Thinking about the US denial to Poland of the transfer of Polish Mig-29 fighters to Ukraine...

Wondering if this very public refusal to agree with Poland about the transfer of Mig-29 fighters to Ukraine by using a Nato airbase in Germany is really a giant "head fake" (to use a basketball term) by the US, Poland and Nato and the transfer of the fighter jets has already been planned/accomplished in another way. Giving deniability to the US and Poland about the risky implications of the transfer....Just a thought...feint within a feint...chess move....

Where I've been getting my news...

Really soured on most domestic (US) news sources like CNN and MSNBC (still watch a couple of programs until I get tired of commercials).

My main sources these days:

DU

France24

DW

SkyNews (no longer owned by NewsCorp)

BBC World News sometimes but they don't stream live for free...

Al Jazeera (a bit of a grain of salt about this one)

I have a free three month youtube.com (not youtube tv) and watch most of these by live stream through my Fire TV Cube device...works well...minimal or no commercials and much better, not so opinionated reporting from these services...
