Now it’s his turn to yank his leash.

6. Poland to close Belarus border due to Russia-led military exercises, PM says

WARSAW, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Poland is closing its border with Belarus on Thursday at midnight local time as a result of Russia-led military exercises taking place in Belarus, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday, amid escalating tensions between Minsk and Warsaw.

Russia and Belarus' large-scale military exercises, known as the "Zapad" drills, have raised security concerns in neighbouring NATO member states Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. "Zapad-2025" (West-2025) will be held in western Russia and Belarus.

"On Friday, Russian-Belarusian manoeuvres, very aggressive from a military doctrine perspective, begin in Belarus, very close to the Polish border," Tusk told a government meeting.
"Therefore, for national security reasons, we will close the border with Belarus, including railway crossings, in connection with the Zapad manoeuvres on Thursday at midnight."

7. I don't understand Putin's end game here

Is he really this desperate. He's poking the true bear. It's a war he cannot win. Is he looking for an excuse to launch nukes?

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. Probably an operational fuck-up, but the fact may be that Putin has committed an act of aggression on a NATO member.

This may be the end of the line for Putin's Russia.

[True Dough]

13. While I'm eager to see Putin "disappeared"

I can't help but wonder how much hostility ramps up between Russia and NATO before that happens, if it ever happens.

[OAITW r.2.0]

31. Hope we get good intel on why this happened.

But this administration will distort it to fit Trump's Putin Protection(r).

11. Putin must think we're too focused on the bombing Israel did in Qatar to notice this trick

[JoseBalow]

16. "focused"

[Maru Kitteh]

14. We had better hope this is Russian incompetence or even feigned

incompetence. Because if Putin has decided to attack Poland in bold daylight, outright . . . . .

[Big Blue Marble]

26. Not likely incompetence, not with this many drones.

This was a test to see what the US would do. And Trump, Vance, Pete, and Rubio
were publicly dining in a DC restaurant, interesting juxtaposition.

[ananda]

15. Well, Putin finally did something foolish enough to get NATO involved.

Wow

17. Statement from the Polish Armed Forces:

@sentdefender

Statement now from the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces confirming that Russian drones have crossed into Poland:

“Attention, during today's attack by the Russian Federation targeting objects located on Ukrainian territory, our airspace was repeatedly violated by drone-type objects.

An operation is underway aimed at identifying and neutralizing the objects. On the orders of the Operational Commander of the Polish Armed Forces, weaponry has been deployed, and services are actively working to locate the downed objects.

We emphasize that the military operation is ongoing, and we urge people to stay at home. The most affected areas are the Podlaskie, Mazowieckie, and Lubelskie voivodeships.

The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces is monitoring the current situation, and the forces and resources under its command remain fully prepared for immediate response.”

[Maru Kitteh]

18. wow.

[Donkees]

19. That's why F-35 flyovers are a part of White House ceremonies when a Polish President visits.

[progressoid]

21. Are we?

I wonder if Putin is just testing the waters. Maybe Putin knows that Trump Always Chickens Out. Plus, Trump has shown very little support for NATO.

[OAITW r.2.0]

32. NATO has had 3 years to prepare for a Putin end gambit.

This might be the trigger where we, NATO, goes all in against Putin. What will Trump do?

22. Live Reporting From the BBC:

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c2enwk1l9e1t

Polish armed forces say Russian objects have been 'downed', marking the first time the Nato country has directly engaged Russian assets in its airspace since the Ukraine war started in 2022
Polish and Nato aircraft were deployed, with authorities saying they began operations in Polish airspace early on Wednesday morning
The country's prime minister, Donald Tusk, is at the scene of the operations, defence officials say. Tusk previously tweeted that an operation "related to multiple violations of Polish airspace" was under way
Poland also shut down four airports as reports of the objects first emerged

[Mr.WeRP]

23. How fucked is it that US Media isn't covering this?

[sarisataka]

24. It's on ABC, CNN, NBC...

[Mr.WeRP]

29. I checked every single one on live and web last night

Only BBC was reporting it.

[sarisataka]

30. I had no trouble locating reports on multiple US sources

[Buddyzbuddy]

25. Let me see, today was a very bad Epstein news day for the Felon,

would it be out of the question the timing of the action was to help the Felon. Not the action itself, although it's not out of the realm of possibilities, but the timing of an inevitable action that was planned anyway?

We already know the "warriors" fired upon a Venezuelan boat with 11 on board that were guilty of what, we may never know.

27. There are varying reports on the number of Russian drones

that entered Poland -- between 10 and 22. President Donald Tusk says it was 19.

There are a few images emerging of damage from the drone attack. This damaged house is seen in multiple media reports:

28. Poland is seeking to invoke Article 4 under NATO

which is a consultation among members and could be a precursor to Article 5, whereby other NATO members are called upon to defend a member under attack.
