We might know why Joe Biden is so afraid to give MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine
The Biden administration’s objections to the transfer of MiG-29s from Poland to Ukraine have been perplexing to many commentators and analysts, as have their purported explanations. …
But the truth is the administration has been providing only limited support for quite some time.
Even back in November before the invasion, when they were warning vociferously of it, Ukraine’s request for Harpoon anti-ship missiles was denied, with which it could have defended its ports.
More recently, the administration has balked at a ban on Russian oil, only agreeing to it under pressure from House Democrats.
So why is the Administration throwing Ukraine under the proverbial bridge and giving these tepid explanations?
Maybe, because it has something that it wants far more, and it needs the Russians for it. Maybe, it’s the new Iran nuclear deal. And, the White House wants it so badly, it is willing to placate Russia on Ukraine by blocking the transfer.
