“We are now in contact with the Polish government following the statement issued today. As we have said, the decision about whether to transfer Polish-owned planes to Ukraine is ultimately one for the Polish government. We will continue consulting with our Allies and partners about our ongoing security assistance to Ukraine, because, in fact, Poland’s proposal shows just some of the complexities this issue presents. The prospect of fighter jets “at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America” departing from a U.S./NATO base in Germany to fly into airspace that is contested with Russia over Ukraine raises serious concerns for the entire NATO alliance. It is simply not clear to us that there is a substantive rationale for it. We will continue to consult with Poland and our other NATO allies about this issue and the difficult logistical challenges it presents, but we do not believe Poland’s proposal is a tenable one” (U.S. Department of Defence – ‘Statement by Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby on Security Assistance to Ukraine’ 08.03.2022).
It seems like Warsaw and Washington D.C. isn’t on accord on how to negotiate or transfer the needed fighter jets to boost the Ukrainian self-defence against the Russian invasion. As the Ukrainian government, President and army has asked for a “no-fly-zone” which isn’t happening. Now, within hours and during the same day as the Polish announces the possibility of transferring MIG-29 Jets to Ukraine. Pentagon is calling it “not a tenable one”.
It shows that U.S. isn’t that interested or invested into helping the Ukrainian army. Neither are they are willing to risk anything. It is just a waiting game for the U.S. at this point. They are not that billed up or spending on it. The U.S. is only giving surplus stock and donations to cover up the negligence of it all. While they hope other parties can come to the direct aide of Kyiv.
This is showing that Blinken and Biden isn’t all that serious about it. They can let bygones by bygones. It isn’t hurting Wall Street or an avenue near you. So, why bother risking anything and anybody. While the cities and zones near the invasion forces of Russian-Belorussian forces are bombed, war-torn and destroyed on a daily basis. Who minds the death and destruction from the air, as long as the deaths and destruction is happening thousands of miles away. That’s how this seems.
As the EU Member State and NATO ally, Poland was willing to give up its air-fleet of fighter jets to boost the Ukrainian self-defence. The U.S. and NATO is cowering away. In stead of showing up in the hour of need. As it doesn’t mind or worried about the “no-fly-zone” and can’t even stomach the possibility of flying into and support directly the war.
Instead of the planes, the U.S. offers this:
“Pentagon will deploy two Patriot missile defense batteries to Poland, U.S. military says in statement tonight. They include not only the missiles, but powerful radar designed to spot incoming fire. As of Tuesday, Russia has launched 670~ missiles at Ukraine since invading” (Ponder It, 09.03.2022).
So, the ones taking U.S. serious and as a possible ally to Kyiv it is hard to take it serious. Poland was willing to give away all of their current air-force to boost Ukraine. In the middle of a war and give them power in the air. However, Pentagon is blocking that move and it’s really tragic. Instead of serving the needs of the defending nation. It is giving it minor military equipment, which yes will help, but not anywhere near what Poland was willing to do yesterday.
Zelensky and Ukrainian people are allowed to be infuriated at this. As their nation is bombed and the West is clearly not taking that seriously. Peace.
