea ports and cities along the Mediterranean coast of Africa. It has been down-hill after that.

@BlueMoonday19 Yup, and I think it’s even more subservient than that. European defense contractors have effectively become subcontractors for major US prime contractors. Look at airframes, engines, Radars, missiles of all types, FLIR systems, pods, precision-guided weapons, and even small arms. The UK has ordered small arms from the US for its last few contracts, since it failed to produce a reliable assault rifle in its own small arms industry the last time it tried with the SA80 saga. In order to make the SA80 reliable, they had to bring in Hk to fix and upgrade it twice now. UK SOF just ordered US Knight’s Armament weapons recently, and conventional forces ordered US LMT 7.62 DMR weapons during GWOT.

@BlueMoonday19 Ukraine didn’t have enough missile defense or even 4.5 Gen fighters, and Russia doesn’t have any SEAD mission platforms or crews trained in that mission set. Especially as NATO countries sold their older Patriot systems to Ukraine, things really got impossible for Russian air force. This would have looked entirely different had it been a NATO country with US fighters and Patriots as the norm from the start. We should be cautious about extrapolating much from Ukraine, other than Putin is willing to go full-scale invasion on nations he perceives as weak.

@Axel_Andersen We worked on F-16 & F-15 CTFs at the USAF Flight Test Center, as well as helped develop the Typhoon with the Germans. F-35 is better in so many ways, but one way the layman can easily understand how much better is safety. In the first 10 years of F-16 operational service, we lost 143 airframes with 71 fatalities. That was the safest single engine fighter up to that point. F-35A has 5 airframe losses in the past 18 years. 1 fatality in Japanese Defense Forces F-35B has 5 airframe losses, 0 fatalities in the past 16 years. F-35C has 1 airframe loss, 0 fatalities in the past 14 years. They've flown 1 million flight hours so far in the F-35 fleet all around the world.

@Popsickle34 The US secretly began funding for ATF in 1981. By 1989, there were 4 different advanced propulsion systems to choose from, and by 1991, 4 different flying prototype airframes from 2 groups of contractors. F-22A production started rolling off in 1997. During those same years, the Euro consortium was working on older technology with the Future Fighter Aircraft 1990/ECA/EFA/EF2000/Typhoon. The US began development and RFIs on 6 different programs, one of which started in 1983, the other 5 being merged into 2 by the 1990s, eventually becoming JSF. F-35s started rolling off the production line in 2006. Europe would have needed to invest in new technology in the 1980s and '90s to be in a place to manufacture today. European parliaments chose not to invest in RDT&E in advanced programs, so Europe is at least 30 years behind the power curve in military aerospace.

@Axel_Andersen The F-35 outclasses pretty much every fighter out there. They are more affordable than any other fighter as well. The news articles are written by Russian plants and Marxists, not competent defense analysts. F-35s from Israel, USMC, RAF, and USAF have been involved in combat since 2017. It's a brutal, unfair advantage to have.

@NotSoGood-765 Putin planned to invade anyway, regardless of NATO. He's ignorant enough about Talvisota and Jatkosota to do it, as are his general staff.

@tellyboy17 The US MIC has been making drones since WWII. Some of them cost more than most manned fighters.

If we saw F-16AMs enter the battlespace, there should be some footage. Never overlook weapons upgrades and integration into MiG-29s and Su-24Ms. MiG-29s have gotten HARMs, and Su-24Ms have been upgraded with Storm Shadow VLO Cruise Missiles.

@johan8969 The people in the US have all sorts of problems we want dealt with, Ukraine being on the list, but not at the top. This treasonous WH has let in untold thousands of Hamas, Hezbollah, Chicoms, and other terrorist sleeper cells for 3 years. We have photos of armed men with rifles and military equipment crossing our border illegally. Those cells are very likely to strike vulnerable targets in the us on behalf of Iran, Russia, and China with plausible deniability as low IQ enraged surrogates. The #1 job and enumerated power of the govt is to provide for the common defense of the Nation.

@57thorns The US is the one who sold the majority of weapons to Europe that Europe has sent to Ukraine. Germany, Italy, Poland, Finland, UK, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland just increased their orders for the most advanced weapon systems ever engineered in the US arsenal, and can't get deliveries soon enough. PAC-3 Patriots and F-35s don't grow on trees in Europe. They are made in the US, with some subcontracting for F-35 in UK, Norway, an assembly line in Italy, and new contracts for sub work in Switzerland and Finland. NATO has made itself extremely vulnerable by drawing down war stocks since 1991 and not fulfilling obligations to itself in terms of defense spending. Now everyone is crying that the US is responsible for European security and blaming the US no matter how many weapons contracts the US has maintained with NATO. People don't have a remotely-accurate view of the ground truth because they watch mass media lies designed to deceive them.

