Fighter jets? This would be incredible.
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

Everytime I think that this clusterfeck of an organisation can not sink deeper in terms of reputation, they find a shovel to dig even deeper...
One of those who was deceived was Putin himself
I've written your tips down so I don't forget. In event of nuclear war hide under stairs. In event of total failure of public services have bottle of water handy. I am prepared now.
Can you get odds on times person of the year for next year... It's gotta be
Putin really needs to get taken out. Hopefully someone in his inner circle gets tired of his antics and finishes him off.
Absolute lunatic to start talking about nuclear bombs. The guy has children and grandchildren. What kind of person thinks like that?

Greenwald is a genuine journalist, regardless of your opinion. Check his history and various publications. But in answer to your point, if someone showed me a video and asked me to consider if it was nuanced and objective (or close to it), yeah, I think I would probably watch it to find out (even if it involved one of the "villains" above). There have been people here saying Trump was right on certain issues. In other words, people you do not agree with or like can actually be right on any given issue.
Whoa. That’s huge!
How would this even work? Not worth much without extra pilots, and wouldn’t they need to be trained in the specific fighter as well?
Too bad Putin didn't study the optics and read the tea leaves and decide to invade Switzerland and take out FIFA instead. We'd all be cheering him on.
It's a joke, by the way, to be absolutely clear!
Funding... As in they will sell them fighter jets?
Not sure given the lead time and training that's gonna be much use
Where are those TB2's when you need them?
Keep believing.
I'm not cleaning out the area under the stairs, nuclear threat or not.
Who would know if a pilot or two were included in the deal?
Part of me thinks NATO intel must be confident they won’t be used if the reaction to that threat is sending even more weapons to Ukraine today, and more serious ones at that… hopefully.
Could the EU really going full tilt with weapons and general funding support be just another thing Putin underestimated?
It's like the parent that's never there but buys you all kinds of expensive gifts. In this case, the gifts can deal a lot of damage as well.

Well, I guess we can always find volunteer pilots from abroad since we officially have formed "international legion".
Just hide in the fridge. It worked for Indiana.
The pilots family and friends would know. If they got shot down the Russians would know. No way.
Aye. That World Cup shouldn’t even be happening
At some point in pretty sure the weapons are useless without trained people to operate them
Sure you can give people a machine gun... But training them to use a eurofighter is totally different
At some point there has to be people to operate coordinate and maintain what they are sending
It's actually quite funny. It's like Putin didn't read the small print, so he has no grounds for complaints.
If I had to take a guess maybe some EU countries have old models that Ukrainian pilots already have experience with. But I can't find a more detailed article on this development. News is moving fast and such developments are probably first mentioned on Twitter.
US have done the same I believe.
Ah. Pity.
Undererstimating arms sellers to sell arms would be quite something. If you are Dassault or Airbus you have to lobby for it.
Yeah that's more likely. They won't be building and selling new planes but selling planes from their inventory that had been retired by their air forces.
Whatever was holding Europe back from cutting its dependence on Russia, those doubts or complacency are probably all gone now.
Exactly, that'd be my expectation too.
Looks like a bloke who collects guns, and whose fate results ultimately in getting blind drunk and accidentally blowing off his own foot with a loaded shotgun at 3 AM.
Or maybe Putin would just think they have shot down or captured a curious amount of mutes lately?
Feels like Germany emancipated itself all in the span of about 24hrs
At the same price as a new plane no doubt
They went from "should we halt Nord Stream certfication?" to "we're fecking investing 100 billion on the military".
Yep, telling them to avoid Poland due to the back up getting into there.
I'm starting to think the western world saw a chance to get rid of Putin once and for all, when the invasion stalled so quickly. Now they are doing everything they can to end his reign.
