He's very interesting. I honestly believe he is a pompous fool, but I think his public show of intense support for Ukraine now and when he was PM is very telling. He seems like the type of guy that's chasing getting his name in the history books but in a good light. He has realized being the champion of defense for Ukraine and for the UK to lead support in arms for Europe is a sure fire way to get Churchill vibes in the long term view.

It doesn't matter if the jets they send are useless. It will start a Domino effect and everyone will then send jets.

Look at America. Nobody would send leopard tanks until America sent Abrahams. Ukraine doesn't need Abraham tanks. They are logistically a nightmare when combined with all their other tanks. They are essentially "useless".

That's the thing though. Everything is already been paid for. It's just handing it out instead of leaving it in a warehouse. So the answer to "why should you be forced to pay for this?" is "Well, you already did!".
