Ukraine - somebody explain to me

They could also really use some A-10's (if we could get pilots trained to use them). Those columns outside of Kyiv are just begging for them.

I am guessing it takes more than a day or two to train pilots, technicians, etc. Doesn't seem remotely realistic.

Agreed.

Can President Harris do anything but laugh?

What an embarrassment to the US.

If you’re embarrassed at her little laugh, you must be mortified about Trump’s windmill response, right? You hate both sides equally, right? You joke about her being President, but Trump was actual president. Let’s hear your thought on his idiocy and buffoonery.

I cannot think of a more comforting sound for an ally or a more terrifying one for an enemy. It was so fun to watch them practice on targets when they came over Graf while we were doing gunnery.

So maybe if Bo and some of his friends "took leave" and volunteered and then somehow some A-10s ended up in say, Moldova, Bo and his friends could do some damage.

Bo, send pics.

I offered to go up in one of our Apaches with my YSA bishop. He's retired, but still trains people in the simulator. I've been in the simulator. We can load that thing up with 16 Hellfire missiles and whatever ammo the 30 mm chain gun holds.

How about you just delivery those polish jets that Biden is keeping from the Ukrainians?

GOP senators urge Biden to send Polish warplanes to Ukraine

Republican U.S. senators are imploring the Biden administration to reverse course and allow the transfer of Poland’s MiG fighter jets to the Ukrainians to fight the Russian invasion, a sign the Defense Department’s rejection of the offer may be running into steep resistance on Capitol Hill.

Forty GOP senators signed onto a letter from Sens. Joni Ernst of Iowa and Mitt Romney of Utah urging President Joe Biden to answer the plea from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who told lawmakers over the weekend that if the U.S. could not help with a no-fly zone over his skies, it could at least send more planes for his people to defend against the attack from Russia.

“Enough talk. People are dying,” Romney said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. “Send them the planes they need.”

That doesn't make a lick of sense given the current context. Catturd is an idiot.

Of course, maybe more bang for the buck would be to install four rocket pods instead of the missile racks. This would allow you to carry 76 unguided rockets instead. You could do a lot of damage to ground forces with that.

Russia sent a couple planes down to Syria presumably to pick up fighters take insert into the fight. Well here's a Syrian rebel who wants to get in on the action.
