    “This decision not to provide the Polish MiG’s is inexplicable. There's no military, moral or legal distinction between supplying Javelins and Stingers that would rule out those MiG’s.” -

    Biden’s decision not to transfer Polish MiG fighter jets to Ukraine is inexplicable & indefensible. Biden feared he would cross a Putin red line, risking all-out war in Europe but our current inadequate efforts are already a “pretext” for Putin. More here:

    Biden’s White House has offered numerous rationales for rejecting the MiG transfer, so many that it suggests a desperate effort to hide the real reason: Biden is intimidated by Russian President Vladimir Putin. My full analysis here:

    We need more resolve here. Putin has succeeded in deterring us where we failed to deter him. What's wrong with this picture?

    We have boasted about the intel we are providing - as we should. We're boasting about the cyberwar assistance we've given - which we should. All of these are things Putin could say, "you're in the kill chain right now and that's aggression by NATO. And I'm going to respond."

    If Putin wants a pretext for a broader war, he already has it, and more.

    We have been boasting that we're shipping Javelins and Stingers to Ukraine. They presumably have to cross a border to get to . They are weapons of war. They kill Russians just like MIGs in Ukrainian hands would do.

    We're told that flying planes from NATO airspace into would irritate the Russians or might be a pretext for more Russian action. Well, I wish someone would explain that to me.

    Deterrence is working in the Ukraine crisis, just not for the right side. Russia has limited the West's response while keeping the freedom to grind Ukraine down. Putin is getting much of what he wants from NATO for free.

    Western deterrence failed in Ukraine, but now Russian deterrence is enjoying unfortunately spectacular success. Biden's total military quiescence imposes costs, strategic & humanitarian. It's utterly wrong to assume every risk leads to massive escalation.

    Ukraine’s tragedy is having dangerous impacts in the Middle East, fueled by Biden failures. Iran’s efforts to achieve regional hegemony persist, and gullible Westerners still believe they can make a viable agreement to limit its quest for nuclear weapons.

    I'm glad to see new interest for granting Taiwan full diplomatic recognition by the United States. I've been a proponent for over twenty years and believe US interests are best served by giving Taiwan our unambiguous support.
