Incompetent Anti-American Secretary of State Tony Blinken Flip-Flops on Poland's Plan to Transfer All of Its MiG-29s to Ukraine

Bear in mind: Poland is a NATO member.

So this is a NATO member transferring warplanes to a country fighting a war with Russia.


On Sunday, Blinken gave the "green light" for Poland, a NATO member, to transfer 28 Russian built but NATO-owned warplanes to Ukraine to fight Russia.

But Poland insisted that the US and other NATO countries had to be involved in the transfer.

Specifically, they wanted to fly the planes to the US base at Ramstein, Germany. There, Ukrainian pilots would collect them and fly them to the Ukraine.

And now, after having signaled his support of a transfer, Blinken reverses himself and says "No."

Any supply of fighter jets to Ukraine must be done jointly by NATO countries, the Polish prime minister said on Wednesday, after Washington rejected Poland's offer to fly all its MIG-29 jets to a U.S. airbase with a view to them being given to Kyiv.

Asked about the offer of Polish MIGs, the Kremlin described it as a potentially dangerous and undesirable scenario. read more

Ukraine has pleaded with Western nations to provide it with fighter jets to counter a Russian invasion that has forced more than two million refugees to flee the country, and U.S. lawmakers have responded by pushing President Joe Biden's administration to facilitate the transfer of aircraft.

On Tuesday, Poland said it was ready to deploy all its MIG-29 jets to Ramstein Air Base in Germany and put them at the disposal of the United States, urging other NATO members to do the same. The Pentagon later dismissed the offer as not "tenable".

Now, why did Poland want to do it this way?

Here's my speculation: Poland wanted the US involved because they feared a Russia attack if they supplied Ukraine with the jets. And they also feared the US would fail to come to their defense as Article 5 of the NATO charter demands we must.

You know, because America is Back, Baby! Because Biden has totally regained the trust of the world.

So they wanted the US directly involved in this operation so that the US would have ownership of it and could not walk away from it if Russia attacked Poland. So that the US could not claim, "Poland in effect attacked Russia by transferring those planes without NATO's blessing, so in effect Poland was the first attacker, Russia was counter-attacking, not attacking, and therefore Article 5 does not apply and we do not owe collective self-defense action to Poland."

And I think that's exactly the reason Blinken refused to be part of Poland's transfer scheme -- because he wanted the ability to walk away from the scheme and claim that Poland's transfer severed the US's obligation to come to their aid.

Blinken wanted Poland to act "unilaterally," so that the US would not have to back Poland's play if things went sideways.

And what are the odds that things would go sideways under Brandon...?

So Poland is not going forward with the transfer. They know that Biden and Blinken are untrustworthy c*cksuckers.

I don't think that we should risk WWIII by getting directly involved with transferring warplanes to Ukraine while they're fighting Russia.

But put that aside for the moment. If my analysis is right, and it sure seems right, it would mean that Biden and Blinken were once again encouraging a Eastern European ally to get into a war with Russia while also making sure we had no obligation to back them in that war. Once again getting a country "a little bit pregnant with war" and then walking away.

They've been doing that forever.

They did that with Ukraine originally in 2014. They cheered on the Maidan Revolution, encouraged Ukraine to take a defiant no-compromises position with Russia, suggesting we had their back in the fight that would follow, and then we... disappeared.

Left them to twist in the red wind.

It's the Obama/Biden tradition.

Why do we keep doing this? Why do we keep baiting our allies to get into fights they can't win, falsely promising we will support them in wars we have no intention of supporting them in?

America's Back, Baby! The Adults Are in Charge Again!

But don't worry-- Biden's sent his Number One Fixer and Miracle Worker over there to smooth this all out.

I have a feeling that Someone Has Failed to Position Kamala for Success Again, guys.

Update: From andycanuck:

Pentagon Press Sec. John Kirby:

"We do not support the transfer of additional fighter aircraft to the Ukrainian air force at this time, and therefore have no desire to see them in our custody either."

It's that last part that's the real crux of it: We don't want them in our custody. We don't want to be tied to this.

But Poland can go out on a limb and do it "unilaterally!"

27 >> Here's my speculation: Poland wanted the US involved because they feared a Russia attack if they supplied Ukraine with the jets. And they also feared the US would fail to come to their defense as Article 5 of the NATO charter demands we must.

One point I want to add is that it is widely assumed that one of Putin's goals is to weaken NATO. That can best be done by dividing them and creating a scenario where one country gets involved in the war, and the US refuses to invoke article 5.

So I don't fault Poland since they are basically asking for a guarantee up front to prevent that. And I don't blame the US, since it is better to back out before doing so would destroy NATO.
Now, I am all for giving Ukraine defensive weapons. I think that can be done with justification. Migs are another matter. So it is pretty complicated and we don't have all the information, but they sure are making a hash out of the public back and forth bullshit.

