F-16 touches down in Ukraine - nzoomed - 21-08-2023
This is good news, I wasnt expecting this. Seems to indicate to me they will be training with them over there which makes sense.
We might be seeing them in action sooner than we think.

Nonetheless slightly worrying. While its good to see Ukraine getting some assistance, the real problem is that Putin may use this as a reason to escalate things.

Putins known about it for ages that they were coming, he could have taken action then if he wanted to escalate things. I think even putin knows not to mess with the west and at the same time the west doesn't want to look weak to putin and look scared of his threats.

As long as Politicians are not in any personal danger, threat to their investments, or risk of inconvenience they'll be as belligerent as the polls indicate they should be.
