Last week it was reported that Ukraine said they would be receiving fighters from nearby countries. Those countries are part of NATO, who is trying hard to officially<\/em> stay out of the Russia-Ukraine War. Poland told the media it was “fake news” that they were considering the move. Our Secretary of State said, hours later, that the US was in talks with Poland to send fighters. He also said NATO countries have the “green light” to send fighter jets to Ukraine.<\/p>\n Yesterday, Poland appears to have diplomatically outmaneuvered Blinkin and Biden. Not a hard move mind you, since they are the slowest guns in the west, but here’s how it’s playing out.<\/p>\n Poland is now saying they will transfer their MiG-29 Fulcrum fighter jets to the US for transfer to Ukraine.<\/a> The Pentagon here says that that plan is “not tenable.”<\/a><\/p>\n Poland is in the unenviable position of being on Russia’s doorstep. Which Ukraine reminded us a while back is a headache<\/a>. Poland doesn’t want to get invaded (again) by Russia. They’re putting the question of their jets going to Ukraine in the hands of the US. This is a brilliant move. They can simultaneously says they support Ukraine in the way Zelensky is literally begging for while also saying that it’s not their fault the jets aren’t going to Ukraine. Poland gets to play benevolent benefactor while the US (again) gets to be the bad guy.<\/p>\n With our President and Secretary of State at the helm, we’re being played. Meanwhile, gas prices are at historic highs with no signs of slowing down (unlike our President’s mental faculties).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
