  1. Here they go again…lol

  2. Can't wait to see this additional "game changer" on the battlefield to watch it flop like all the other "game changers". 😂

  3. Prolong wars = good for business.

  4. Would have been cheaper back in 2014 to except peace agreement with Russia that we would not push Ukraine to join NATO. Peace agreement worked out with Boris Yeltsin , and earlier with Russia in 1963 ? Cuban missile deal. Can the darn war mongers dictating political push agendas. JFK Jr is talking some sense.

  5. Rt news deleted by youtube… 1st casualty of war is truth.

  6. Really, because some of the pilots were in training before the F16s were approved. great investigative reporting as usual.

  7. Meanwhile us infrastructure is collapsing

  8. They want to be ready for the spring offensive… "One Gun a day, keeps the Russian away" (J. Biden).

  9. As an American I'm outraged by our politicians dragging their rear ends on this. Ukraine was supposed to get training two months ago; we should have turned the aircraft over to them by now. How is Ukraine supposed to make a push to reclaim their home without air support? We are setting them up for failure with this moronic nonsense.

  10. LOL get some gamers in there

  11. Half of the US society that believes that Ukraine is not their problem and that they are tired of the war in Ukraine will not change the course of this war. One author of the films on YouTube, an American, posts films about the war and in the last of the films he makes it clear that Russia will win the war using tanks from the 60s or 80s. Please do not make fun of America. I don't have information that would ensure that Russia is winning this war to any greater extent. Please do not manipulate or play on emotions.

  12. I wish i had an F16 ☹️

  13. Ukrainians are heroes. They will master the F16 in no time at all. Here's to the heroes of Ukraine!

    Teach the Russians true terror!

  14. …and when this "game changer" fails to change the game? What next?

  15. Wait.. did the US officially approved the planes? Not that they would matter in any significant way

  16. Shoving Ukraine on us more. So tired of this money pit that has zero chance of beating Russia anyway. Ukraine leaders buying more luxury real estate.

  17. 4 billion dollar plane will be blown up in a matter of seconds 😂😂😂

  18. I remember when my father was fighting the Americans in Vietnam.. north Vietnamese were taking terrible loses..and America was using agent orange🍊..my father kept..saying what’s the worst that is going to happen.. we cross the border and go into exile in communist china were chairman Mao’ will welcome us with open hands.. IF SOUTH VIETNAMESE AND THEIR ALLIES AMERICA LOSES THEY WILL BE PUSHED INTO THE CHINA SEA 🌊🇨🇳..

  19. That started a year ago.
    Y’all think NATO is stupid.
    Trust me, those pilots were trained long ago.
    It’s now time to inform Putin we are “starting” training.

  20. Biden may very well get his wish and start WWIII.
