As already said - the decision has nothing to do with wanting or not wanting to help Ukraine. And since Boilerman says he supports politicians who openly reject any aid for Ukraine his complaints are really just an exercise in partisan sour grapes.
China is considering arming Russia with munitions. In the absence if that supply chain Russia is running on empty with a manufactuting base that has been decimated by sanctions and a rapidly shrinking work force due to any able bodied man under 30 fleeing the country.
The Pentagon is using the F-16's as a stick to deter China's consideration. If China sends munitions to Putin you can bet the F-16's will be greenlighted. In the meantime there are people in the Pentagon whose "expert guess" is alot more informed than anything Boilerman has insight into.
It's all about wanting and doing the right thing. PJ, put your head back in the sand. Are we going to win or not? The ramifications are huge. What will Russia will do and what will China do?
