Well then time to send the fricking Migs if they whack shite on Polish soil.

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday warned that any cargo transporting weapons to Ukraine will be considered "legitimate targets" for Russian troops as it pushes forward with its invasion.

The comments come as Ukraine continues to ask for military help in its fight against Russian troops.

"We clearly said that any cargo moving into the Ukrainian territory which we would believe is carrying weapons would be fair game,” Lavrov said on RT Friday, ABC News reported.

“This is clear because we are implementing the operation the goal of which is to remove any threat to the Russian Federation coming from the Ukrainian soil," he added.

The threat comes a day after Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) introduced a resolution to give Ukraine fighter jets and air defense systems.

If they attack anything in Poland, all of NATO is going, not just the MiGs.

With the sterling leadership of the Turnip I wouldn't be that confident. The stupid fricker gave Iran a handy the other day after attacking us in Iraq.

I’ve seen several videos of these weapons being captured by Russians who are now using them

I think they just mean they will blow up anything we are moving in Ukraine, including the mercenaries

This.

And I think that is common sense. As soon as it crosses the border it is fair game

Right. I replied specifically to OP’s comment on attacks in Polish territory.

Can you blame them? The world has essentially declared war on Russia "unofficially" by saying hey we aren't at war but we are sending everything EXCEPT boots on the ground

These frickers are going to start WW3

Then Biden will blame Putin for escalating when it's us

Poor Russia. I mean, it’s not like they did anything to ostracize themselves.

Have you looked at it from the Russian point of view?

They issued a statement like that a week or two ago. This is not a new position for them to take which is why these calls for sending arms is mind blowing to me.

Yes? They still invaded another nation and started a war with very weak attempts at justification. If they didn’t know this is the reaction they would get, they’re even more strategically inept than I previously thought.

If it is Ukrainian airspace, yeah, it would be a legitimate target. You do not get to pretend there is neutrality when you are entering a war zone to supply a belligerent. Has everyone forgotten the Lend Lease program in World War II?

I am hoping this does not happen. It will only widen the conflict.

Sounds very familiar,. Seems as though the German Empire made a similar declaration

This too. Since when do parties at war just allow the other side to resupply This is not cause for escalation unless Russia strikes outside of Ukraine.