@SnorriTheLlama Foreign Military Sales contracts to Europe from the US have only been increasing for several European countries even before 2014, and ramped-up dramatically for more since then. From 1990s-2014, UK, Poland, Norway, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and Finland increased orders of US high technology weapon systems, namely F-35As and F-35Bs. Ukraine tried to order weapons from the US, but the Obama/Biden WH refused them, then sided with Putin by blocking investigations into Russian corruption and infiltration of the government in Kiev. That's why Hunter Biden was placed on the board of Burisma in May 2014, after one of Putin's oligarchs wired $3.5 million to Hunter's shell company. Biden was supposed to extract Zelensky from Kiev, so Putin could seize Ukraine and begin staging forces along the Polish border.

@planetmikusha5898 If you ever actually listen to Mike Johnson have a conversation, he's one of the more educated and intellectually-inclined Speakers of the House since Newt Gingrich. Foreign policy is a very difficult thing for Americans to conceptualize because of default binary partisan bias.
1
@corey8420 France started sending its own war stocks to Ukraine in 2022, and recently announced they can't sustain sending their own defense systems, so are funding a Ukraine-specific €3.2 billion support program. I'm not sure where you heard France has done nothing, but it isn't remotely accurate.
1
@corey8420 Are you saying there are 20 other nations contributing €3.2 billion or more? Could be true, but how many of them can build SCALP-EGs? SCALP-EG = Storm Shadow.
1
Mike Johnson and other members of Congress get classified briefings about what's actually going on in Ukraine. Some guy on YouTube is not better informed when it comes to all the assets they have available. Partisanship doesn't work on foreign policy, and is a funny thing to watch Americans play football with.

@davidhowse884 Russia has helped 420 US Governors, Senators, and Congressmen get elected since 1962 with just one of their political fronts. Every single one of them has been a Democrat.

@Colbato. I've lived through a lot of Speakers of the House in my life. Mike Johnson is the only one I can think of who isn't a swamp rat beholden to the usual suspects of organized crime, foreign interests, and corporate puppeteers. Kevin McCarthy was beholden to all 3. Nancy Pelosi is literally the daughter of Mafia stooge Thomas d' Alesandro Jr. Mike Johnson is a breath of fresh air for once.

@danielhutchinson6604 Putin already was planning to further cement Ukraine into Russian control in the early 2000s. All this talk of nazis is propaganda for Russian peasants to consume, so they think they have a moral justification for murdering hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians so far, while sacrificing hundreds of thousands of young Russian men as well.

@romailto9299 Russian assets in US government managed the disarmament of Ukraine during Nunn-Lugar. Clinton had been on Soviet and Russian payroll since the mid-1980s. Notice how his close friend and Rose Law Firm associate was servicing safe deposit boxes in Chiasso Switzerland 12-20x per year even before the inauguration in 1993. Clintons were under surveillance for espionage, so he fired the FBI Director on July 19, 1993. The Rose Law Firm partner's body was found the next day in an old Civil War Fort on the Potomac River. That was Deputy WH Counsel Vince Foster. Senator Obama came in on the tail-end of Nunn-Lugar and insisted on disarming Ukraine's conventional artillery shell stockpiles, under the useful idiot premise that they might be used for chemical weapons. This was all for Russia and Putin.
1
@romailto9299 In the Soviet Collapse, all the nations of the world were very concerned about what would happen to all the nuclear warheads in Georgia, Ukraine, and Belarussia. The US and IMF came up with a program called Nunn-Lugar where we would pay billions to those nations to help with their collapsing economies, in exchange for removing and inactivating weapons and delivery systems. Nobody wanted nukes and chem/bio weapons being sold to terrorists or rogue regimes.

@quinton01 Funny how Churchill expected the US to come clean up the UK's problems even during The Great War, let alone WWII.

@Navigator2166 Would your "grandfather’s Republicans" place the military armament of Ukraine over the security of the US Southern border? Where would they place Ukraine on the following priorities list: Economy/inflation National debt Border crisis Infrastructure revitalization Trade relations Infanticide/Abortion of our future US National defense Opium wars against us from China Law and Order Illegal Immigrants flooding cities Ukraine

@andresfelipeod6819 Big difference with Ukraine vs Vietnam and Afghanistan. Ukrainians actually are putting up a huge fight for their freedom. South Vietnamese army was totally corrupt and just assumed the US would do all the heavy-lifting for them. ANA and ANP were abandoned without warning by comrade Biden, whose job it is to make America look weak for his Russian master, as evidenced by the Money trails through Rosemont Seneca.

Ukraine is just one of a dozen different nations Putin has been planning to take since he assumed office in Jan 2000. His vision of Russia is common among Russian leaders historically, namely that all lands formerly-occupied by Russia belong to Russia and are rightfully theirs. Westerners don’t understand this because they have never lived in Russia, never studied Russian history, and have no concept of the Russian psyche.

