Poland has MIG’s which the Ukrainian pilots already know how to fly. Sounds like the US came to an arrangement with Poland to supply some of their MIG’s to Ukraine. Assume the yanks are going to replace them with US equipment and training for Polish pilots.
Creating the conditions? We’re supposed to be free, sovereign and democratic nations free to self determine our direction. If we’re dancing to Putins tune we are none of those things.

They’ve made promises. Boris’ promises are as worthless as the IOU’s Harry and Lloyd put in the suitcase in Dumb and Dumber but he has made them. His word is his bond. Ask any of his ex wives, mistresses, girlfriends, children, employees etc etc.

There’s a few good signs that A is more likely. Such as
Putin without doubt has a cult like following within his own party and military but he also seems to have enemies within. A palace coup is a possibility.
