“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

At this point I support the US sending the F-16s tomorrow, yesterday, whenever they want really, it's not like anything short of nukes or direct NATO involvement has any chance of flipping the current situation around.

Let's see those toy planes shot down by Russia's anti-air and extremely dug-in defenses, I'm sure it'll do very well for morale in the Ukrainian army and support back at home in the US!
