1. All I know is that I don't trust John Kirby.

Therefore, I guess I don't trust the Pentagon line.

2. I think he is right

We need to do something and stop appearing to appease putin

3. Fighter jets

from a NATO member shooting down Russian fighters over Ukraine would have started WWIII.

5. Turkey, NATO member, has provided does that are destroying Russian equipment

So it's okay for Turkey, but not us?


Plus, it's not Russian planes doing the majority of bombing. Those are being launched from Russian soil.

4. And I disagree

Those old MIGs won't do much.

Stingers and especially SAMs will be much more effective.

6. So now we get to tell Ukraine what they need?

They're asking for fighter planes.

7. We have knowledgeable military advisors telling us that Putin is try goad

NATO and or the U.S. into the fight to justify their invasion into Ukraine that they would he then use to justify his actions.
