Reply to comment by [deleted] in Boris Johnson calls on UK to 'break the ice' by sending fighter jets to Ukraine - and warns China against 'historic mistake' by R1ckCrypto

> There is an actual reason why nations have been hesitant to give Ukraine fighter jets.

The actual reason is lack of political will. His suggestion is directly designed to deal with this, by taking initiative and paving the way for timid nations (the US, Germany) to follow.

>and even then it's not necessarily clear they would be the determining factor in making gains

There is no single weapon or system that will win a war by itself, that's not how war works. Modern fighter jets will give Ukraine capabilities that they didn't have before though, providing a sizeable advantage in both air defense and giving them the option of using western stand-off munitions.

>rather than a provocation that takes the war to the next level.

This is pure Russian propaganda. There is no possible "next level", Russia is already trying as hard as it can to win the war.

Their military is fully committed, there's nothing else they can do.

Notice that Ukraine is asking for all these things and are not worrying about "escalation". Strange, huh?

These delusional Putin propagandists whinging about "escalation" are on the other hand completely safe.
