Poles also know that the whole Mig transfer BS was a Polish plan to deflect their fear of getting actively involved.
This is complete BS, as the atlantic article showed (which is the paper of note that the usa establishmentt debates things)
'On March 6, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Face the Nation:
That gets a green light. In fact, we're talking with our Polish friends right now about what we might be able to do to backfill their needs if in fact they choose to provide these fighter jets to the Ukrainians. What could we do? How can we help to make sure that they get something to backfill the planes that they're handing over to the Ukrainians? We're in very active discussions with them about that.
'Each of these criticisms was misplaced, and that is putting it kindly. More of the problem lies on the American rather than on the Polish side, it would appear, where the Department of State and the Department of Defense were not coordinated-the job of the National Security Council staff. For close observers of last summer's Afghanistan fiasco, this foul-up was disturbingly familiar. When you are at war, you need to be disciplined in your decision making, and once again, the United States was not.'
