      America is fighting on too many fronts, the Ukrainian coup and following militarisation was just too greedy when they also needed to secure their hegemony in their own region (hence the recent Venezuelan and Brazilian interventions, and the yap regarding Canada and Mexico). Maybe they thought it was gonna be over quickly? Miscalculation or not, the right people still got paid, I guess.

            IIRC there was a group being trained to fly the F-16 but it was other countries offering to give them the planes so we couldn’t even be bothered to commit a 60 year old airframe
