Biden 'personally killed Polish jet deal' despite Republican AND Democrats ramping up calls to give Ukraine combat planes to make Putin 'fearful of what WE might do'

And for every Polish Mig, the US would (under the plan) provide a back-up jet so Poland was still covered.

While our news is all about what is happening in Ukraine, of at least as much interest is what's started happening in Russia today.

Various FSB heads have been placed under house arrest or actual arrest, and the 5th Directorate of the FSB (in charge of foreign intelligence of the FSB, incl. in Ukraine) was raided by both Putin's own security service and by the 9th Directorate of the FSB (Internal Security for the FSB).

Oy...

If Putin told Bennet that his plan is to turn Ukraine into a flat surface, devoid of life or building, I can imagine Bennet's giving that advice.

I still wouldn't heed it because surrendering does not mean Putin would not carry it out, anyway - nor does Zelensky's surrender seem likely to get others to as well.

Well, the key is to not have innocent Russians and Americans pay a price.

Tough sledding for Biden.

Big difference from 1939 is most nations are united against Russia. But Ukraine is being destroyed.
