    Yeah.

    So, a lot of cocaine.

    And seriously, i don’t think the jets will do them any good, UA infrastructure is in shambles, they wouldn’t be very successful in such conditions, pilots are hard to train, and i doubt any nato country will give them those since jets are harder to replace than tanks. RAF has something like 160 combat aircraft including not active, so i guess they will either crawl back from the promise or give them the old junk (probably trainer version of Typhoon). Btw the retiring of that trainer version was planned to take 9 years. This is how “easy” is for RAF to replace planes. And they don’t even have the ability to domestically aquire any more planes since any new aquisition was the US F-35 and they plan to buy 50 more of them in the future.

    Also, however disarmament of one of more scummy imperialists would sound good, i don’t think it will happen and i also don’t want it to happen since for the crap worth it would represent another escalation and step towards WW3.

      Unless they are already trained NATO pilots, who just happened to quit two weeks ago.

      This I concede, but if the goal is to give Lockheed a fat and urgent contact with no questions asked?

      Me neither. But then, I wasn’t keen for this whole shitshow to begin with. The ruling class, however, doesn’t seem to mind

        Of course it is, it’s not only UK after 90’s but tory UK after all.
