Your post: "Empty gestures and words that mean nothing".
Don't know that I can comfortably say that he's ready to go. I do think it's past time for him to act on Ukraine beyond empty gestures and words that mean nothing
Once again you would rather deflect and defend those who, lemming like, follow Trump and his view of reality, rather than actually discuss the points in my post. Biden needs to rally domestic and international support to do more.
I can only guess at motives...but in my opinion his announcement that we would not commit military force was intended to take the air out of Putin's claim that Russia was threatened by NATO. He was clearly attempting to paint this as an unnecessary war between Ukraine and Putin. Do I agree with that as a strategy? No. I do see the argument.
Why wouldn't Poland allow Ukrainian pilots to come get the Migs? Don't know. Why wouldn't Germany allow the Migs to fly to Germany and from their to Ukraine? Don't know. I think they could easily have been trucked into Ukraine and just don't put it in the news. But then I believe their are issues we are unaware of. Are the planes actually operable? The Polish air force isn't using them. Have they been maintained or does someone have to do some work to make them usable? I don't know.
