If DOD won't do it?

Of course, that leaves less money for DNC donations. Are you listening, JB?

Our guys fly F-16s and whatever, but the Polish pilots know how to fly MIGs. So what good would it be for them to bring the MIGs to our base in Germany? The MIGs need to be delivered to Ukraine, just as Ted Lieu says - ASAP!

has to be reached. It's pilots have to fly the jets to a non-NATO destination and from there to Ukraine. Best to avoid NATO airspace.

It can be done and should've been done. Putin is crazy but not that crazy. He's having much trouble with Ukraine so he'd best not try NATO, whose combined forces are much stronger than Russia's.

And that includes nukes also...aimed dead at the Kremlin and Putin's other haunts.
