1. Why anyone is making this public is beyond me

[jimfields33]

3. Very irresponsible.

The war should not be conducted by Twitter. So unbelievably stunning.

[AlexSFCA]

6. no, this is is the first war broadcasted on social media, Zelenskyy is brilliant at using it

Biden needs to step up and ensure the jets are in Ukraine asap. Solve all other shit later.

[highplainsdem]

17. Agree!

[Wingus Dingus]

2. Blinken and Austin and the WH need to coordinate their plans and messages

before involving Poland and Germany. And all of them need to STFU until the deal is decided. Don't give Ukraine false hope.

[Happy Hoosier]

4. Biden needs to fix this ASAP.

It looks a little chaotic. I realize that there are complications, but don't play out complexities publicly. And above all, make it happen FAST.

[Ray Bruns]

8. Biden needs to get his generals in a room and tell them to make it happen.

I'm tired hearing about what they can't do.

[Happy Hoosier]

9. EXACTLY.

All this "we can't do that" smacks of obsequious waffling.

Where is that spine of steel?

[dumbcat]

13. "obsequious "

Just WOW! I haven't seen that word in a LONG time. (I wonder how many had to look it up?)

Seriously, I applaud the use of some higher level vocabulary in our discussions. It's good.

5. Easy solution:

1. Poland flies its MiGs to a neutral country and leaves them there.
2. Ukrainians fly to neutral country.
3. Ukrainians fly MiGs back to Ukraine.
4. If need be, Ukraine can avoid flying over NATO airspace to dispel the notion this is in any way a NATO operation.

President Biden can be a hero and make this happen.

10. How to get into Ukrainian airspace without going through NATO's?

Through Georgia? Russia? Have you looked at the geography?

[Tommy Carcetti]

11. Moldova perhaps?

Or Georgia--I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

[Chainfire]

7. And these are the NATO nations that will fight for Estonia?

[Ray Bruns]

12. Article 5: an attack against one is an attack against all.

[Chainfire]

14. I know what it says.

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

Neither people, nations or alliances always do what they say they will do.

[CentralMass]

15. It's not going to make a difference to Russia where the jets came from. Giving them to

Ukraine would be an entry point into the conflict. It comes down to what would Putins reaction be. Would he consider it a declaration of war and retaliate against Poland or the US ?

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

16. My guess is

The Russians made it clear, privately, that this is a big red line for them.

And we are not willing to cross that line. At this time at least.
