Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.14pm post the following, " Poland could supply Ukraine with F-16 fighters, Kyiv suggests....Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s most senior adviser has suggested Poland is willing to supply Ukraine with F-16 fighters as Ukraine’s lobbying for the combat jets steps up only a few days after Germany and the US agreed to send over their tanks. "
Lets Get Real:
The Russian Offensive could come before the Ukraine gets its tanks from Germany, Poland, UK and others, the best way to prevent an early offensive is to give the Kyiv the F - 16 fighters jets it needs. That in combination with West tanks could push the Russians out of the Ukraine and back to the CRIMEA. The we comes to the BUT, there is always a but, do we allow the Ukraine to push the Russians out of the Crimea, and is that a REAL RED LINE for Putin's Kremlin, could he go nuclear if he faces total humiliation at home. Putin does not want to end up in the House of Special Purpose like the last Tsar and his family. Russians are not forgiving of leaders that lose WARS, the 1905 revolution started after a failed WAR against Japan and the 1st Russian Revolution of 1917 started after the failures of the Russian Army in WW1. Thus Putin can be expected to draw a line at the Crimea, the question will the West have the power to stop the Kyiv Government, without making it sound that the West was appeasing Putin, no one wants to be the same page as Neville Chamberlain, the failed appeasing PM of the 1930s. Dangerous days and weeks ahead!
