Poland wants to provide its MiG-29 jets to Ukraine via the US. This isn’t a novel concept. US gave Stingers to Lithuania & Latvia and they transferred them to Ukraine. I urge the @DeptofDefense to figure out asap how to get air assets to Ukrainians. Their survival is at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

@Psiean_Phoenix @PentagonPresSec Russia is far less likely to attack the U.S. then to attack Poland. And the US is totally fine if Poland gave their jets to Ukraine. That’s what makes the Pentagon statement illogical. — PolitiTweet.org

@sfgiantsfan55 @PentagonPresSec Ukrainian pilots and crew train on the same type of Polish MiG aircraft. Poland has said they would give those aircraft to the US and then we would give to Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @PentagonPresSec: Your statement is self-contradictory. Pentagon is ok if Poland, a NATO country, gives jets to Ukraine. But if the US, a NATO country, gives jets that somehow poses serious concerns. Now is not the time to get cold feet and make up illogical distinctions. — PolitiTweet.org

President Zelenskyy has repeatedly made the same request: help Ukraine equalize its air power disadvantage. This may be a protracted war. Attached is a letter from @RepHoulahan and me requesting @SecAFOfficial Kendall to immediately explore transferring US air assets to Ukraine. https://t.co/AwxTnFmw5J — PolitiTweet.org

I participated in a classified briefing this morning with @UnderSecStateP Victoria Nuland. She & @SecBlinken are doing a fantastic job doing everything they can to support Ukraine and impose costs on Russia. The Administration is well served by their service, insights and ideas. — PolitiTweet.org

@blakehounshell @djrothkopf Your post doesn’t make sense. US was perfectly fine if Poland gave MiGs to Ukraine. Poland is a NATO country & would commit NATO alliance. So if Poland gives MiGs to US and we give to Ukraine, somehow that makes a difference? It does not. Putin even less likely to attack the US. — PolitiTweet.org

@bobby_gab2 @DeptofDefense They would be Ukrainian pilots. We already fly military equipment to NATO bases. The Ukrainians come and get the equipment. No principled distinction between a Ukrainian driving a truckload of javelins from the base or flying a jet from the base. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

If you believe Putin will use nukes if he loses, then we should stop helping Ukraine now. If you believe he won’t, then we have to maximize weapons transfers to Ukraine so its military can win. Giving them javelins, stingers, and helicopters but not jets is a STUPID line to draw. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @DeptofDefense: The U.S. has provided numerous weapons to Ukraine: Javelins Stingers M500 shotguns MK 19 grenade launchers M141 rocket launchers Helicopters And now you’re getting cold feet and stopping at outdated Soviet jets? Are you frickin’ kidding me? Get. It. Done. — PolitiTweet.org

Dear @DeptofDefense: Respectfully, your rationale makes no sense. You’re fine with MiGs departing from a Polish base into contested Ukrainian airspace but not from a U.S. base in Germany? All are NATO countries. And it’s Ukrainians who would be flying the jets. Just get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

@wvaspartan @DeptofDefense Have Ukrainian pilots fly the jets. There is no principled distinction between Ukrainians in U.S. helicopters (which we previously provided) or Ukrainians in jets that we should provide. — PolitiTweet.org
