One thing that hasn't been discussed much....the majority of launches are coming from Russian soil....Patriot missile defense might be more useful.

5. NATO members are supposed to protect each other.

With conditions.

You do something to invite attack, you're on your own.

Look at the phrasing. If a NATO country gives Ukr planes, well, that's on them. If in response they get attacked, maybe we'll provide them with some anti-tank weapons and blankets.

Now, if NATO gives Ukr planes (or the US, a NATO country), then NATO as a whole could be stuck footing a war.

Now, why the US would feel that it's in charge of what other countries do, at their own risk, dunno.

6. Patriot missiles?

Providing those to Ukraine would be considered provocative and bring on WWIII...and upset Putin!!!

7. Why would Tony Blinken get their hopes up like he did?

I'm upset about that. I can feel the sadness at the pit of my stomach over this.

8. "Officially"

They are going to magically wind up there.

Again, Biden and the people he's surrounded by aren't stupid.

11. Putin now gets to dictate what is or is not acceptable while genocide is taking place.

12. Wrong department
