Blinken says NATO countries have "green light" to send fighter jets to Ukraine
CBS News ^ | March 6, 2022 | Melissa Quinn

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday that NATO members have the go-ahead to send fighter jets to Ukraine as the U.S. and allies continue their efforts to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia's invasion.

"That gets a green-light," Blinken said in an interview with "Face the Nation" when asked whether the Polish government, a member of NATO, could send fighter planes to Ukraine. "In fact, we're talking with our Polish friends right now about what we might be able to do to backfill their needs if in fact they choose to provide these fighter jets to the Ukrainians. What can we do? How can we help to make sure that they get something to backfill the planes that they are handing over to the Ukrainians?"

I’m for not bowing down to Putin, Zelenskyy has to stop and all free people should join in to assist by what ever means. I’m also for Graham and Levin, someone should ice Putin.

I thought the State Dept was supposed to use diplomacy to avoid conflict?

I wonder how many types of U.S. “fighter jets” Blinky can list. LOL! He’s a clown.

“We are supplying arms to Ukraine and pretending we are not part of the war?”

The Soviet Union supplied virtually all of North Vietnam’s arms through the port of Haiphong for decades. We tiptoed around that by NOT bombing that port until December 1972, and even then made sure to not involve Soviet ships.

So now it’s OK for the gangster punk to tell everyone to stand on the sidelines while he commits felony murder and armed robbery? We can’t even hand the victim a gun? What would Kitty Genovese think?

The EU and US should pour weapons into the Ukraine and make this as painful as possible for The Beeg Man. And BTW, as in Korea, they had Russian pilots in the North going up against the US - their skills were painfully obvious in comparison to the NVAF newbies.

So what’s this crap about no one is allowed to help cuz Big Bad Vlad points his pasty little finger at us and makes empty threats? He’s gonna go Nooklear? Really? The whole world gets burned to the ground because 15% of the population of Ookraine feels they’ve been dissed? Please. It’s a giant hail mary con.

Where the Hell are their own jets? Pieces of crap drank champagne instead of building a military.

They initiated the request. Biden said no. Now they are getting push back and letting the poles make their own decision. You give Biden a lot more credit for being internationally influential than he actually is. And other nations do have rights to make their own decisions in their own perceived best interests.

Everybody knows Biden is a joke, apparently except for our sheeple here at home.

Poland like declaring war .

If Russia attacks Poland (even in retaliation) I would bet that NATO would use that as justification to begin open hostilities with Russia. A trumped up fake war where a NATO country attacks Russia and then when it gets hit back invokes the mutual defense treaty? Sure, they'd do it. The war mongers had a taste of being sidelined while Trump was in power and they want a BIG war to make up for it.

No, this is absolutely incorrect. You are making stuff up. No decision is made outside the NATO hierarchy. Watch the press conference and statements made just a few days ago after NATO Secretary Stoltenberg's visit to Poland. Its absolutely not: "we're gonna let the Poles do their own thing."

The dirty little secret is our State Department hates Poland every bit as much as Russia because they resist the LGBT agenda, so they wouldn’t mind a little Mutual Destruction between the two countries.

Brandon willing to risk your sons and grandsons sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters and billions of civilians in WW3 / nuclear war in order to improve his poll numbers and to save his family’s money laundering operations in Ukraine.

Exactly! Sorry for the minor correction. And we have a bunch propaganda drunk Republicanistas ready to go along with it.

Tie their hands? Maybe not. But in that scenario we damn sure better tell them we do not have their backs and when the Russians strike them they are own. And tell the Russians the same thing. Let Europe get nuked for Ukraine if they want.

I hope Poland understands that any support will come with strings attached.
