Huju speaks to the reality that we don’t know enough to question the judgement of the intelligence and defense experts who appear fairly certain that the marginal benefits of providing these planes to the Ukrainians (who actually have aircraft of their own they’ve kept grounded) is more than offset by the risk of expanding the conflict to Poland and other Eastern European states providing the MIG 29s. Candidly, I’m amazed that Putin has shown a degree of “restraint” thusfar in the face of incredible resistance from the Ukrainians and substantial losses of Russian life. What I don’t like, however, is the apparent lack of coordination on this issue across the Administration and with our allies.
