Russia's Attack on Poland Completely Backfired - Paul Warburg
Russia's drone attacks on Poland and Romania completely backfired.
This wasn't a probe to see how NATO would react - Russia already knows how NATO will react. Instead, Russia had a darker plan at play here - a plan to help Russia do more damage to Ukraine at a lower cost to itself.
Unfortunately for Russia, this analysis reveals how rather than distracting air defense resources from Ukraine, they only managed to increase air defenses in a big way, with talks of a no-fly zone being reintroduced, and more.
