Sources warn Russia may be preparing a provocation in Baltic states or Poland
Russia preparing possible ‘provocation’ in Baltic states or Poland, sources say www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
Guy who got his ass absolutely kicked in a bar fight turns around to the crowd pitying him and screams, “anyone else want a piece of this?!?” as a tooth spits from his mouth and bounces on the ground. A girl shifts her foot to avoid touching it.
I'm not going to downplay the risk, it's obvious that a desperate Russia is very dangerous. But I struggle to understand why they would risk an even bigger backlash from Europe.
When Putin wants to lose everything….. be my guest!!!
Putin and his gangs are continuously undermining liberal democracies
Putin apologists and the wilfully naïve say that the fact Russia is bogged down in Ukraine proves they are not a threat to the rest of Europe. On the contrary, what the full scale invasion of Ukraine proves is that thr Putin regime is reckless, foolhardy, and dangerous.
Battle of the Very Small Bulge?
Worth noting that pretty much all of these types of reports have turned out to be accurate over the past ~10 years. The intelligence on the ground in Russia is very very good.
Vielleicht ein Grund,warum Russen von der Krim abhauen?
‼️ The Guardian: Moscow may soon resort to a hybrid attack to test NATO unity and the US's readiness to defend allies. This is not a full-scale invasion, but missile strikes, drone attacks… The Baltic states believe that the Kremlin is trying to force the West to reduce support for Ukraine.
Too late. The West has committed and backing down now would be existential. Won’t happen. Putin would be sui cidalal to go to war against NATO now.
"The Baltic states believe that the Kremlin is trying to force the West to reduce support for Ukraine." So we need to drastically step up support for Ukraine before it's too late. The US is no ally for anybody. The US pedophile is only friend with dictators.
The problem with this is that Kaliningrad would be highly vulnerable to being overrun very quickly, probably by Poland in consultation with the Baltics. Russia doesn’t have anything left to do the same with the Baltics, etc. It would be Putin’s dumbest move yet.
The best way to deal with this is for Europe to ramp up missile and drone production for Ukraine so that Ukraine can destroy or disrupt Russia's missile and drone production.
Russia already attacked our ammunition depots, our undersea cables, they sent attack drones and aircraft into EU and NATO states. They also started arson and other terror strikes inside the EU. We should have been responding with punitive actions years ago already.
Seems dumb, frankly. That just gives the west more of an excuse to spend, more of an excuse to manufacture, more broad support from the population. I don't think they should count on Trump to not want to steal the glory from beating the piss out of Russia.
