  1. “Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said his country would formally request the invocation of NATO’s Article 4 in response to the violation of his country’s airspace by 19 Russian drones, some of which were shot down.”

  2. Rusians will keep pushing, until they are pushed back. Grow a spine, West – do fucking something.

  3. Poland will get a lot of advice.
    This is where Europe is strong

  4. Oh no, they’ll have a meeting about it. Putin has really gone too far this time. They might have even two meeting to really send a message.

  5. And he said that a lot of this drones where directly from belarus to Poland, worth to mention btw.

  6. That’s one step better then sending a strongly worded letter, so that is that. Unfortunately, provocations will continue unless an action, like an aerial exclusion zone, is decided.

    Hitler took neither “no” nor “yes, but” as an answer, and neither will Putin.

  7. >NATO’s Article 4 states: “The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened.”

    also

    >NATO is **not** treating the drone incursion into Polish territory as an attack, a NATO source told Reuters on Wednesday

    Probably nothing will come out of this i am afraid

  8. we must the attack on nato is started

    15 shaheds flown through ukraine , soon hundreds then thousands

    we need emergency war profuction efforts right fkking now

  10. Its here. Russians fucked NATO.
    Nato should respond. Quick.

  11. “What you did, Mr. Putin, was really really bad. We beg you not to do it again.”

    *Putin does it again*

    “Ok, that’s it, mister! We’ve warned you! No ice cream for you today!”

  12. Oh my god, a meeting?! Will they dare to send a strong worded letter afterward?

  13. Well damn, that’s one number below 5, shit is getting super serial now.

    Hopefully they actually do something to punish Russia

  14. All these posts are so cringe, none of you saying invocate article 5 would fight in a war if you were asked.

  15. missclick, they wanted to press “5”. 4 and 5 are close to each other
    (O_O)

  16. Of course we can expect Trump to be fully co operative and committed to taking this seriously along with his European counterparts. I’m sure he’ll *really* tell Putin off for this one… */s*

  17. Russia continues to take the piss and make a laughing stock of NATO. All this does is play into Trumps agenda of making NATO look useless so they go begging to him for help, which in turn will give the orange turd his peace prize.

    All this Russian aggression stems from Trump who has emboldened the enemies of the west to unite. Frankly Putin will not stop as he doesn’t see anyone as a serious threat.

  18. This never would’ve happened if TRUMP was president. Sorry, I just had to say it.

  20. I maybe geographically challenged but looking at a map (google) how does Russia, even launching from Belarus, accidentally fly drones over Poland heading for Ukraine ? It seems much too far west.

  21. Article 4 is “formal consultations with other member states”. Poland wants to ask the other member states what to do about their violent crackhead neighbor.

    Article 5 is the “Shit’s Getting Real^(TM) ” one.

  22. Poland is the last standing warden of the west. So much respect for Poland.

  23. Nato will do nothing, again, and then Russia will do something, again

  24. Anyone out here that can explain why this is not article 5 worthy?

  25. Hate to be the “nothing ever happens” guy, but I can’t wait for NATO members to unequivocally condemn Russia’s provocative actions and then go back home, content with a job well done

  26. Is it finally happening?

    The strongly worded meeting that is…

  27. Please please please, I know it’s a risk but we can’t keep sending strongly worded letters, we need to do more, even if it leads to escalation, I hope something comes of this and honestly I trust that there’s some humanity left in all of us and even if we have a direct confrontation we won’t nuke each other to shit but maybe I’m naive

  28. NATO members will find a way to brush this aside. No one wants a conflict now, considering the uncertainty with unpredictable Sam and his policies.

  30. no, you should be in trend. first exclude Poland from NATO. Then there is no basis for art.4 and 5. You don’t want to escalate, do you? Then generally find Poland guilty, because it provoked with its existence. Pay compensation for the downed shaheds.

  31. Interesting how this has happened right after trump announced he will cut defense spending for the baltics and right before their joint military exercises with belarus

  33. Seeing as the travel route for the drones was from Belarus –> Poland, and not Russia –> Ukraine –> Polan, ids say it makes sense.

  34. I assume the fear is that triggering article 5 will either reveal U.S. as an axis power, damage NATO beyond recovery, soft kick off WWIII…… Or all three.

    Russia wouldn’t be pushing its luck like this if it wasn’t ready to lay its cards on the table.

    The question right now is if avoiding a hard war by losing a soft power war is a sound strategy. 

  35. Should’ve sent farmers to block the drones on the border, smh

  36. Alright that is good. Hopefully it will also lead to some sort of response. Doing nothing is a clear sign of weakness

  37. My daily stupid theory is that Russia wants to escalate this to the point that NATO starts getting kind of involved so that Putin can make peace and blame it on NATO involvement and not because the Russian military has gotten wrecked by Ukraine. You cant show weakness as a dictator and it makes no sense for Russia to want an actual fight with Europe because we would fucking wreck Russia. All they have is nukes but so we do we and no one wins a nuclear exchange.

  39. Giving Button 4 a read and its reall just nothing and more OH WE BETTER SEND ANOTHER LETTER !

  40. Lenin once said, allegedly: “You probe with bayonets: if you find mush, you push. If you find steel, you withdraw.”

    Will Europe finally show some steel? Stay tuned.

  41. If they only shot down 4 out of 19, where did the rest go?

  43. Trump is to blame for this shit. The reason being is he has no balls to stand up to Putin. You can’t appease people like Putin. I guess history repeats when you don’t learn from it.

  44. I don’t know what game Russia is playing, but these are dangerous waters they are testing.

  45. Jesus, what a bunch of hungry couch pirates just aching for an all out war. Haven’t there been enough of those? Poland didn’t just take this, they shot the drones down. No wonder politicians are so easily able to manipulate the masses into fighting conflicts while they sit on their asses and count their gold.

    Millions upon millions dying for 19 drones is not worth it what so ever, Russia is a pest, but starting world war three with them over 19 drones that did not attack would be disastrous and downright foolish. NATO is playing their cards right with this one.
