Speaking in the country’s parliament, Tusk said intelligence assessments from #NATO, Ukraine and Poland indicated that “the most likely scenario for the next few months” is that Russia will step up attacks against Ukraine and its allies, including Poland. /2

Tusk said Russia’s aim was to “weaken NATO’s integrity” & convince its members that “Article 5 is more theoretical than practical.” Under Article 5, an armed attack on one member is viewed as an attack on all. Russian hybrid attacks, espionage & stray drones have probed the threshold of what

constitutes such an attack. “There is a real risk that drones or other types of missiles could enter the territory of one or several NATO countries on the eastern flank and cause damage. And the official narrative will be that it was an accident,” Tusk said.

“we are not going to die for Poland, we are not going to die for Latvia or Lithuania.” The warning came as Tusk said the coming fall and winter months could prove “tragically critical” for Ukraine, with Russia expected to carry out continuous, high-intensity strikes on major Ukrainian cities while

targeting warehouses, rail infrastructure and other logistics essential to the country’s defense. Such attacks have intensified in recent weeks, also covering western Ukraine close to the Polish border, as Russia has increased its use of jet-powered drones that Ukraine has struggled to intercept.

Where is the false equivalences? Are you saying far left never use misinformation? I never mentioned any incident - I posted an article but never made a comment about it. Why accuse someone of "pedaling" such? Why was Trump post misinformation but not the Salisbury incident?

An insightful read. It seems the far right and far left use devious, chaotic & Machiavellian tactics to gain or hold on to power. I really love the concept of free movement (a very human trait) but I feel the world is too dishonest for it to work. Imho, ECHR should be adapted to deal with this.
