Poland Pushes Back Against Putin’s Special War

By John R. Schindler • 10/20/17

More than any country in the West, Poland in recent years has been ahead of the curve in resisting aggressive moves emanating from Russia.
Six months before Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea, Warsaw was embracing territorial defense, fearing invasion from the East.

Last year the Polish military, which is in the middle of an extensive defense modernization effort, created a new, part-time force designed to resist Putin’s “little green men” in case Moscow decides to unleash a Crimea-like operation on Poland.

Russian citizens doing such things can be expelled—as the SVR’s man just was—but it’s much more difficult to do anything about Westerners who push Kremlin lies. “The question is what should be done about Polish citizens who do the same things” as Karnaukov, Targalski added—and there indeed is the rub.

Across the West, citizens are free to express their opinions, even when they happen to be Russian-scripted disinformation.
Such lies ought to be discredited in the public square—something that the American government mysteriously can’t get around to doing—while Russian intelligence operatives and disinformation-peddlers need to be identified and expelled, as has just happened in Poland.

As usual, Warsaw is leading the way in resisting Russian threats to Europe and the West.
The Karnaukhov case demonstrates an effective way to push back against Kremlin spies and their lies without infringing on the civil liberties that Westerners rightly hold dear.
If the rest of NATO follows Poland’s robust counterintelligence lead here, Putin’s Special War will find it tough going rather quickly.

Our Nato Allies see what is happening to the US & they are with us, regardless of what is sitting in the Oval Office.

Please Poland, please. send. help.

1. Unfortunately, our current admin and Congress are missing in action on this...

Hopefully, we can survive 2018 and maybe even take the congress back.

Then, perhaps we can start an effective counter to the Russians.
