Russia just launched its most brazen attack on NATO territory since World War Two. On Tuesday night, at least 19 Russian military drones invaded Poland’s airspace in a seven-hour assault that shocked the world. This was no accident or stray missile – this was Putin testing how far he can push the West.
The attack was massive and coordinated. Russian drones flew in from Belarus and directly from Russia itself, targeting multiple Polish cities. One drone even smashed into a Polish home, putting innocent families in danger. Poland had to shut down four major airports while the battle raged overhead.
Poland fought back hard, and NATO finally showed some teeth. Polish pilots shot down multiple drones while Dutch F-35 fighters joined the fight. German Patriot missiles activated and Italian surveillance planes scrambled to help. For the first time ever, NATO warplanes engaged threats in member nation airspace.
The timing tells you everything about Putin’s game plan. This attack happened just one week after President Trump met with Poland’s president at the White House. Putin saw Trump building stronger ties with our allies and decided to send a message. The Russian dictator is testing whether America and NATO will stand strong.
Russia’s response proves they think we’re all fools. Moscow claimed the drones weren’t even theirs and blamed Ukraine instead. Their diplomat in Poland said there was “no evidence” the drones were Russian, even though everyone watched them fly in from Russian territory. Putin’s regime lies as easily as they breathe.
This attack puts every American at risk through our NATO commitments. When Russia attacks Poland, they attack all of us under Article 5 of the NATO treaty. Poland called for emergency NATO meetings, and rightfully so. This is exactly the kind of aggression our founding fathers warned us about from foreign powers.
Putin keeps pushing boundaries because he thinks Biden made America weak. The Russian strongman has been testing NATO airspace for months with smaller drone attacks. Now he launched the biggest assault on NATO territory in decades, betting the West won’t fight back with real force.
America must lead from strength, not weakness. Our Polish allies stood up to Russian aggression and deserve our full support. Putin only respects power, and it’s time he learned that attacking our friends means attacking us. The free world is watching to see if we’ll defend liberty or let tyrants run wild.
