We are now in a new phase of development for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We have done a lot to transition the Ukrainian Air Force to a new aviation standard – Western combat aviation. From the beginning of this war, we have been talking with our partners about… pic.twitter.com/z21yTU0Hjo

It’s never been explained by the Ukraine or Western Jews why the Russians would allow the Ukraine to fly F-16s around.
The Russians can easily bomb the planes on the ground and destroy runways.
Ukrainian pilots have started flying F-16s, Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said, confirming the long-awaited arrival of the US-made fighter jets more than 29 months since Russia’s invasion.
The Ukrainian leader announced the use of F-16s, which Kyiv has long lobbied for, as he met military pilots at an airbase flanked by two of the jets, with two more flying overhead.
“F-16s are in Ukraine. We did it. I am proud of our guys who are mastering these jets and have already started using them for our country,” Zelenskiy said at a location that authorities asked reporters not to disclose for security reasons.
Well, I think Russia can probably find the location, actually.
You know, this is all about satellites and so on.
That’s after the fact that bringing reporters to a top secret military installation is just goofy and confusing.
(It’s not a secret location at all, and this is just part of some kind of show he’s putting on.)
Zelenskiy said he also hoped to lobby allied neighbouring countries to help intercept Russian missiles being launched at Ukraine through conversations at the Nato-Ukraine Council platform.
“This is another tool, and I want to try it, so that Nato countries can talk to Ukraine about the possibility of a small coalition of neighbouring countries shooting down enemy missiles,” he said.
“I think this decision is probably difficult for our partners, they are always afraid of excessive escalation but we are fighting that.”
Yes, well.
Okay.
With the situation in the Middle East, and now a new war in South America for some reason, this Ukraine stuff is getting really old.
It’s always sort of strange to even see these stories in the news. It’s sort of like “wait, is that still happening? The Ukraine thing?”
It’s unclear why anyone cared about the Ukraine in the first place. Arguably, people will just go along with whatever the media says – but they didn’t go along with the Israel thing. The Ukraine is gay and they are fighting heterosexuals, so people got behind that.
But surely, the people who did support this are now bored.
It’s time to wrap this up.
Everyone is bored.
Maybe videos of F-16s getting blown up on the ground by the Russians will serve as some sort of turning point, where people say “okay, we’ve done enough of this, let’s wrap it up and start focusing on some of these other more interesting wars.”
