After months of debate in Washington, Ukraine looks set to be getting its hands on this lethal Western fighter very soon. The first batch of F-16s will be arriving in Ukraine in late September, and NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said that the training of Ukrainian personnel has already started.

Unpopular opinion: we shouldn't be sending more murder machines to a war. All it will do is kill more people in name of some power struggle that should not concern them.

Ukraine has also received and used cluster munitions, which is really bad. I remember that there was a lot of outrage when Assad used them in Syria. Now that it's the West, media just glances over the fact that these munitions cause so much civilian death or even support the usage, regardless of how awful they are.

Sure, but I'm not critiquing the Ukrainian people. I'm critiquing the west that is escalating a conflict that's not theirs.

Stop calling "fighting back", escalation.
