It’s hard to imagine an administration more in confusion than that of Joe Biden.
That was evident in the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster. As a result, 13 Americans died and many others were injured. Biden allowed Americans and their allies to be tossed around by terrorists.
Now, we see his handling of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and, once again, he doesn’t seem to know what he is doing.
The disarray at his government’s administration can be seen in the MiG-29 aircrafts. They were supposed to have been sent from Poland and Ukraine to assist them with establishing a no-flyzone. Streiff, my co-worker has described a lot.
The planes should not have been made public if they really wanted to fly to Ukraine. This would compromise their security. It would have been wise to keep this secret at all costs, until they arrived safely in Ukraine. It was the first major failure.
Antony Blinken Secretary of State said Sunday that the U.S. had given the go-ahead for the agreement.
John Kirby, the Pentagon spokesperson at that time, said that this was an unsound idea and contradicted Blinken. Kirby said this was not a “tenable” idea.

But on Wednesday, the confusion continued, with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki saying, “I guess it’s a temporary breakdown in communication, but we have a strong and abiding relationship with Poland.”
The Biden Administration has almost every communication in temporary break. This seems to be their constant state.
“And that is the issue that is operational, and we’re still discussing,” Psaki declared about the jets.
Okay, so it’s not dead and they’re discussing it? Well, no. According to Pentagon, no. Again.
Officially, Pentagon rescinds plans to fly Polish MiG-29 fighter planes into Ukraine. It called the move “high-risk” and would increase tensions with Russia.

#UPDATEOn Wednesday, the Pentagon rejected the Pentagon’s plan to send fighter jets from Poland into Kyiv in order to fight Russian forces. This is a cold rejection of Ukraine’s desire to increase its firepower.

It would still be funny if this were happening in another situation. But it’s not funny when it’s on such a deadly serious topic, where an ill-considered action could trip you into World War III, and when the Biden lefthand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing at any given moment. This is embarrassing for our government, and it’s embarrassing for our country. Especially when we saw how Biden’s prior confusion and weakness may have given Vladimir Putin the belief that now was the time to move on Ukraine to begin with.
Volodymyr Zelesky, Ukrainian President, watched this unfold with both despair and anger.
“Together we must return courage to some Western leaders,” Zelensky said in a Wednesday night address.
“So that they finally do what they had to do on the first day of the invasion. Either close the Ukrainian sky from Russian missiles and bombs, or give us fighter jets so that we can do everything ourselves,” he fumed.
His anger is understandable when first, he’s told they’re on the way, and then they’re pulled back. If you think they’re a potential NATO issue, why put all this confusion out there at all — then later wimp out and appear silly — yet again?
