Some days ago, RedState reported on a proposed deal that would have sent NATO-owned fighter jets (mostly Polish MiG-29s) to Ukraine. That deal fell through, with several factors at play, including logistical and training concerns.
But apparently, Poland (and perhaps the other nations involved) was still ready to follow through until it ran into another obstacle: Joe Biden.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky participated in a Zoom call with US Senate members on Saturday morning, and one of the topics of discussion was the transfer of the NATO fighters. What was revealed is that it wasn’t apprehension from the Poles that scuttled the deal. Instead, it was opposition from the United States.
I’m not sure what confusion there actually is over what triggers NATO’s Article 5. Technically, nothing actually triggers it. Rather, it’s something that is invoked by a member nation as the result of a direct, hostile attack. If Germany suffers a cyberattack, for example, it would be a judgment call on their part whether to invoke Article 5. Certainly, a Russian incursion into a NATO country would qualify, though.
Regardless, despite all the tough-guy rhetoric and claims of credit for “uniting” our allies against Putin, it is once again Joe Biden who is standing in the way. Earlier in the week, the White House signaled it would oppose a bipartisan Senate plan to sanction Russia’s oil and gas industry. Now, we learn that Biden is also opposed to sending substantial lethal aid to the Ukrainians.
Apparently Biden is Putin and Xi’s best partner in the war on Ukraine.
To NOT ESCULATE the frigg’in war makes sense !!! DUGH May lead to WW3 !!!!!!
If TRUMP were in his ELECTED OFFICE from 2020 , there would be NO WAR & Gas would be Under $2.00 Gal !!!
