Simply beautiful! Blinken pulled the same shit on Poland Sunday on live tv during the morning shows and Poland already told him there was no deal with the MIGS. He knew he was spouting lies about the MIGS. I would say our allies are getting pretty fed up with bumbling Biden and his band of idiots and morons. From Sat/Sun: Poland “does not envisage” sending fighter jets to Ukraine despite Blinken remarks \| Notes From Poland ******************************************** TODAY: Update(17:24ET): This level of huge contradiction among allies on such a big development is just a bit awkward and even embarrassing. The Biden administration is saying it was caught completely by "surprise" at Poland's declaration hours ago that it would send all its Russian-produced MiG-29 jets to Ramstein Air Base in Germany for the United States to be able to transfer them to Ukraine. While the possible plan was reportedly under consideration for days, it doesn't appear the White House was notified of Warsaw's final decision prior to the announcement being declared as a 'done deal' via the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. Apparently for Washington, there was no done deal at all. "Poland's decision to put all its MIG-29 jets at the disposal of the United States was not pre-consulted with Washington," State Department Undersecretary Victoria Nuland said Tuesday in the wake of Poland's statement. And more: "To my knowledge, it wasn't pre-consulted with us that they planned to give these planes to us," she said at a hearing of Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "I look forward when this hearing is over to getting back to my desk and seeing how we will respond to this proposal of theirs to give the planes to us," she said. Here's how the exchange began: "I was in a meeting where I ought to have heard about that just before I came (to a Senate hearing), so I think that actually was a surprise move by the Poles," Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland told US lawmakers. Asked by a senator whether US officials coordinated ahead of time with Poland before Warsaw made its announcement, Nuland said: "Not to my knowledge." The official statement from Poland had said, "The authorities of the Republic of Poland, after consultations between the President and the Government, are ready to deploy – immediately and free of charge – all their MIG-29 jets to the Ramstein Air Base** and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America."
