Poland says it has shot down drones that entered its airspace during Russian attack on Ukraine

Source: CNN

Poland’s military said early Wednesday that it had shot down drones that violated its airspace during a Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine, in what is potentially a major provocation for Europe.

“Weapons have been deployed, and services are actively working to locate the downed objects,” said a statement from Poland’s Operational Command posted on X.

The statement said a military operation was ongoing and urged residents to stay in their homes. Additional information about the “drone-type objects” was not provided.

Poland is a member of the NATO alliance, a transatlantic defense pact involving the US that employs the principle that an attack on one is an attack on all.

If we fail to back any NATO declaration, we will be more vulnerable to joint attacks by previously self declared hostile nations with nuclear weapons. Trump would be asking for a takeover by China and N Korea, no matter what happens between the rest of the West and Russia. There's also no reason to believe that just because there are 32 member states of NATO, they'd come to our defense. We're supposed to come to their defense.

Even the US Military, the biggest in the world, would want to uphold the NATO treaty.

And we have putin's puppet Lukashenko massing the belarus army along its western border with Poland and the Baltics. This is ostensibly for a "military exercise," which is the same charade as before russia's invasion of Ukraine.
