After seeing US and British jets shoot down hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones last night, saving thousands of Israeli lives, everyone in Ukraine is saying the same thing. The Russian military is now weaker than the Iranian military, but not only will allies NOT shoot down Russian missiles, they won't even give us the jets to do it ourselves. We even know where all Russia's bomber aircraft sit but allies refuse to give us the tools to destroy them. Russia is completely destroying Ukraine with larger and larger missle barrages, it's only getting worse. Who's side is the US on?

@JayinKyiv At least you know where you stand now
@JayinKyiv It's not "the U.S." Most of us are on your side. It's certain politicians holding up that aid.
@JayinKyiv Why don't you buy your own jets like every other country.
@JayinKyiv Congress must act now!
@JayinKyiv Why doesn't Biden send an aircraft carrier off of the Ukr coast to shoot down rockets & drones in a defensive capacity to prtect Ukr lives & country? Why is Israel different???
@JayinKyiv It’s not whose side the U.S. is on, it stands with Ukraine. Republicans in Congress have blocked aid to Ukraine and Israel for six months. Now they see the consequences of their actions. This falls on two three people, Donald Trump, Mike Johnson and Vladimir Putin.
@JayinKyiv The US needs to pivot to Asia, supporting Japan, Korea, Philippines, and ROC against the CCP. We've given enough to the ungrateful Ukrainians.
US, UK and NATO direct engagement shooting down Russian assets/missiles/drones/jets could lead to a major conflict or even a war with nuclear armed Russia. The best solution is to help Ukraine build its own iron dome - but that isn’t cheap, fast or easy…will take years and billions of investment. Israel shot down 90% of the Iranian missiles…US/UK about 10%. US/UK are not concerned about a full scale conflict with Iran who would be dispensed of rather quickly.
To properly understand and explain the real situation, each of us, especially the people with a relevant public position, should be very careful with their words. What happened in Israel, yesterday, cannot be compared to Ukraine, for several reasons: political, geographical and technical. 1. Politics: Iran is not Russia. While Iran has supporters worldwide, and even in the West, Russia has built over the decades a really impressive network of contacts, which are working for her. Removing them, in a democratic country, is not that easy. Although it is taking time, we will do it. 2. Geography: almost all the drones and missiles have been neutralised hundred (if not thousand) of km before they reached their target, what was allowed by the readiness of Jordan, Lebanon and other neighbouring countries to open their skies to US, UK, FR etc. Air Forces, apart from shooting them down with their own AF. This is not replicable with Russia, as it is huge and Belarus is not open to cooperate as UAE, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. 3. Technical/Military: as several analysts said even here in X, Israeli army and AF is one of the most advanced in the world and already cooperating with Western Air Forces, Navy, etc since many years. All this enabled to activate a coalition overnight. That would be impossible with the Ukr. Air Force. In conclusion, although we have to do much more for Ukraine, and many signs indicate we are going in the right direction, comparing Israeli and Ukr scenarios is simply misleading. So misleading that could be considered aligned to Russian Propaganda and active measures
