With the effectiveness of both sides' anti-aircraft systems denying either side air superiority over the battlefront, what is the real value to Ukraine of the f16's?

One year listening in and the consistent quality of the journalist work is astounding
How many Ukrainians have died now?
Shocking news that a country that is the subject of sanctions is trading with a country that is not imposing sanctions on it. Several minutes of my life wasted listening to nothing important
‘It’s Wednesday the 15th of August’? This was about as close to the truth as this broadcast got. The war is over; the Ukraine has lost and it’s time to broker a peace deal.
Strangely delusional comments by this woman at the end. Why shouldn’t Greece continue to ship Russian oil and gas? Why would Greece want to get involved in this conflict?
“Russia is a gas station masquerade as a country.”
Flatten Russia and make it a parking lot for Europe.
Why doesn't Sweden supply Ukraine with its SAAB fighter jets as it would not require approval of US?
Just add Piracy to the list of russian crimes – not their worst and certainly not their last crime.
It would be excellent if Turkey decided that its economic interests were served by imports from Ukraine and protected merchant ships in the Black Sea.
Ukranians are progressing but loosing more ground than wining into their offensive
Presumably Greece isn't willing to give away tanks unless Turkey does too. The commentator who says 'Greece needs to worry about Turkey less that Ukraine needs to worry about Russia – so Greece should give them their tanks', is frankly being foolishly simplistic, naive or just biased. The logic is 'Greece needs to worry about Turkey more than it needs to worry about Russia so why would it make itself vulnerable to Turkey to solve a none-existent risk from Russia'. The Greek government has a responsibility to the Greek people for the security of the Greek state – so we all need to persuade Greece AND Turkey to send a similar number of tanks, at which point, everyone wins.
yawn, same old news that ukraine is winning. but it is not winning. this is a black hole for funding and some people are getting very rich from it.
True what he says, and it's why I hate the hesitation on the part of the West. We need to send a message: the world is watching. Other dictators are watching. Let everyone see imperialism isn't accepted anymore.
Excellent content
💙Slava ukraini 💛🇺🇦🇺🇸
As far as I know, the Iraqi burning the Quran is not a refugee. He got his asylum application denied. He has a Persian name, and he has known ties to the Iranian government via the militia he led in Iraq which fights for the interests of Iran. He is clearly an Iranian agent provocateur and is not here (in Sweden) on his own accord. Every time he burns the Quran he has a Swedish flag next to him, to make it clear who Muslims around the world should turn their anger towards.
UK govt should help retool British factories to produce mechanised products for Ukraine.
May I interject with a thought? The Danube was in bad trouble last year and I suspect may well be this year as well. With so much of the usual snow cover lost to Global warming the countries affected may find this potential export link may well fail (I do hope not)
Please do this again, follow ups new people I don’t care, I watch it every couple months it’s a masterpiece.
Iran. Hmmm. They get loads of stuff via Dubai,
It is stupid to think that Ukraine can win this war. Russia has too much to lose should this happen. The only reason that Russia has not devastated the Ukraine is because Russia regards it as Britain would regard wales or America would regard Hawaii . The west should really regard this as a civil war!
06:00 Except through the window?
Wat r u smoking?
what is shadow fleet ??
I am amazed of the missing useful information that the "provocateur" in sweeden was not seeking attention but was acting on the orders of russia fsb, the links were discovered. but I see everybody continuing to blame sweeden, because their laws "permit" this kind of expression. And this is true. and ok for me, be it coran or bible, all religion were criminal and distructive at a moment or other in history. But the provocateurs and the hand of kremlin for sure were not lost to Erdogan secret services but it served his purposes. Erdogan, like Lukasenka weaponised the refugees also. And their involvement in Syria and Kurdistan is meant to insure a steady supply of refugees to blackmail Europe.
Outdated rubbish!
Superb trade craft by the Bulgarians! Claiming to work for INTERPOL as cover, and setting up a huge sattelite dish on the side of the house!!
Great episode guys! Special thanks to Elizabeth Braw for her insights.
This world is upside down right now with this crazy game of RISK.
Thankfully good always prevails over evil, sadly often at great peril.
Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! 🗺❤🇺🇦
