— Maduro's government has been in power since the death of Hugo Chávez in 2013.

— Approximately 20 Ukrainian airmen are currently in training pipelines in the United States, Netherlands, and Denmark.

— These pilots are expected to be ready to fly F-16s in combat missions by the end of 2024.

— Air commanders typically allocate at least two pilots per aircraft for crew rest, training, and other operational needs.

— Given the number of trained pilots (about 20), this would allow Ukraine to fly only about 10 F-16s on combat missions in 2024.

— Ukrainian officials acknowledge that F-16s are not a "panacea" and their deployment will be gradual.

If you (Jews) don’t vote for me, you’re not gonna have Israel for very long.

15 years ago, the strongest lobby in America was Israel. You couldn't say a bad thing about Israel. If you said anything bad about Israel, you were out.

Democrats hate Israel and the Jewish people. We're gonna save Israel.

If something significant happens in Lebanon, Erdogan sees any Israeli entry into Lebanon as halfway towards him.

He could send forces to Lebanon; he has done this in the past, including sending destroyers and combat ships, to Lebanon's territorial waters.

By the way, if we were in a proper diplomatic position, we would need to sever relations with him.

However, there is a significant weakness in our diplomacy; we cannot make him pay a price for statements alone, so he is effectively exploiting the situation.
