Russia cannot be that stupid.


Normally I would agree, but a month and a half ago I did a little reading up on Russian incursions into NATO spaces: LINK

quote:

Russia has ramped up their testing of NATO boundaries since March. From 2022 through February 2025 there were two proven incursions and one suspected one.

November 2022 - Poland
A single Russian missile (likely stray from Ukraine strikes) entered ~40 km into Poland near Przewodów, killing two civilians. NATO assessed as unintentional.

December 2023 - Poland
A Russian missile entered for ~3 minutes near Oserdów before returning to Ukraine. Polish forces monitored but did not engage.

July 24, 2024 - Romania
Air raid sirens activated in Tulcea district; warnings issued for possible drone incursion from Ukraine strikes. No confirmed entry or damage.

That's it.


However, since the beginning of March this year:

March 24, 2025 - Poland
A Russian missile entered at 4:23 AM near Oserdów for ~3 minutes during strikes on Ukraine.

April 2025 - Norway
A Russian fighter jet entered over sea near Vardø; unclear if intentional.

July 2025 - Norway
A Russian Jet crossed border over sea near Vardø; navigation error suspected.

August 2025 - Norway
A Russian jet entered over uninhabited Finnmark area; unclear intent.

August 26, 2025 - United States (Alaska ADIZ)
Russian Tu-95 bombers and Su-35 fighters detected in Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (Air Defense Identification Zone); remained in international airspace but triggered intercepts.

September 9–10, 2025 - Poland
19–21 Russian Geran/Shahed drones (with extra fuel tanks) entered via Belarus, penetrating deep (100 km); 3–4 shot down by Polish/NATO jets (Dutch F-35s). Poland closed airspace over Warsaw/Lublin; first direct NATO-Russia engagement. Invoked Article 4.

September 10, 2025 - Latvia
Russian drone detected and intercepted during Ukraine strikes.

September 10, 2025 - Lithuania
A Russian drone entered briefly; monitored by NATO forces.

September 10, 2025 - Finland
Drone crossed border during regional strikes.

September 13, 2025 - Romania
Single Geran drone entered ~10 km, operated for ~50 minutes at low altitude; F-16s scrambled but did not engage as it exited toward Ukraine.

September 13–25, 2025 - Denmark
Drones over Copenhagen/Oslo airports; possible Russian link (unconfirmed); prompted Article 4 consideration.

September 13–25, 2025 - Norway (additional)
Unidentified drones; investigated for Russian ties.

September 14, 2025 - Romania
Second drone spotted near Ukraine border during strikes; jets scrambled.

September 15–20, 2025 - Germany
Unidentified Russian plane buzzed German Navy ship Hamburg in Baltic Sea (neutral airspace but provocative); Eurofighters scrambled.

September 19, 2025 - Estonia
Three armed MiG-31 jets entered ~100 km near Vaindloo Island for 12 minutes without flight plan/transponders; intercepted by Italian F-35s, Finnish/Swedish jets. "Unprecedentedly brazen." Invoked Article 4; NAC meeting.

September 19, 2025 - Poland
Russian Su-35s violated safety zone of Petrobaltic platform in Baltic Sea.

September 24, 2025 - United States (Alaska ADIZ)
Two Russian 2 Tu-95 bombers and two Russian Su-35 fighters in ADIZ; intercepted by E-3, 4 F-16s, KC-135s. Remained in international airspace.



In six months we've seen almost 6x more incursions (or near incursions) than we saw in the previous two and a half years. All of this taken together, I would think it's more likely that Trump is showing Putin that he's not Neville Chamberlain and the NATO agreement isn't going to be treated like the Treaty of Versailles.


Since posting that, there have been at least 8 other incursions of NATO sea, land and air spaces attributed to Russia. I don't think they are gearing up for an invasion nearly as much as I think they are trying to provoke a response to justify a greater response.

Well, I do believe they could drive them out of Poland with substantial material help from us.

Attacking NATO at any point ever would be suicide. Unless Trump withholds support, Russia would be absolutely demolished and it wouldn’t be close. They are struggling with Ukraine. Just adding Poland alone would cause the Russian military to collapse.

That's exactly what he wants you to think. Russia must be hurting bigly with sanctions of all kinds.

People don't seem to be able to think 2 steps down the line.

If Poland a NATO ally is attacked we'd be bound by NATO treaty to come to their help. That would not be good.

Russia is doing its best to break NATO by pushing up to the red line and seeing if we'll jump on board.

Are you ready for WWIII...this is what would happen if the US and other NATO countries decided to fight Russia

He's a victim of not paying any attention to EU/NATO readiness for the last 30 years, even when given a link.

Captured Russian Soldiers in Ukraine, now THIS is a fighting force that can take NATO down.

Ukrainian military from the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine captured 21 Russian military personnel in the Konstantinovka and Dobropillia areas

Poland will frick Russia up. They are 10 times more deadly than Ukraine. They dream of killing Russians. They will be like Islamic terrorist to them. Any polish soldier will gladly die if he can take a bunch of Russians with them.

They probably have tactical nukes too. Biden was trying to get them to them
His whole term

Well as long as they aim the nukes at you, then you are safe because that’s the one fricking place it will not hit. Their accuracy is obscenely bad
