Wings of Ash: America’s Dark Deal with Ukraine: In a move cloaked in patriotism but shrouded in unsettling consequence, the United States has greenlit a $310.5 million military package to keep Ukraine’s fleet of aging F-16 fighter jets in the air. But behind the public announcement lies a chilling exchange—military aid now in return for access to Ukraine’s mineral wealth later. Yes, you read that right. Warplanes for natural resources. This latest package includes training, spare parts, software, and logistical support for the F-16s previously supplied by European NATO allies. But make no mistake: these jets are not miracles of modern warfare. Even Ukraine’s own Air Force admits their limitations, saying they “cannot compete” with the cutting-edge Russian Su-35s that dominate the skies.
