    part of an integrated air defense system; before they were lobbing missiles, the Russians bombed Kyiv and other cities. this is why UK wanted NATO to set up a no fly zone.

    'Lol'

    Russians would love to shoot one of those down and get the debris.

    We are not giving them f35s.

    I guess I assume that Bidens plan all along was to incrementally increase our commitment over time. That to give everything all at once would trigger a reaction from maybe Republicans, or Americans concerned about going too deep, or from Putin who might feel he needs to retaliate in a tangible way.

    Soviet Union had no problem giving the North Vietnamese Mig 17s and training the pilots inside the Soviet Union.
