What Everyone Missed About Russia's Attack on Poland - Paul Warburg



Russian drones just struck Poland. It seems clear that it wasn't an accident, and NATO article 4 has been triggered. But there's something here a lot of people are missing. This wasn't a probe to see how NATO would react - Russia already knows how NATO will react. Instead, there's a darker plan at play here - a plan to help Russia do more damage to Ukraine at a lower cost to itself. I connect all the dots and show why Russia can't manage - and wouldn't risk - a war with NATO anytime soon.

He believes that Russia sent these drones into Poland to move resources from NATO countries away from Ukraine war. I disagree - NATO and its members have fully anticipated such a scenario and have made plans to deal with this.
