Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.
Display:
... the Department of Defense's chief spokesperson JOHN KIRBY told reporters that Kyiv had "received additional platforms and parts" -- with "platforms" meaning aircraft -- to increase its fleet size.

That sent reporters, including your friends here at NatSec Daily, off to figure out what new planes Ukraine now had and who gave it to them.

But it turns out that Kirby misspoke ...

Another LIE!

I listened to the press briefing and John Kirby spoke quite clearly and emphasized in typical Pentagon arrogance that "platforms" were aircraft. He refused to clarify further specifics how and where these crossed the border into Ukraine. A very dangerous path the US White House and Pentagon are on.
