They'll likely not directly attack a NATO country but I would expect some crisis to 'suddenly occur' and threaten to draw NATO members' attention. Of course Russia won't attack NATO ... more's the pity. 
More F-16s inbound to Ukraine. This oughta be "interesting".
Disappointing theists since 1968!
If the past is any indication, they're already there and doing work. Transfer announcements have been a critical part of ukraines disinfo and psyops campaign.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Yeah, there seems to be a 2-3 month lag between deployment and announcement.
They somehow managed to get local air superiority in the kharkiv region. Proceeded to level russian positions with glide bombs. POWs and russian twitter swear the mech assault had cas too...but those guys have been seeing ghosts since kiev...so..

I suspect that they're either shooting at ducks or trying to drain the lakes in advance. I would be surprised if ukraine doesn't spend a good amount of time just moving planes (or decoys) around internally to fix and waste enemy assets.

What do you know, Russians are overjoyed with Trump's VP pick. They couldn't have picked better themselves.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
They know they can't sustain the hundred years war of extermination in ukraine they've been salivating over on state hate tv without the help of quislings in the us.

There are many aid agencies that are stationed in the city of Dnipro right now. They say that the Ukraine somehow got used to it. But those aid workers stationed in these cities are describing the situation a quite impressive. And it’s the same all over Ukraine. You may go to bed in the evening and become a crater in the morning.
 But otherwise everything seems to be going smoothly right now. There is no more Russian Black Sea Fleet now: https://www.yahoo.com/news/humiliating-r...41094.html Russians cannot obstruct the shipment of grain from Ukraine anymore. So if there is a Ukrainian air superiority thanks to the F-16’s and other new fighter jets (that will not happen before 2025), than the Russians will have to capitulate and call it a day.  ![[Image: 7151bc275de2d3d422106a4008215efe.jpg]](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/71/51/bc/7151bc275de2d3d422106a4008215efe.jpg)
I don't think the 80 or so F-16s promised will give Ukraine air superiority except on a local and temporary basis. It will definitely help, and will allow Ukraine's next offensive to be a combined-arms project, which is good.
