Some House Republicans push to send F-16 jets to Ukraine

Some members of Congress are pushing to send F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine as China weighs whether to send its own military aid to Russia, according to U.S. officials. “This is still Joe Biden’s show. The question is kind of how easily or more difficult will it be to drag Congress along the next time the White House sends an aid request down here to Capitol Hill,” said NBC News Correspondent Garrett Haake.

So that's how Joe gets F16S to Ukraine with bipartisan support. He simply says no and then waits for the Republicans to jump up and down and demand him to send F16s, which in turn he sends them very brilliant. 😂 😆

We have to respond to these situation right away!!

[badluck]

Just train the Ukrainians on the F-16 and kick the issue down the road when they can actually fly the jets.

NATO's lack of forward thinking is embarrassing.

[music..]

We need to be quick and precise from now and until this war is finished!

[christineehgtinyhouse]

We should have sent them a long time ago

[susanfrancia]

Countries around the world need to work together against aggression Putin.

It would be ridiculous if Ukraine has to fight BOTH RuZZia AND China while everyone sits back and watches being "very concerned"!

[redginaldsanders]

We should be shipping as many ATACMS as is possible to the Ukrainian's. ATACMS are the Longer-range Artillery Missiles that would Really be a TRUE Help to Ukraine. You see, the Ukrainian's could fire them at a much further distance, a much Safer distance and thereby Staying FURTHER AWAY From the Front Line's.

We should open more factories and start being an industrial 🏭 country like we used to, things will be a little more expensive but is for the best of everyone’s interests

[hamfistsman]

We get deeper and deeper into this war.

[frankmontez]

Western jets are among the very top of the list items Ukraine been pleading for hello ..since day one

[wecanhelpnowatunited]

People in the 🌎 be brave like 🇺🇦 & Stand With Ukraine! now.

I don’t think the Chinese government cares much about humans rights unfortunately😢

[juliaelrod]

I think we should. Despite what Biden said, I've watched enough combat footage to understand they would be a very useful tool in putting an end to this war.

[gfystarshine]

F-16s will be sent to Ukraine from NATO countries at discounted lend-lease prices. We will sell F-35s to the NATO countries or replace their F-16s from ones we have in storage. It's a win/win for everybody

[aaronseet]

Don't know about China, but am sure Ukranians would rather prolong the war than be occupied and oppressed.

[fnrd-fo]

I don't know about you all, but I rather enjoy driving down the country side without feeling like I have to be afraid of a tank over the horizon ready to shoot at me.

[lydiazafra]

Exactly if Ukraine stop the war it’s Zelenskyy end, if Russia stop the war it’s Putins end wow praying for Ukraines continued success ❤and prayers from USA

[aziblas]

No one is going to deter anyone from doing Anything!
