Poland's decision to put all its MiG-29 fighter jets at the disposal of the United States was "a surprise move" by Warsaw, the U.S. State Department's No. 3 diplomat said on Tuesday, after Ukraine asked European countries to provide aircraft to help it fight Russia's invasion.
"To my knowledge, it wasn't pre-consulted with us that they planned to give these planes to us," State Department Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland told a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. "So I think that actually was a surprise move by the Poles," she said.
Poland is ready to deploy all its MiG-29 jets to Ramstein Air Base in Germany and put them at the disposal of the United States, and urges other NATO members that own planes of that type to do the same, the Polish Foreign Ministry said earlier.

“Putin will likely determine the plane transfer an act of war.” I just LOVE your use of irony!

An act of war by NATO/US. Which it isn’t as of now. That would drag us into the conflict. A full-frontal confrontation with Russia.
How’s that gonna go??
Poland has about 2 dozen M1i 29 and some 18 SU 22 ground attack
In return Poland is replacing them with F 16 and F35 on order
Ukraine pilots have experience flying Mig 29 from the old Soviet days
Bluff called.
We asked Poland to send the jets, they said “yes” in a moment of insanity, then they took it back.
The FDR fan club at State then met and said, “Let’s do Lend Lease! Remember the Reuben James!” but that was a non-starter.
We went back to Poland and said, “C’mon, guys! Putin won’t do anything, and remember NATO!”
Poland thought for a few seconds, and said, “Let’s cut out the middleman, here, YOU want the war, YOU take the jets and give them to Ukraine. We’ll fly them to Ramstein tonight!”
Germany then, undoubtedly, said “The f*** they will, we will NEVER allow those jets into German airspace, and if they land, they are never taking off again”.
The absurd and cowardly “let’s you and him fight” shadow play the US neocons have played with Zelensky is going down in flames, Poland and Germany are not stupid enough to play with fire, and if Biden wants to fight Russia (and without Congress) he’s on his own.
“Poland’s good, and they smeared a ton of egg on Blinkin’s mug.”
And I love it.
The stench of intentional confusion by bilken hangs heavy in the air.
Plugs wants to start ww3.
God knows why.
I’m hoping all the greed, schemes, and incompetence collide and trip over themselves.
wasn’t it just a few days ago that the US said Poland should give their MIGs to Ukraine and the NATO countries with MIGs to follow suit???
“Here, Mr. President. Have this turd.”
Love,
Poland.
Nope.
The war criminals are Alexander Vindman, Victoria Nuland, and Anthony Blinken, all with deep family histories in Ukraine or Poland, all undoubtedly raised with an ancient ethnic hatred of Russia, Russians, and Orthodox Christianity.
Plugs doesn't know what he wants on his oatmeal tomorrow morning, and he thinks Zelensky is President of Iran.
Poland doesn’t even think about farting until they ask the U.S. for permission.
The claim of “surprise” is silly.
This screams out “look at me!” “Look over here!”
Mig 29 is fodder to the Russian SU 27’s as shown in the Ethiopian conflict. The idea is silly and suicide for the pilots. I wonder what’s happening with the other sleeve.
I did not make the connection of blinken.
Now nothing. Morawiecki just lobbed the hot potato back to Biden.
Let’s go Brandon!
