A lot of people don't understand exactly what happened. It is as follows:
US (Xiden admin) tells Poland "Give your jets to Ukraine"
Poland refuses because that would put Poland in a war with Russia in a way that would also remove other countries' NATO obligations to them as they would be the aggressor. In other words, they would be on their own.
Poland says: "We don't want to do it, but we want to help Ukraine so we will give you (the US) the jets so you can send them to Ukraine"
US rejects the offer because it was always only meant to screw Poland over. They refuse to do it themselves.
Poland then says, if the US makes the same requests of other NATO countries, they should do the exact same thing as they did. Have the US do its own dirty work.
