There's been a lot of revolting comments from various Americans about the War in Ukraine over the last 27 months, but Thursday and Friday's comments by the Arms Controllers / Disarmers was, IMO, among the worst.
These are educated people, not MAGA trolls / politicians. /1

Poland is giving them to the US and saying "do what you want with them" in exchange for retired F-16s.
The US is giving them to Ukraine.
This means the Russians have to take it up with the US, not with Poland, because it's not the Polish handing them over to Ukraine.

This is remarkable. Macron clearly didn't believe a word Putin was saying and pushed him. Putin was acting like he was doing Macron a favor just by talking to him.
Whatever settlement comes from the war, this needs to be played back over & over again. Russia will lie and cheat.
I just gained a lot more respect for France's President Macron.
This is the actual telephone call between Macron and Putin 4 days before the Invasion of Ukraine.
It's a very tense conversation and shows Putin's extreme delusions about what was happening in Ukraine.
