Last year Joe Biden said sending fighter jets to Ukraine would lead to World War III.
Now he's sending fighter jets to Ukraine.
And before you whine to us about Joe Biden not PERSONALLY sending jets to Ukraine, he DOES have the power to say to Denmark and Holland, "NO!"
They'd listen, if they know what good for them, taking Joe's offer that can't refuse. Biden is mafioso.

Ukraine Hails "Historic" Decision To Supply F-16 Jets
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed Sunday a "historic" decision by >the Netherlands and Denmark to provide American F-16 fighter jets.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed Sunday a "historic" decision by >the Netherlands and Denmark to provide American F-16 fighter jets, the latest >move by Western allies to bolster his country's efforts to fend off Russia's >invasion.
Zelensky had sought the advanced jets for months to strengthen Ukraine's >Soviet-era air force as it pursues a grinding counteroffensive against Russian >forces in the east.
Washington announced its approval of the F-16 transfers on Friday, with >training of Ukraine pilots set to begin this month, which may allow Ukraine to >begin deploying the jets in early 2024.
The decision is "absolutely historic, powerful and inspiring for us", Zelensky >said alongside Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte during a visit to the Eindhoven >air force base in the Netherlands.
Rutte said the number of F-16s provided to Kyiv had not been determined, but >Zelensky said in a later statement that "Our warriors will receive 42 great >combat aircraft".
Zelensky then travelled to Denmark's Skrydstrup air force base and was greeted >by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who said "We also know that you need more,
and that is why today we announced that we will donate 19 F-16 fighter jets to >Ukraine".
Six of the jets will be delivered by the end of this year, eight next year and >five in 2025, she said.
"This is a very powerful support for us -- training missions are already >starting," Zelensky said.
"We are doing our best to get even more results for Ukraine," he added. "In >particular, today we discussed the expansion of training missions."

Ukraine, he DOES have the power to say to Denmark and Holland, "NO!"

However, they do need the permission of the United States to re-export equipment and arms
bought from the US. This is typical of arms deals made with all arms producers and their
clients. Don't you recall Germany refusing to permit Polish and Dutch Leopards from being
sent to Ukraine? Same principle.
