Must not be Biden's idea. It's a good one. Wonder what argument he'll use to balk on this.

Just a simple point. Not sure how many, but I'm thinking one could buy LOTS of these for the price of a few hand-me-down jets.

Things are looking better on the "peace front." If this plays out as it presently appears, who is going to start repairing Ukraine?

That's called getting your ass kicked and looking for an out :laugh:

In the meantime, Russia has apparently increased its attacks. A final gasp?

Usually, I would say it's a no-brainer that we would end up footing the bill. Current admin? No such bet from me.

My guess we foot from 1/3 to 1/2. The remainder from the EU (Germany) and a token amount from GB. How much can be confiscated from Russia would be a bigger unknown IMO.

I agree. Biden's answer to everything, including war, is to throw money at it.

I'm very interested to see how both Putin and NATO/Europe play this if Putin is indeed looking for a face-saving out. I also want to see who gets Crimea.

https://hotair.com/allahpundit/2022/03/17/here-comes-the-ukrainian-counteroffensive-n456054I think a static, pitched battle plays into Putin's hands. I would be more for a coordinated, multi-targeted simultaneous guerilla attack. Smack the living shit out of the Russians then disappear back into the woodwork.

Wounded bears will still kill you.
