  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.
context: It’s disgusting the kind of monster Ukraine is fighting now.. >

  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.
