Politico: White House weighs 3-way deal to get fighter jets to Ukraine
Poland wants to donate its old MiGs to Ukraine. But there’s a catch — it needs U.S. jets.
The U.S. remains in discussions with Poland to potentially backfill their fleet of fighter planes if Warsaw decides to transfer its used MiG-29s to Ukraine, four U.S. officials tell POLITICO.
The ongoing talks, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pleads with Congress for help, underscore the frantic push to find weapons to equip Ukrainian forces as they continue to fight off the massive Russian invasion.
As Poland weighed sending its warplanes to Ukraine last week, Warsaw asked the White House if the Biden administration could guarantee it would provide them with U.S.-made fighter jets to fill the gap.
The White House said it would look into the matter. The Biden administration didn’t oppose the Polish government giving Kyiv the MiGs, which could potentially escalate tensions between NATO and Moscow. Poland, for now, has held on to its fighter jets.

WNU Editor: Russian President Putin has made it very clear that if fighter jets enter Ukraine from a foreign country, that country will be considered to be an active participant in the war. I do not think Putin is bluffing, and neither do the Poles .... Poland Still Isn't Interested In Transferring Its MiG-29s To Ukraine (Warzone/The Drive).
Update: The U.S. and Poland are not on the same page. Poland has made it official (see below):

Unfortunately you are spreading misinformation with quotation from 27/02/22.
Poland won't send its fighter jets to #Ukraine as well as allow to use its airports. We significantly help in many other areas.https://t.co/wjNOgh97JT

Biden to Poland: "Go ahead and stick your neck way out for me. I got yer back, man. (grin/wink)."
Putin is cringing at the thought of engaging nato ffs. He has done nothing even though the West is openly intervening by sending thousands of javelins and stingers, and he will do nothing if migs arrive along as the pilots are ukranian
"Russian President Putin has made it very clear that if fighter jets enter Ukraine from a foreign country"
Putin needs an entire missile field shoved up his Ass!
So this dude, Putin attacks Ukraine via a 3rd country, Belarus, and the bigger problem is that another 3rd country might be the jumping off point for a fighter jet delivery?
Why is Belarus a sacrosanct 3rd party country, but Poland is not?
The whole zone needs to be flooded with Stingers, javelins and non-Ukrainian grunts.
Putin might get the 1st tactical nuke for free, but the second one might be met with a response of a Russian base in Belarus being vaporized. Joe Biden isn't running things. Blinken, Klain, Obama, Millet and Austin are, They might not be senile like Joe, but they can be stupid. Putin might want to reconsider.
Had a lovely call with a relative. We discussed nuclear blast effects. They looked it up for their area concerning the presumed targeting list, Their area is expect to have damage to small and medium building. Lived 1/2 my life with the nuclear threat ever present and half my life without. It is here again. FUCK IT; let Putin roll the dice. He can roll the dice just like Hitler. The two make quite a pair.
Someone ought to tell Putin the at emergency services do not work out quite as planned in case of global thermal nuclear war. It'll mean there will be no Planet B and we'll be goat herders until the sun becomes a super giant.
But hey at least some of those goat herders will look like Putin!
Russ
shut your fucking mouth
what would you do, big shot?
So the obvious next step for Putin is to shoot down a plane/use a captured or existing one, PAINT the polish checker mark on that plane, claim it came from Poland and then invade them too.
Nice.
I have a feeling they'd be semi useless and it strikes me as a bad idea anyway. However, sell Poland some upgraded f-16, 15s if they want them.

Dude, that was a pretty benign statement. What got yer skirts all ruffled?
Maybe because it rings true... and we all know how badly truth hurts.
