This story about the Danish F-16s to Ukraine being delayed is getting annoying. It’s a non-story. The prime minister said in August that she hoped the planes could be delivered before new year, but quickly thereafter it was clarified that spring was the realistic time. There is no new delay, just this original one. From: @SocraticEthicshttps://mastodon.online/@SocraticEthics/111711131922252578

@anderspuck @SocraticEthics So a miscalculation, leading to wrong communication.Frustrating to say the least. Well, especially for Ukraine ofc.

@fanchig @SocraticEthics There is nothing new. I don’t know why this is suddenly a story in the media.

@anderspuck @SocraticEthics @lethen In that case the communication from the minister has been amateurish. They should have either kept the plan secret or published a realistic timetable.

@mok0 I think it's ridiculous to blame this story on the government. It's a journalist who published without thorough research.

@anderspuck The government is responsible for the messaging being clear and cannot be misinterpreted, especially in something as sensitive as this.

@anderspuck You yourself have talked about F16s being in Ukraine so you were also duped.

@mok0 No, I was referring to Dutch F-16s. Really, the prime minister mentioned one time schedule in August at the press conference with Zelensky before any training of Ukrainian pilots had begun. Two months later the minister of defense adjusted that. I’m not sure what you think they should have done differently.

@anderspuck I don’t know perhaps I’m just frustrated, there seems to be nothing but bad news for Ukraine at the moment.

@mok0 That is true. I hope the U.S. Congress will get their act together soon.

@anderspuck I think we need plans not hope. It has been on the horizon for a while that US is going isolationist, it just happened faster than anyone anticipated. I think European politicians and military folks are still hoping it’s not so, but we really need to deal with reality.

@mok0 Vlad Vexler has an interesting video on why the West doesn’t have a strategy for Ukraine. https://youtu.be/bF9tT-x-u9o?si=8ImD6eoE0VB1lKu1

@anderspuck Thanks, I regularly watch Vlad but I haven't seen this one. My view is precisely expressed by Georgijs Ivanovs of "Ukraine Matters" , here he talks about the failure of the West (starts at 9:45). We both fear that Western inaction is showing the weakness that will invite Putin into the Baltic states sometimes in the future, because he believes he can do it without consequences. Note that only matters what Putin believes inside his head. It will be bloody.https://youtu.be/h5wZfc2ok9Y?si=PkEVcZVXySZdlrC-&t=585
