Poland: '7 drones found in country's territory,' PM: 'Closest to conflict since World War II'​

Polish authorities have so far found seven drones and parts of one ballistic missile launched from Russia that penetrated the country's territory, according to Poland's Ministry of Interior. Since morning, several European countries have condemned the Russian attack aimed at Ukraine, part of which reached Poland. Earlier, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said his country is "the closest it has been to military conflict since World War II."

Poland intercepts Russian drones in unprecedented NATO test​

The incident came as faith in NATO unity continues to falter, with CNN pointing to President Donald Trump's stance urging Europeans to take the lead in defense strategy.

Ned Price, who served as a US State Department spokesperson, told CNN that Russia may have deliberately tested NATO response by sending drones. He warned that "their presence, if deliberate, could expose what Russia might see as 'weakness,'" while also acknowledging the possibility of accidental overflight.

Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois was more blunt, warning on X that "repeated violations of NATO airspace by Russian drones are fair warning that Vladimir Putin is testing our resolve to protect Poland and the Baltic nations," CNN said.

Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed that Poland is "in constant contact with NATO command." He said Territorial Defense Forces had been deployed to recover wreckage and called on civilians to stay calm and report findings.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told CNN that he had been briefed on the intrusions after leaving a dinner with President Trump on Tuesday evening.

Polish authorities earlier closed Warsaw International Airport, while both Polish and NATO fighter aircraft were scrambled in response to incoming drones.

Article 4 has been invoked. That is one step below the full on Article 5 of NATO and it means Tusk (Poland's leader) is calling the rest of NATO to talk seriously about what to do next.

Here is Reuters: What are NATO's defence obligations under Articles 4 and 5 of its treaty?

"Under Article 4, discussions at the North Atlantic Council - NATO’s principal political decision-making body - could potentially lead to some form of joint decision or action.

Since NATO’s creation in 1949, Article 4 has been invoked seven times, most recently in February 2022 when Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia sought consultations following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

NATO ambassadors in November 2022 held an emergency meeting after a missile strike killed two people in Poland and raised global alarm that the war could spill into neighboring countries"

Poland is at its closest to open conflict since World War Two, PM says​

WARSAW, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Poland is the closest it has been to open conflict since World War Two, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Wednesday after the NATO member state shot down Russian drones over its territory.

He said Poland had asked NATO to open consultations under Article 4 of its treaty, which states that members of the Western military alliance will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territory, political independence or security of any of them is threatened.

Tusk told parliament there had been 19 intrusions into Polish airspace overnight. The incursions heightened tensions that were already simmering after previous incursions by drones.
"I have no reason to claim we're on the brink of war, but a line has been crossed, and it's incomparably more dangerous than before," he said.

"This situation brings us the closest we have been to open conflict since World War Two".
Tusk said the shooting down of three drones had been confirmed, and it was likely a fourth had been downed.

Poland got hit worst and first (unless we count the Czechoslovakian province of the Sudetenland) in WW2. Abandoned by her allies Britain and France - who declared war on Germany finally.

But true to form, Chamberlain was the Prime Minister of Britain at the time, a great fan of compromise and letting Hitler do anything as long as he could claim "peace in our time". Chamberlain let Hitler have the Sudetenland, but finally hit even his limit when Hitler invaded their ally Poland.

France fell next.

Only Britain remained, and plenty of Polish fighters came to fight WW2 alongside their allies.

But Poland paid a heavy heavy price.

She got sold out again at the end of WW2 when Yalta (Britain, USA & Russia) carved up Europe and it was decided to let Russia have Eastern Europe (AND POLAND)

France was infuriated at being left out of Yalta, and they never have forgiven Britain for that slight. However the real power had already shifted from Britain (even under Churchill it was almost bankrupt) to the newly emerged world power of the United States.

And Roosevelt was President. He was really ill at that conference, and Russia under Stalin took full advantage.

General Patton wanted to keep going and push Russia back from Europe but Roosevelt was done fighting.

And POLAND PAID THE PRICE.

Poland is seeing the beginnings of something that might explode into war soon.

Moldova, Poland, Finland, Lithuania and Latvia are all seeing more of a threat from Russia to their borders or their sovereignty.

The military "exercise" called Zapad 2025 is a mirror of Zapad 2021 that they did just before the Ukraine was invaded!
