That’s an American Fighter Jet
This video, simply captioned with “this is crazy” and hashtags for Ukraine and Russia, suggests it came from today’s conflict. But the plane is actually an American military F-16 and doesn’t appear to be from today for so many reasons. The most obvious being that the U.S. has not pledged military support of Ukraine. At least not yet.
President Joe Biden is scheduled to speak with his NATO allies about what pressure can be further exerted on Russia later today, but Biden has previously said he’s not putting any U.S. boots on the ground in the region.
