Guess it isn’t World War III if you have a middle=man? That’s what Blinken, and apparently Rubio, think. Only it’s not really a middle-man if it’s a NATO country, right?
On CBS, Margaret Brennan said the thing every media person keeps saying when talking to officials: “What more can the United States do?”
They keep pushing, not just asking about but pushing, Biden officials to take it further and commit to more direct action against Russia in Ukraine. Blinken told her that NATO countries have a “green light” to provide fighter jets to Ukraine to fight Russian air power and try to prevent any incursion in their air space. To do so with jets provided by Poland, a NATO country.
And further, he said that the United States is trying to make that possible by providing Poland with our jets to make up for their own decreased air power.
That seems like pretty direct action to me no matter how many steps there are but I’m just a simple Texan not a mighty Blinken or Putin.
Things that make ya go hmmm.
Reporting for Fox News, Jennifer Griffin noted that the U.S. and NATO are actually open to a no-fly zone and direct engagement with Russian air power. If “humanitarian corridors” are treated as no-fly zones enforced by NATO, then as Griffin points out there actually could be direct engagement.
That drumbeat is getting awful loud wouldn’t y’all say?
