USA Not Allowing Poland To Give Fighter Jets to Ukraine?
Is the USA stopping Poland from helping Ukraine? For the complete answer check out our video.
Currently everyone is saying that the USA - the strongest country in the world and which is the strongest member of NATO - can not be trusted. People are saying that the US is never a partner it's always playing the class monitor who just wants to give orders but does not want to participate during important situations. They say that the US is always controlling what other countries should do and what NATO should do. Now you all may wonder why people are saying all this. Here are some of the reasons why:
Poland wanted to give its entire fleet of 28 MIG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine free of charge. The aim was to give the jets to Ukraine so that they would defend themselves in the war with Russia. Poland’s plan was to transfers these jets to the US and the US would give them Poland. This would be done by sending all the 28 fighter jets to the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. This is an American Air Base. From there the US would send the jets to Ukraine to fight the war. Poland had officially announced and everyone was very excited. However, when this proposal was made to the US, the US refused. The US said that there were ‘Logistical Problems’. How would the flights go from Poland to Germany and from there to Ukraine? They said the proposal had a lot of problems this is why they can not help Poland give flights to Ukraine. Also, the Ramstein Airbase is a base of NATO. If jets took off from there, then Russia would think NATO has entered the war. USA and NATO do not want to go to war with Russia. Hence, this is not possible. But the US said that if Poland wants to give flights to Ukraine directly, they have no problem. It is Poland’s wish.
You all must be thinking, why is Poland going through the US? Why can’t they give the jets directly to Ukraine? Well, the Polish PM’s statement after the US refusal made everything very clear. He said, ‘We completely support Ukraine. But Poland is not a part of the war. NATO is not part of the war. Poland is a member of NATO. NATO has always made it clear that it will not enter the war with Russia. The decision to send jets has to be taken by NATO unanimously. We will send all our jets to Ramstein air base but from there the jets will not go to Ukraine. We can not send the jets on our own. By sending fighter jets we do not want the matter to escalate, because we need the support of our allies.”
It is clear that the US is not ready to help Poland transfer flights to Ukraine and Poland will not do it on its own because it if afraid that if anything happens, then the US will not support them. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy is furious with this. He said that Ukraine desperately needs the jets to win the war against Russia. America knows this very well, but it will not help because the US does not want to fight the war with Russia. Even Slovakia was ready to give jets. But nobody is agreeing in NATO. So they are also unable to give weapons to Ukraine. If this continues and Ukraine does not receive military help, then they really will lose the war against Russia.
