While it's apparently ok for the Russians to fire missiles into the Ukraine at civilian targets!!

The F16 thing I think they're maybe worried about our technology being copied and they don't want to make Russia mad at us, bwahaha!

This is a chance to end Putler and discourage forever Russian aggression on the world stage. If the Russian population rose up and got rid of the fanatics that led to this disaster it might be possible for western powers to help establish a TRUE democracy in that country and end the authoritarian led, fact free, 24/7 propaganda that passes for news and infotainment.

I swear, it's almost as bad as here.

Putin is already escalating the shit out of this war. Give Ukraine the planes and long range missiles.

This is what our huge defence budget is precisely for and we're getting a brave, competent and well motivated ally to fight against a common enemy, a win, win situation.

It may well be our, heck, civilization's best chance ever to eliminate an ongoing threat to world peace and stability.

As for Putler and his threats to go nuclear, wouldn't it be interesting if it turned out the Ukrainians found some overlooked tactical nukes they forgot to turn in? Or if this appeared to be so? He and his henchmen might just think twice about using nukes against a country that also has them.
