Ukraine just needs to invite Poland in for "joint exercises" and find convenient targets. Sorry your Russian equipment was in the way.

Oh we ran out of fuel and had to land here, then we lost the valet ticket and he still has the keys.. I trust they are not out for any joy rides... He did say not to worry and they are professionals...

Yeah, this is bullshit. The USSR provided warplanes against the US and it didn't lead to nuclear war. I could see an issue if Ukraine was the attacker, but they are defending their own country.
Can't Biden override the Pentagon generals?

I'm not ready to buy that.

Cat is already out of the bag. Russia knows they agreed to this, they will know exactly WTF these actually jets came from regardless (even if Trump paints Chinese flags on them...)

What some NATO politician is doing somewhere is overthinking this, fretting, and making us look like pussies in actually carrying it out.
Putin will take that win. Hasn't said shit, but we're reacting with fear..

Meanwhile old babushkas are chasing Russian troops with sticks, sunflower seeds, and zero fucks given.

I just think RU is way more likely to hit a Polish base vs Ramstein. One of those might be allowed to slip by without an Article 5 invocation. The other one is a strike at a NATO HQ and there's no way in hell it doesn't result in a full conflict.

What tf are you talking about? Tell me about all this blood?

Sorry, I forgot. You're "european," youse folks won WWI and WWII all by yourselves...and you kept the Soviets at bay without any outside help.

Jesus, those have to be a complete nightmare for enemy armor. The regular ones are bad enough. Love it.

There is a crazy amount of very capable anti-armor weaponry sloshing around the Ukrainian defense forces. Javlins, NLAWs, all flavors of RPG, Skifs, 9K11s, Panzerfaust 3s...

There is no amount of money I would accept to crawl inside some decrepit ass soviet tank and go tooling around the countryside there.

I agree. Big nope.

Kinda explains some of the morale on the other side ...

Lavrov and Kuleba meet in Ankara tomorrow. The random yahoos Russia sent to Belarus didn't have real authority to negotiate much.
