Biden admin gives 'green light' for NATO to send fighter jets to Ukraine
#1
Joe Biden's indecisiveness and lack of coherence is inviting disaster. Ukraine is a sovereign nation under attack. The U.S. absolutely should support NATO nations providing defensive weapons to Ukraine. However, this is a decision that should have already been made before Russia invaded Ukraine. By the time that planes arrive in Ukraine, it will probably be too late for them to make much difference. We should also have been providing anti-tank aircraft to Ukraine before the invasion.

The Biden administration's continued refusal to reverse its disastrous green energy policies is going to get many Ukrainians killed. Let's just hope that it does not result in large numbers of American casualties as well. There is no excuse to continue the war on American fossil fuel industries while Russia is engaged in real war that is being financed by the sale of fossil fuels to this country, Europe, and China. 

Hypocrisy is what liberals do best.

In a Sunday interview, the Biden administration's Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that NATO member nations have the "green light" to go ahead and send fighter jets to Ukraine amidst the country's ongoing invasion by Russia.

"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," said "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan during Blinken's media appearance. "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 US? Or you were afraid that that will escalate tension?"

"No, that—that gets a green light," Blinken responded.
"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 the Ukrainians," he continued, adding that the Biden administration is in "very active discussions" with the embattled nation.

"I've been in Europe for the last couple of days working closely as always with our allies and partners at NATO, the European Union, the G7 countries, and all of us together are continuing to take steps to increase the pressure on Russia through additional sanctions, all of which are very actively under discussion and will be implemented in the coming days, as well as taking further steps to give the Ukrainians what they need to defend themselves against the Russian aggression," Blinken added.

He said that the "impact of the sanctions is already devastating," adding that Russia's stock market has been shuttered, and that "we're seeing a recession set in in Russia. Consumers aren't able to buy basic products because companies are fleeing Russia, so it's having a big impact," he stated.
