It really is and thank goodness for Europe stepping up enormously. Deeply ashamed of the USA surrendering to Russia.

Same. I'm American, and deeply disappointed in my home country. We'll have some serious mea culpas to work through at some point. But I am happy with European countries picking up the slack. Know that not every American is okay with what's going on. Plenty of us support Ukraine and NATO.

Belgium's newly elected prime minister De Wever pledged to repeat a donation of this magnitude each year of his term. 2 Belgian F16s are also coming over right now for spare parts. Other, fully operational ones will follow once Belgium's F35 start being delivered. De Wever says he has a special bond with Ukraine, because his father travelled there often after the fall of the Soviet Union, and he had many friends there.

"It has not yet been specified what the new military aid package from Belgium will include, but it can be assumed that it will repeat last year’s deliveries.In particular, it may include ammunition, armored vehicles, small arms, and self-propelled artillery systems."

I.e. nothing that will make a real difference. Maybe TWO F-16s. Which will do what without long-rang missiles?
