* Poland on Tuesday offered to send fighter jets to Ukraine via a US air base in Germany.
* The Pentagon rejected the offer, saying it "raises serious concerns" for NATO.
* Zelenskyy thanked Poland on Wednesday and criticized the US response, saying "Listen: We have a war!"
The Department of Defense on Tuesday rejected an offer from Poland, a fellow NATO member, to send fighter jets to a US air base to send to Ukraine for use against Russian forces.
For weeks President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on the US and other NATO nations to provide Ukraine with warplanes so it can defend itself from Russian attacks. However, the US and NATO have refrained from doing so, fearing the move would escalate tensions with Russia and stoke a wider conflict.
On Tuesday, Poland's foreign ministry offered to send all of its Russian-made MiG-29 fighter jets to the US Air Force's Ramstein Air Base in Germany, so they could be sent on to Ukraine's forces.

The walking, talking fuck up, US Secretary of State Blinken screwed up?
Really?!
It's getting worse! This administration is advancing like a headless duck. Russia, China and Iran must not believe their eyes and ears. Biden wants to put others at risk, but not himself.
Taiwan must be paralyzed with fear.
"Biden wants to put others at risk, but not himself."
BINGO!
EXACTOMUNDO!

The ruling class is exploiting seasonality ino rder to gain more power.
"In recent years, U.S. death rates in winter months have been 8 to 12 percent higher than in non-winter months.1 Much of this increase relates to seasonal changes in behavior and the human body, as well as increased exposure to respiratory diseases. Cold temperatures can also worsen pre-existing medical conditions such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. "

Russia-Ukraine war Russia admits using thermobaric weapons, UK says; fears Putin could use chemical attack – live
Tells you where the media is at. Pressing global war and a new covid variant every month. I think WNU said it himself sanctions lead to war. Where just tip toeing to it and stepping closer to nuclear war. Poor go to die why the rich stay in a bunker hoping the enemy does not come knocking. Side note I was looking at bomb shelters in my area only one. Not saying it will go that far, but never be too careful. I think USA government hell bent on feeding bs to the American people and making them give up their rights since 9/11. That's just my opinion. Any who my Walmart looking pretty slim at the moment. Ramen was out for months and yeah, it's going to get worse.
I telling ya, just drop a couple nukes on Moscow. Problem solved.
They better figure it out by Friday. Biden has plans in Delaware this weekend.

So you rather that they do... nothing? Much like how the WNU is often an apologist for Russia (he pretty much agreed with Crimea, and wants the independent regions to be marked as Russia) I notice a trend where those who would rather watch Russia go on a warpath with its neighbors, sit back and do nothing but moan about high prices and the looming threat of doom.
If you have a world where there is no consequences for your actions, it is anarchy. And that's what you want it seems.
Maria Butina, the Russia agent who infiltrated the National Rifle Association and charmed several Republican figures before landing an 18-month prison sentence, has emerged as one of Vladimir Putin’s most vocal advocates as Russian forces continue to wreak havoc on Ukraine and its people. In fact, Butina is so deep in Putin’s propaganda hole that she’s suggesting it’s Ukraine itself, not Russia, laying waste to Ukraine.
“We have tons of evidence that the Russia army does not touch, does not bomb civilian populations,” she told BBC Radio’s Nick Robinson on Wednesday.
The US wanted Poland to be out front offering jets. It went public without any agreement from Poland. Poland said take a hike. Then called the US bluff by saying they would send to a US base in Germany and the US could make the arrangements for the transfer. Then in a classic CYA move, the US said that providing jets from the German base would be too provocative, completely contradicting their earlier desire. The US tried to play Poland and in return Poland played the US.
What I want? "So, I rather they do nothing?" Hmm don't know where you picked that up from. "Trend watching Russia go on a war path" I have to disagree with that as well. I don't know where you picked that up from WNU, but I don't see that from him. So, what you're saying is WNU is Pro Russian? I mean come on I was quoting "WNU" You want to sanction the crap out of Russia? " With actions comes consequences" So what we did to the middle east for 20 plus year was really justified? Don't call the kettle black here is what I'm seeing is it right, no. You speak of moan about high prices yet are you paying those high prices? So, you saying sanction the fuck out of Russia regardless of the taxpayer and who pays for them? It's not moan and groaning I just fail to see what your aiming at here.
