Putin has never made any secret of what he intends to do. Poland shoots down Putin’s drones and warns it’s ‘closer to conflict than at any time since World War II’
Almost from the day the Berlin Wall fell, and certainly since he came to power Vladimir Putin has said that the Soviet Empire should never have been abandoned, and should be rebuilt. His invasions of Georgia, the Crimean peninsula, and lately the rest of Ukraine should have proven that. Now his forces are violating NATO airspace in Poland.
Poland has warned it is closer to conflict than at any point since the Second World War following an unprecedented incursion into Nato territory by Russian drones.
The country’s air defences were scrambled after 19 projectile UAVs entered its airspace during a major attack on western Ukraine, Polish prime minister Donald Tusk said.
Poland shot down some of those drones, and it provided photos of at least one. Click thru.
Mr Tusk has invoked Article 4 of the Nato treaty, demanding consultation with its member states.
All the politicians are issuing soundbites, or statements; it is hard to tell them apart today.
Time to make sure the emergency supplies are up to snuff, and maybe order some iodine pills. Your gourmet pink salt is fine and all, but you should be consuming some iodized salt.
And that is the Polish flag above. I'm sure some people will wonder.
Why wasn't nato called up when we had ccp balloons above our country. We have had drones over Crimiea shot down.
ReplyDeleteBecause NATO is mostly useless. NATO is most effective when the US is doing most of the fighting. And the US military was not so good under Biden
DeleteOr maybe they were good, but they got bad orders from the whoever was in charge
DeleteYeah, it's Russia. It's been that way since forever. Only the stupidity and inbredness of the Czars kept Imperial Russia from effectively acting this way.
