Whyd they even need the US' blessing? Normally the country that manufactured the arms has a veto but in this case that was Russia. So who cares?
Of course Russia would have vetoed these jets being used against them so it sounds like this 'rule ' doesn't always apply either.
But well done to the polish. Of course they know what it's like to be first on the chopping block, sadly.
It’s written in the Nitter link but Poland wanted the backing of the US in the event Russia would attack Poland. They wanted it to be an “Allied” decision as opposed to just a Polish decision.
Same reason even major powers like Germany coordinate with the US when it comes to giving Ukraine weapons: the US is the only country in the world at the moment that is completely invincible, so having it share the responsibility is a good idea
US invincibility was proved when they won the Vietnam War.
Defending and attacking are two different things. I meant the US cannot be defeated by an attacker.
then Russia makes a better example of a invincible empire.
Sweden, France, Germany have all tried at their peak strength to conquer Russia and failed.
USA with its geographical isolation has been lucky in that regard.
Maybe in Tsarist and Soviet times. Today, not so much.
Yah a fully expendable population makes for unlimited cannon fodder :(
Edit: Not saying Russians are expendable. Just saying that their previous dictatorships (and arguably the current!) considers them as such. I have nothing against Russians but I do against their governments.
It's mad to think this country has only had a democracy for a year or so in the 90s. Which began with the fall of the USSR and ended with Yeltsin's coup.
Russians aren't more expendable than any other human being. They're just being treated as such by their fascist regime. I know it's easy to start thinking badly of all of them because of the idiotic war, but they're human beings too. The ones outside of the kremlin at least.
Sorry, I didn't mean Russians are expendable of course! (Hence the sad smiley). In fact I was lamenting the way the Soviet and Tsarist governments treated their population. Sorry if this wasn't clear.
And I'm sure 90% of Russian soldiers are not happy to fight this war either. I'm sure they'd prefer being home with wife & kids rather than dodging bullets.
do you have an example of Russian federation being defeated in an attack?
do you have an example of the russian federation getting attacked by a near-peer adversary without the now defunct soviet union defending it?
Уйди, московский тролль.
yeah I had to use Google translate.
still no examples
