The BBC has confirmed by name, graves etc 50,000 russian dead. But as they say, the total is higher than that - these are just the ones uncovered.

Ukrainian aid is finally going up for vote. Pootie's stooges are upset, with Gaetz labelling it 'surrender.' Maybe he should go join all the other child sex offenders who have fled to russia.
Interestingly, part of the bill requires sending ATACMS to Ukraine.

It doesn't really come across as any surprise to me because nobody in this world is genuinely driven or motivated by altruism. And the average person can't really speak of if their morals would hold up when genuinely offered wealth or power.
I'll be sincere and admit I would likely sell out a portion of the human race or my metaphorical soul itself if I was bribed with the prospects of infinite wealth if the risks did not outweigh the reward.
That's the Republican mindset. Survival of the fittest, yourself above anyone else.

You're entire existence on this forum (and possibly real life as well) has been to cause conflict and turmoil in the forum of "I'm just asking questions" and the mindset behind such musings have been quite disgusting. And the worst part is, you say it in such a way that you only ever get infracted/banned is because you fearmonger and cheer for a nuclear holocaust.
F-16s will not be a "wonderweapon" and I seriously doubt they will change the battlefield calculus very much. They will certainly help Ukraine, but this war is proving that without complete air superiority and SEAD, the sky over battle lines is a very hostile place for aircraft. (For my own grain of salt, I'd suggest the US pull as many F-117A's out of mothballs as they can scrounge up volunteer ground crew for - this is the war they were built to fight.)
"For the present this country is headed in directions which can only carry ruin to it and will create a situation here dangerous to world peace. With few exceptions, the men who are running this Government are of a mentality that you and I cannot understand. Some of them are psychopathic cases and would ordinarily be receiving treatment somewhere. Others are exalted and in a frame of mind that knows no reason."

Right now the eastern front has been hammered by Russian jets far out of range of Ukraines AA lobbing glide bombs that apparently have been causing devastation and several recent losses. F-16s should be able to fix that.
More ammo for the patriots won't hurt either.
When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

Until that happens, Ukraine will continue to be a money black hole for Western funds because Pootie can just spend an unlimited number of conscripts both Russian as well as North Korean and Pakistani, while Ukraine only has its own soldiers.
German authorities have arrested 2 russian agents who were planning sabotage missions in Germany.