@blacklion8208 Biden facilitated Putin and this war already dating back to 2014. Biden was supposed to extract Zelensky from Kiev for Putin, remember? Biden was put in the US Senate by the Soviets in 1972. He's a traitor.

Putin invaded first in 2014 and was helped by Obama/Biden/Clinton/Kerry WH. That includes Putin oligarchs wiring $3.5 million to a front company run by Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz (John Kerry’s Stepson). Obama was already supervising the disarmament of Ukrainian artillery munitions back when Obama was a Senator, and he refused to allow sale or transfer of US weapons to Ukraine when he was in the WH. All of these actions benefited Russia. When Trump was in the WH, Putin didn’t dare invade because he’s a coward little punk who couldn’t predict what Trump would do to his forces, and Trump relieved him of that guesswork in Feb 2018 in Syria when US forces annihilated Russian forces at the Battle of Khasham. Trump is the first President to authorize transfer of US war materials to Ukraine to deter Putin from attacking anymore. Once Biden got in, he killed the Keystone pipeline, which made oil revenue help grow Russia’s economy once again, while screwing over the US energy sector, and Putin took those funds to build up for the invasion. Everything you’re being fed by these propagandists is flipped upside-down in many ways.

@humphreybradley3060 Nobody asked Britons for their opinions on US politics, and your statement shows how ignorant you are of the facts. Biden is a Russian puppet, always has been. They literally finances his entrance to the US Senate in 1972, and finance his family to this day through laundered money via Biden front companies run by James and Hunter.

@LarsRyeJeppesen The multi-party European parliamentary systems suck more, with weak-spined ignoramuses making some of the worst national decisions you could imagine, and being insulated from the consequences of those decisions for generations by US security blanket. If you ever watch European Parliaments “at work”, they are a joke, and that’s coming from one of the biggest critics of the US Congress you will ever come across. US Congress are representatives of organized crime families, not the US people, and they still don’t make as poor decisions as European Parliaments.
1
@TheJohn93226 Biden has been a National threat and mole for the Soviets, then Russians and Chinese his entire political career. He even thanked their front groups for getting him elected in 1972, then openly admitted proudly how he let them shape his views and votes on SALT II and disarmament of US strategic systems. Trump is an actual patriot who only cares about the Nation first and foremost. He’s the only President who actually stood up to Putin and put him in his little place as a punk.

@goyogo2601 Obama was an open enemy to Ukraine, already working to disarm it back when he was a Senator.

@paulglawson2866 Biden is a traitor to the US who has been on Russian payroll for decades, as has his crackhead son. Have you not heard any of this?

@BevenOiCarrinuinn Biden is not on the correct side. Biden is a puppet for Putin and has been for decades. Remember who tried to extract Zelensky from Kiev?

@JAllenKaiser I disagree fundamentally and here is why: Each one of the branches of US government has substantial measures to insulate politicians from the direct role of the people which thwarts democracy. The Founders were well aware of the dangers of democracy because of mobocracy and how easy it is to manipulate by enemies domestic and foreign. For the Presidency, we have State electors who form the electoral college. For Senators, the Founders set it up with appointment by the State, not direct elections by people. Even still, we have caucuses and primaries with a vetting process by the State delegates, who take the time to learn the candidates before they move on to the General. Same for the House of Reps, who are supposed to be local neighbors sent by their districts to DC for a term or two. For SCOTUS, we have Presidential nominees who are then vetted and submitted to the Senate for confirmation.
1
@JAllenKaiser I’ve been a State and County delegate for many years, learned real civics and government in private school, and have studied the Constitution for 40 years now. Like I said, you cannot find the words “democracy" or “democratic" in the Constitution, no matter how many times Marxists repeat it to you and program you into believing the opposite of reality. The Founders were not stupid or uninformed on this topic. The Constitution is designed to protect the Republic from mobocracy and tyranny.

Behind closed doors everyone agrees on slow rolling this war, Including the Europeans. If the US provides decisive firepower and logistics, it will escalate the war and cross more borders in the region with more bigger weapons. Nobody wants that to happen. The decision-makers are content with slow-rolling deliveries to continue to attrit Russian forces.
1
@vaataja The more Russian tanks, fighters, missiles, artillery, trucks, APCs, drones, and resources spent in Ukraine, the less options they have to invade Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. If Zelensky had taken Biden's offer in Feb, 2022, Kiev would have fallen, Moldova would be annexed, Russian forces would be staged along the Western borders in Belorussia, Ukraine, Moldova prepping the false flags to invade Poland and/or Finland. All the troops and equipment destroyed over the past 23 months would be relocated to Saint Petersburg and Western front military districts. Europe owes Zelensky and the Ukrainians a huge thanks for delaying this new adventurous dictator's expansion. Putin has had this planned since the early 2000s.

@nozhki-busha Nobody insisted Ukraine use NATO tactics because Ukraine doesn't have NATO airpower. If Ukraine had NATO airpower, Russia would have never been able to occupy Donbas or annex Crimea.
