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
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.

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.
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.
