In part:To date only the USA has deployed to Poland a F-16 squadron; which may have been a planned deployment before the crisis started.
Sadly no other NATO member has also deployed. I exclude the NATO AWACS patrolling, which is not even using bases in Poland.
I don't know why NATO has not moved, at least to the Baltic states and Poland. A military move into the Ukraine now I expect has not even been on the agenda.
Sending the EU's foreign envoy to Kiev, Baroness Ashton, is a diplomatic gesture. Why did the Ukrainian PM have to fly all the way to Washington DC? Could he not have been met half-way?
To date not much imagination on show, albeit on my limited reading.
