That's because America is content to fight to the last Ukrainian. If Poland supplies jet-fighters to Ukraine, then they get drawn into the war, so they offered them to America (let America distribute them) but that would draw them into the war. Besides: America has it's own wars and invasions, it's not cost effective for the oil and arms lobbyists to trigger a full-blown nuclear war, why should Poland act in American interests? (they already have a refugee crisis on their hands). America has already done enough; by replacing the Ukrainian government; sending troops (previously); now backing another proxy war. They don't care about people; $/oil, what's in it for them. Yes it is sickening, but one thing is clear Poland won't play "the patsy", get left "holding the bag"; America is a "fair-weather friend" (just ask Iraq and Libya).

@CountScarlioni That still doesn't explain why America turned down the Polish Migs or why Poland didn't join in. There are a number of NATO missile bases on the Russian border; at least one is in Poland. Russia has short range nuclear weapons positioned opposite them; H Clinton tried to claim that was illegal, but she was wrong. That's another reason that Poland won't join in the war; Germany won't allow their airfields to be used and the EU insists that the UK doesn't fly weapons through their airspace; it's because they would become legitimate targets. The corrupt American media is providing the alternative reality; America has invaded several countries; toppled regimes (including in Ukraine), killed millions... they are in no position to complain, but they do. This is about oil/$ for the American lobbyists, or selling weapons; they don't care about people, it's just an excuse; now we are waiting to see if the propagandists can get WW3 going... The polish government was clever, they said to America you do it; here are the means... the means to start WW3, so of course America declined.

@CountScarlioni I agree; it's too provocative for American pilots to fly Migs into Ukrainian airspace (particularly as Russia has air superiority, shorter supply lines and the S-300 system) It's not all about selling weapons; America has a massive military budget, it might even come under "foreign aid", but the weapons manufacturers will get paid. Maybe think of this more as a "loss leader"; an "investment" but more like free heroin, you'll be wanting some more, no doubt. That is a good question, why are EU companies being sanctioned because their transactions were expressed in American dollars (even for a second)? Or Venezuela unable to sell oil in dollars, because they kicked out the private companies? America and Ukraine were very much against Nordstream2 (now cancelled); that would have undercut Ukrainian tariffs, EU companies were getting sanctioned for working with Russia on this. It's a form of economic warfare; but if the lights haven't gone out in, for example, Italy; then at least we know the gas industry is still working (in a war?! Funny that). The CRIB countries have set up their own exchange mechanism (an aid to free market-capitalism; how ironic). Still it looks like America will be selling more LPG; Russia hasn't turned off the gas, but (lets see) last time, if "The West" tries stealing Russian Oligarchs stuff (which they stole legitimately); The Western interests lose 400 aeroplanes and the rest have to fly around Russia. Besides oligarchs can afford lawyers, but the piddling problems of billionaires don't interest me. Russia has entered an eight year civil war (13K dead already); they gave NATO (America) and the EU about two weeks notice to get their troops/diplomats and ex-pats out; the media predicted the very day of the invasion and the reason for this and forcing a referendum in Crimea was because Russia drew a line, the Western interests crossed it (and do you think Russia is going to allow "The Cossacks to join a Western alliance? Does that sound even slightly likely?) There are far-right groups in Russia; a chap from the BBC was doing some documentaries on Russian "counter-culture"; attitude to homosexuality (very prudish); in another he's trending on Russian social media, "What's the crazy black guy doing talking to the Nazi's?" It's not about fascism, more about imposing a right-wing government on Ukraine (that kicked things off). There is indeed a mass of complications; not just a civil war; geopolitics and as is often the case completely different objectives. For the EU it's another member; they said they wouldn't admit an independent Scotland, but offer money to bankrupt Ukraine (17-20 billion in "grants" so far). America, it's oil and gas; finding an enemy and since the EU is being described as NATO territory, I'm sure they'd like to get the EU another member. It's (always) all about the money with America! Russia, aren't allowing the EU to buy out their leased Naval facilities, now they don't lease. No additional NATO bases on the border; the existing ones if they can house Tomahawk missile either they go or short range nuclear weapons (it's legal) get aimed at EU countries. Gas, Russia has gas; oil... 11 time zones... they've got oil. Militarily, they put the first: satellite; dog; man woman; space station in space; did the first space-walk; landed a probe on Venus (it lasted about 5 mins); I know (from working in Russia); this is a technologically advance country; a highly educated population and a lot of the cold-war rhetoric was guff. There are wars in the 21st century. America is in 5; we get no coverage of Yemen; Somalia; troops in Syria; Iraq Afghanistan... selective (as you say); but no the American press only want to talk about the horrors of this war. The war is eight years old, what was America doing in Ukraine; bio-labs; peculiar oil deals; replacing the government? I've no idea, but something funny was going on. I don't think Russia is in Georgia; with Crimea, rather a foregone conclusion; go back with Russia or stay, they all speak Russian; that wasn't the same as this. Indeed Russia have threatened nuclear war; I believe they perceive this as the Cuban missile crisis in reverse; they'll want NATO missile bases off their border (and so do I; as they cover Europe and America holds the launch codes). Me I'm more interested in: lies; propaganda and manipulation. I have no dog in the fight; my condolences to the Russian and Ukrainian people, because the Western interests could have stopped this before it started. A peacekeeping force from NATO is not required. This chap explains the matter; I agree with him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4
