Ukraine is probably covered with Soviet era airfields.

The Poles wisely want F16 replacements for the MiG-29s that are a big part of their air force before committing. The Us is hemming and hawing about contracts.

Blinken is actually running US foreign policy, and the junta desperately wants avoid any escalation that would require real, Presidential decisions because we don't have a President, just a fraudulently elected senile sock puppet. Unluckily for them and us, the sock puppet's erection was aided by putting an unelectable airhead with negative polling in the Vice Presidency, so they can't even replace him.

God help us.

More than a dumb idea......but Ukraine propaganda machinery is running like the Covid and other ‘mass produced’ junk the media pushes to get the public to come together for the Buden agenda.....esepcially the agenda they’re hiding but will eventually spring on the public.

Maybe the original proposal failed to include the required payments to Biden family members.

This new deal will have tons of US taxpayer money thrown in, so there will be cash to skim.
