  That is one damn fine speech, given by someone who actually seems to give a damn. >
  
  We need to keep helping Ukraine to the best of our abilities. I mean it's easy to dismiss this conflict as a faraway war we shouldn't care about but there's an entire nation fighting for its survival against a fascist Russian state and we can't allow Ukraine to fail. >
  
  If we fail, the next war will be in Poland or Hungary… >
  
  Russia isn’t going after a NATO country. >
  
  Nobody thought they’d actually start the war in Ukraine either. >
  
  It's funny how Russia is a complete military embarrassment and an existential military threat to Europe at the same time. >
  
  Thanks Nukes! >
  
  The West should give them their best offensive weapons and blow the Russians back over the border. Stop playing games and give them the good stuff. >
  
  Patriot missiles are a good start and they’re getting them >
  
  Defense is great, but " the best defense is a good offense" hoping to see main battle tanks and fighter jets under the Ukraine Christmas tree. >
  
  It would take a year for any pilots who've already started training to be ready on any U.S. made fighter.
  Ukraine has done well at accelerated basic training but being able to repair and maintain the kind of complex jet engines at the core of the U.S. tanks and aircraft is a whole other issue and cutting corners there is much, much more dangerous. >
  
  Trade US fighters to Eastern European NATO countries for Russian jets for Ukraine. >
  
  Sure, but those are already countries near Russia also being threatened and they still also need training to fly amy U.S. fighters to current standards, which also takes time.
  Getting any force an appreciable number of current gen fighters will realistically cost a half a billlion dollars and amy force fielding russian fighters is obvioisly going to be a state on the or near the russian border with their own security concerns. This is not a thing that can be done lightly or without extensive planning at multiple levels. >
  
  Biden can print trillions so money is no object. American troops have been rotating into NATO countries in increasing numbers, they are being accommodated with new additions to bases/ new bases....most likely staying. I was living in Germany when Obama started drawing down troops, giving bases back to Germany. Big Mistake. If Americans are on the border in every NATO Country is a good thing. My son was in Germany as "opposing forces" says most European troops were very professional and well trained. Russia best behave itself. >
  
  Yeah but that still doesn't change the reality of training and timing. A lot of the fighters being discussed were already given over months ago. Training new pilots or training pilots on new aircraft is still a very time and resource intensive process. >
  
  From the USA to all of Ukraine: I hope this Christmas you can find a moment of peace, warmth, kindness, and love. You are an inspiration to the entire world. We are behind you, and will be until your country is all yours again. 
  Thank you for proving to the world, that even in 2022, in the face of cynicism, lies, greed and cruelty that there are brave people willing to step into the breach. >
  
  My opinion is I say nato gives putin hours notice to get out of Ukraine. Then nato alliance  full force blasts the Russians out. Enough is enough, I’m surprised this hasn’t happened yet for basic human rights. >
  
  Nato is a defensive alliance.  They can't do that unless Russia attacks a nato member.
