Blinken: NATO Countries Have ‘Green Light’ To Send Fighter Jets To Ukraine
Breitbart ^ | 3-6-2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 03/06/2022 2:36:27 PM PST by blam

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday on CBS’s “Face The Nation” that the United States has given the “green light” to NATO countries who have wanted to provide fighter jets to Ukraine.

Russia has warned countries offering airfields to Ukraine would be entering the ongoing conflict.

Partial transcript as follows:

MARGARET BRENNAN: NATO has said none of its 30 members are willing to set up a no-fly zone. President Biden has been very clear. He has no interest in that or combat troops. But what more can the United States do here? If, for instance, the Polish government, a NATO member wants to send fighter jets, does that get a green light from the U.S.? Or you were afraid that that will escalate tension?

BLINKEN: No, that- that gets a green light. In fact, we’re talking with our Polish friends right now about what we might be able to do to back fill their needs if in fact they choose to provide these fighter jets to to the Ukrainians. What could we do? How can we help to make sure that they get something to backfill the planes that they’re handing over to- to the Ukrainians? We’re in very active discussions with them about that.

We’re already in it unless someone over there blinks. Bullets or planes makes no difference.

****

Huge escalation, to what end? It won’t be enough to stop Russia, but Russia already said they consider it an act of war.

Exactly. Ukraine isn’t part of NATO and we have no obligation to provide them with a penny, particularly, with the other party involved being a nuclear superpower. This will only make things worse, I’m not sure they even understand what they are doing at this point

“Huge escalation, to what end? It won’t be enough to stop Russia, but Russia already said they consider it an act of war.”

Putin said yesterday that the sanctions are a declaration of war. Hell, if we fart in his general direction he will think it’s akin to a nuclear strike. The guy bit off more than he can chew, and he is issuing vocal escalations hoping that he’ll be given an off-ramp to get out of all this sh!t.

“he is issuing vocal escalations”

*****

Twitter is saying bombings have drastically increased today. Also, one airport has been totally destroyed, the rumor is that more will be in order to give the NATO planes no where to land.

Indeed. In the Cold War the USR would threaten nuclear annihilation for every move we made.

The trick was figuring out which of these threats was real. It is pretty clear the threats around planes are not.

Planes arrive on UAF air field just ahead of the inbound 3M-54 Kalibr missiles.

A handful of jets isn’t going to change the course of this war for Ukraine, this is just a convenient excuse to draw NATO in when Russia retaliates, so they can blame it on them.

Are they just fools? Weak guys trying to look tough, but don’t really know how to be tough, or are they cold and calculating, getting exactly what they want?

World war 3.
Needlessly created, provoked.
They tried it in the Middle East and Taiwan but now they’re finally succeeding in Europe.
Get any family out asap!
And stay or get ready for self defense here at home. Some serious sh@@ can come down during wartime

Reverse of Vietnam War

Then we were bogged down while Soviets sent Migs, SA 2 missile, AAA guns and ammunition to inflict casualties

We can do the same to the Russkies ....
