Will history repeat?

1. The President has promised not to send american forces to fight in a european war.
2. He considers establishing a no go zone for tyrannical forces and direct aid to a beleaguered country but is concerned he lacks public support.
3. A group known as America First opposes any US intervention.
4. A vocal minority hopes to aid the President by advocating US intervention in europe.

Of course that was early 1941.

CNN: US working with Poland to provide Ukraine with fighter jets.

The US is working with Poland on the possibility of Warsaw providing fighter jets to Ukraine along with consulting with other allies, a White House spokesperson confirmed, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pushes for eastern European countries to send fighter aircraft into his country.

As part of the conversations with Poland, the US is determining what “capabilities we could provide to backfill Poland if it decided to transfer planes to Ukraine,” said the spokesperson, who would not detail what backfill options are under consideration.

The spokesperson said sending fighter jets into Ukraine is a “sovereign decision for any country to make” and noted there are a host of logistics to work through, including how the aircraft would be transferred from Poland to Ukraine.

Two lawmakers participating in a Zoom call with the Ukrainian President on Saturday said Zelensky indicated Poland had signaled it is prepared to send MiG fighter jets but “they are only waiting for you [the US] to allow it.”
