The day after Poland supplied the MiG-29, the United States expressed its opposition to NATO countries providing fighter jets to Ukraine. A Pentagon spokesman said the planes would not do much to Help Ukraine's defenses but would risk causing a "significant" reaction from Russia. Apparently ABC Broadcasters also reported that the Pentagon rejected Poland's plan to supply Ukraine with its Soviet-era warplanes through the United States for the second day in a row, saying the proposal would risk a broader war between Russia and NATO.
Is the United States scared? This is the 2nd day of the plan to refuse to supply fighter jets to Ukraine through the hands of the United States and NATO. It should be known that on March 8, the Polish media broke the news that Poland and the United States have reached an intention to provide Ukraine with MiG-29 fighter jets, and the United States compensates Poland with an equal number of second-hand fighters. The MiG-29 fighter jets were flown to NATO military bases in Germany, through which Ukrainian pilots flew the MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine.
However, such news was denied by the US side on the same day, and it is obvious that the US side does not want to become a direct target of Russia. Now the Pentagon said again on Wednesday that it was directly opposed to Poland's plan to supply fighter jets to Ukraine. Obviously, the plan provided by the Polish side makes the United States feel that it is being teased, and it is clear that you Poland is adjacent to Ukraine, but you want to hand over the fighter jets to the United States, doesn't this put the United States at risk of direct war with Russia? Obviously, the United States does not want to take such a risk, so it is better to let other countries bear it.
In this regard, the latest report of the US CNN said: US State Department spokesman John Kirby poured cold water on the transfer of military jets from the United States to Ukraine through Poland, saying that the "alternative option" is still available. "We believe that providing additional fighter jets will hardly increase the ability to carry high risk." Apparently, the United States still wants to encourage Poland to supply fighter jets directly to Ukraine, and Kirby's remarks are clearly playing down the risk. But Poland is not stupid, and Poland does not want to face the military threat from Russia directly, after all, flying directly from Polish territory to Ukraine is equivalent to going to war with Russia.
Obviously, the United States and Poland are playing leather, and neither wants to be the master of this risk. Poland's Russian-made MiG-29 aircraft were all sent to Ukraine, and then the United States sent F-16s that had been used for some years to Poland at a rate, which seemed to be a perfect plan for Ukraine, Poland and the United States, but now repeatedly stuck in the same question, who sent the MiG aircraft into Ukraine? Pentagon spokesman John Bryant said U.S. intelligence also issued a warning that it could be misread by Putin as an escalation step. Russia has declared that taking off from an airfield of a certain country to participate in the war in Ukraine is considered to be the country's participation in the war.
Now the United States and Poland are playing leather ball, but Ukraine is in a hurry. According to the latest report of France's radio radio International, Zelenskiy called on the West to make a decision on the supply of warplanes to Poland as soon as possible. After all, the Western countries promised to provide Ukrainian fighters, but the fighters have been found, and the question is who will be the first to come out. The us approach is obviously to pit allies, and after making a bad idea, it still wants to let allies stand up to block the gun. The United States is really bad, which also makes Poland, as an ally of the United States, very angry, is not this to let itself hit the muzzle of Russia's gun?
Obviously, the plan proposed by the Polish side is perfect, and such a plan is certainly the best interest for Poland. But the problem is that the United States has repeatedly stated that it will not accept Poland's plan, and will not directly supply combat aircraft to Ukraine in the name of the United States and NATO, and the United States does not want to risk a direct war with Russia. You must know that the United States has been doing the game in Ukraine for such a long time, and the United States just wants to put the European Union and Russia into confrontation. And you must not fall into this war quagmire, otherwise the efforts of the early stage will be in vain.
However, when Poland put forward such a plan, it was obvious that the United States would also jump into this war quagmire and make all the efforts made by the United States in the early stage be in vain. Otherwise, the United States would not have denied Poland's plan for two consecutive days, after all, the United States could not allow itself to be passive. Then this ball will have to be kicked to see if you can find a stunned youth, otherwise this plan to provide Ukraine with MiG-29 fighters will be completely frustrated.
