president zelenskyy has said, you know, it s a true leadership that president biden exerted true leadership when he spoke the truth about this genocide. so it folks on ukraine. it folks on u.s. policy and the u.s. actions, probably nato actions, european actions, as actions, european actions as well and it sends a message to the ukrainians that we are with them. and the message could be, for example, sending mi-17s, mi-24s or those migs that poland is willing to give and so far have not been given. those kinds of armaments would certainly have a direct impact on this genocide maybe not being carried out. absolutely. the way to stop genocide is to stop putin. he needs to be defeated, he needs to be defeated in eastern ukraine, he needs to be defeated
Despite Russia’s isolation following its invasion of Ukraine, the Philippines’ defense secretary there are no plans to scrap the contract for Mi-17s.
mi-17s, two little birds and so on. these are aircraft that have some of them at least two of them have very, very, very sensitive intelligence gathering capability on it and when i say sensitive, i mean i m talking about cameras that do day and night mission that also allow for laser targeting of people on the ground. this is what our military is equipped with. and the united states is allowing this false narrative to be perpetuated and the media is dutily carrying this narrative that somehow we have to do this. we have no choice, got to get those american citizens out. what people are raising, intention people, veterans, active duty. military people, not just military people by the way. intelligence personnel, they are saying it seems to them almost as if the u.s. is quite happy to let these american citizens fall into the taliban so that they can then be used as the justification for what they are doing, because will are standard operating procedures that every single person in the
will the u.s. allow if it is looking like the other advanced aircraft that it looks like we have provided the aircraft over the years, will the u.s. allow the aircraft fall into the taliban s hands or is there a way for that to happen? i think that you can understand for me not to respect to that speculate on that, tara. there are flying missionings everyday and we have made commitments to help that, and refurbishing black hawk helicopters and financing some of the mi-17s, in terms of the financial contractual support, and then the provision of the other property, and i will not talk about the destructionf property going forward. we are going to be focus on making sure they have the capabilities to operate in the field. but will the u.s. allow that
on the weapons. will the u.s. allow if it looks like the advanced aircraft we ve provided afghan forces over the years, will the u.s. allow those aircraft to fall into taliban hands or are there plans under way to make sure that doesn t happen. i think you can understand why i m not going to speculate about that. there is an afghan air force in place. they are flying missions every day. we have made commitments to help improve their capabilities. those commitments remain in place, including refurbishing black hawke helicopters, helping them finance the refurbishment of some of their mi-17s, and then the provision of super tecanos. i m not going to speculate about the destruction of personnel i m sorry, the destruction of property going forward. we are going to continue to stay focused on making sure they have the capabilities to use in the field. would you say that the u.s. will not allow those aircraft we are always worried about