30 The US tried to bigfoot Poland on this. Blinken went on the Sunday shows and said Poland was going to send fighter jets to Ukraine.

Poland immediately countered with, umm, no we aren't.

Apparently, then, behind the scenes, there was some diplomatic work between the countries, and the US must have said well you are going to do this, or else. Or else what, I don't know.

But Poland then came out and said tell you what, we will give our jets to the US, and you can do with them what you want.

Suddenly, the US is not so hot on the idea. Wow, this could cause an escalation! Really? What was your first clue, genius?

Poland saved us from ourselves.

Indeed they were. The Poles had broken the German codes, and knew the attack was about to begin. They told Great Britain. Great Britain was like, naw, not gonna happen. Peace in our time and all that.

166 Biden, being the chauvinist, racist, and practically every other socially unacceptable -ist there is, was probably reaching back in what, for want of a better term, we shall call his "mind", and remembering the time when Polish jokes were popular. "Ah, if it takes that many to screw in a lightbulb, they're a cinch to fall for this war plane scheme!"

Yes it is. Obama did it with Iran and the people's nascent revolution to escape the Mullahcracy. Imply the US will help and then run away at the exact moment the shooting starts and the allies would be decapitated.

Obama f***ed the people over before Biden did. Or Biden told Obama what to do because of his vast brilliance. Now, which scenario seems more likely?

Here's my speculation: Poland wanted the US involved because they feared a Russia attack if they supplied Ukraine with the jets. And they also feared the US would fail to come to their defense as Article 5 of the NATO charter demands we must.
-------
I don't think that's speculation, I think it's plainly obvious and there's no alternative interpretation that makes sense. And that's a good thing.

Brandon's people can put all the lipstick on this pig that they want. They can tell the American people that the only time it's ok to wave a flag is if it's blue and yellow. They can tell every soused housewife in this country that Zelensky is the new Fabio. But it doesn't change the truth.

Outside the borders of this upside down, house-of-cards fantasyland we live in, the serious people of the world have to be finally getting a clue. I hope. They've watched Ukraine whore itself out (fartclam and all) for the US, and then Big Daddy left them to die when another scumbag country showed her its pimp-hand.

With this degringolade unfolding hot on the heels of the Afghan disaster, I sincerely hope, for their own sakes, that every country in the world is taking note.

I just had a similar feeling today when the Russian Spokeslady comes out today and points right at the US and says" we have your biological weapons. We've got your chemical weapons" And then Putin accuses the US of violating the world treaty on biologicals and chemicals weapons from the '70s and says we should be taken the World court for that.

And I thought; what if the rest of the world agrees and allies together to land an assault on the US for being a War Criminal Regime. Could some of us really say they don't have the right?

I think our fascist state's overreaction to the Russian invasion (yes yes putin bad but let's talk geostrategy like adults and not stamp our feet like impotent children) is that by cutting off Russia from nice Western amenities (which are supposed to make warmongering commies nicer) is that we drove the axis of evil closer together and reduced our influence.

The question becomes, if Russia India China Mexico and whoever else gets too close, that reduces our touch and can lead to the end of the dollar as an international reserve currency. In which case, you are fucked. Go straight to District 9.

Poland tried to rely on allies before when they were threatened with a two front war with Germany and the Soviet Union: they ended up occupied from 1939 until 1989, effectively. Good on them for demanding actions behind the given word.

318 The Enigma story including the Poles. The Brits told the Poles crypto researches that war was imminent circa late July and the Poles gave the Brits and the French one each of Enigma models that the Poles had built and the Poles destroyed their secret files and fled to France. They worked in France under the DXB until France was falling and then evacuated by the Brits to England. Miraculously, none of the occupied French crypto personnel were questioned about Enigma knowledge by the Germans nor that the Poles had broken at least part of their codes.

Rest of the story. So no, the Poles were not betrayed by the Brits or the French but had done a great deal to save the British later.

There's plenty of evidence that could be shown that it might not have been China that released the covid virus. At best it might have been a collusion of the two for whatever reason. I'm sure that China could show that they only were a supplier of a place to do the research and did not share the decision to release it.

And even if it wasn't released on purpose we still share a majority of the blame for it's existence (surprised that isn't brought up) and the sloppiness that caused it's release.

I think it's a bit more complicated. There are very few foreign allies I trust. Ironically, Poland is one.

Our deep state bureaucracy isn't that much worse if at all that some of our so called allies who have been stabbing us in the back for years and hated Trump. Look how NATO and the EU swooned when Biden got back in. They didn't care that he was a corrupt dunce, he was one of them and wouldn't rock the boat.

Trump was actually a lot more popular overseas than our garbage media would have us believe. There are millions of normal people like us all over the world who are equally sick of their corrupt governments running the world into the ground.

