I’m still wondering just how they expect to successfully deliver all of this heavy equipment without much of it being intercepted by Russia along the way. It’s a long way from Ukraine’s western border with limited roadways to bring this east where the fighting is at.
Prevent war — bypass logistics — drop a Rod from God on Pootsie.
“He pointed out that all delivery decisions are ultimately a matter for the individual Member States. According to diplomats, they have so far adhered to informal agreements - also because otherwise they would have to fear that they would not receive the full support of their alliance partners in the event of a Russian attack. For this reason, Poland, for example, is said to have refrained from delivering MiG-29 fighter jets of Soviet design to Ukraine more than two months ago.”
Hilarious.
They virtue signal like US politicians, but do very little.
Screw that. Give the Ukies whatever they need to kill Russians.
Dear idiots running this country, and the eneablers in Congress:
STOP POKING THE BEAR.
I don’t give a crap about Ukraine or Russia, or most of the European socialist snobs.
Stay. Out.
“...Russia could officially see the delivery of Western battle tanks and combat aircraft as entering the war and then take military retaliatory measures”
Oh, really? Giving $billions$ in state of the art weapons “could” been seen as entering the war? Should the russkies wait until the equip is positioned on the battlefield instead of blowing them up before they could be used?
“the transfer of MiG-29s could be misunderstood by Moscow’s intelligence services”
Misunderstood? How? Did they think the Russkies expected Nato to send hot air balloons? Are MIG’s used to plow fields or something?
NOT TAKING A SIDE. Just pointing out the stupidity of this analysis. Complete departure from how warring parties would 100% react. Any 1/2 awake general would destroy weapons, if he could, before they could be used against his soldiers.
Making any kind of agreements with a country that doesn’t keep their word is like planning dinner for my EX-Husband—who would lie about what he had for lunch.
Couldn’t trust a single word he said.
Got rid of him.

WHEN he died, his Obit didn’t even mention that HE HAD BEEN MARRIED TO ME!!!