One of my favorite parts of Trump's foreign policy was that it didn't rely on massive world kumbaya moments to respond to every single thing going on in the world. Trump made it know that he cared about America's interest and he didn't give a wet fart about anyone else's plans and he would do whatever it took to defend America and her interests. It worked great.

Though the Democrats deserve a large share of opprobrium, Trump main foes was the GOPe.

Trump was told in no uncertain terms that if he fired Sessions, they would not confirm a successor and he would be impeached.

The only reason Barr was brought on was because the Mueller Probe was hurting GOP election prospects and he was to end it.

It was also a bonus that Barr was a f**king POS snake and rat-f**ked Trump at every turn.

We saw this in the 80's and I think Reagan and his staff understood it as well.

At some point in the next 5 or 6 years, if we are lucky to have a real US foreign policy crew in DC, the Russians are going to regret mightily that they pulled their Komono down and showed folks that the whole Russian military is as busted as Patton told Eisenhower it was all those years ago.

Posted by: Boswell at March 09, 2022 06:01 PM


After the Soviet Union collapsed and we were able to send military people into former Warsaw Pact Countries we found out that they were literally a paper tiger. Tens of thousands of tanks and IFV's on paper but only a fraction of them were capable of being deployed for combat. Also stores of ammunition, fuel and food were woefully inadequate for any sustained combat ops. And less than 10% of their military personnel were adequately trained,, the rest were 1 year conscripts with no real training.

The Russian's thought they'd take Kiev in three days. They thought they'd blitzkrieg their way across the country and destroy the Ukrainian military. Instead, their convoys are bogged down, their troops lack food and fuel and ammunition, and the Ukrainians are still fighting. Believe me, this is a conventional disaster for the Russian military, who don't have many more troops to send. The sanctions and subsequent crashing of the Russian economy threaten Putin's survival as leader, which is why I'm worried he might use nukes.

If he keeps it on the conventional level, even if he eventually takes over Ukraine, this is a strategic defeat.

But I do know in May '45 their combat power and experience was massive, not the least bit exhausted or exaggerated, though I don't know why the silliness about them being a shell at the time persists, or what the appeal is.

And any result that leaves Ukraine as essentially finlandized is a strategic victory for Russia. It's a victory of a technical sort, since the entire framework is a defensive one, but still, objective would have been secured. Recognition of sovereignty over Crimea and D and L would be gravy, de facto will do.

472 From what I understand, the sitcking point is Poland wants Ukrainian pilots to fly missions out of Ramstein, not just transfer planes to be flown out of Ukrainian bases. That would pretty much invite an attack on the Ramstein, which puts us into direct conflict with the Russians.

I don't understand why the Poles would want this, but it would be a very, very bad idea to have Ukrainian aircraft attacking Russians from US air bases in Germany.
Posted by: Ace's liver at March 09, 2022 05:50 PM (wGeit)

No.


Poland doesn't want a direct flight from Poland to Ukrainian AFBs to reinforce the Ukranian AF because that is a direct hostile act. They want that to come from the US Air base instead, so that if the Russians retailate it doesn't hit them.

In no case were missions to be flown to attack Russian forces from Polish bases or Ramstein. That would be an act of war right there.

481 Have I missed any "Ukrainian concern" updates from Ace? The last I saw was 4 out of 10, has it gone up? Ukrainian Jews are fleeing en masse, very afraid of Putin'sChechen muslim mercenaries and his ultra rightwing eastern Ukrainian militias.

A TARC would preclude hangings as the idea of a TARC is to air all the dirty linen and then be forgiven.

483 Also possibly Biden feels that the planes are not necessary at this point. Russia's economy is in complete free fall and it's military isn't doing much better. It looks to me thst maybe/probably that air muscle isn't completely required st this point
And I am not really sure how effective 29 Migs would actually be against Russia. They require serviceable airfields. I don't think many are left in Ukraine

484 Fake Sec. Blinken says it was completely risk-free for Poland to send MIGS to Ukraine--but its SUPER-DANGEROUS for the US to send those same MIGS!

Poland's offer wasn't serious. It was a sarcastic slap-back at Blinken's generous offer to get Polish pilots killed. That's why Poland didn't "Consult".

But the Junta and the Uni-Party War Press spent all day pretending it was a serious offer rather than acknowledging the insult. What a farce.

BTW, Ukraine has plenty of planes already. They can't fly because of Russian Air Defense Systems. Those systems must be very good because Obama had Russia supply them to his Ayatollah for his nuke factories.

487 I agree with Ace. Good analysis.

488 If Poland were to fly the jets to Ukraine, and Putin responded with war on Poland, I don't think the rest of NATO would be obligated. I think Poland would have started it.

Of course Poland is not going to do that. Neither is any other European member of NATO if they know what's good for them.

This has happened before. When Russia attacked Georgia, Turkey would neither intervene militarily nor allow us to come in through Turkey's waterway.

I see nothing wrong with Russia insisting on a "Monroe doctrine" within the former Soviet Union.
