NATO’s Three-Pronged Response To The Latest Russian Scare Raises The Risk Of A Larger War<\/span><\/p>\n

This could be averted if Poland, which commands NATO\u2019s third-largest army and whose new president recently didn\u2019t rule out talking to Putin if his country\u2019s security depended on it, doesn\u2019t allow itself to be manipulated into partaking in any related provocations or backing up those responsible for them.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Early September\u2019s suspicious Russian drone incident over Poland, Estonia\u2019s subsequent claim that Russian jets\u00a0violated its maritime airspace<\/a>, and\u00a0Scandinavia\u2019s recent Russian drone scare<\/a>\u00a0are responsible for NATO considering a three-pronged response along its eastern flank<\/strong>\u00a0according to the Financial Times<\/a>. Their sources indicate that this could take the form of arming surveillance drones, streamlining the rules of engagement\u00a0for fighter pilots<\/a>, and holding NATO exercises right on the bloc\u2019s border with Russia.<\/p>\n

The first two carry self-evident escalation risks since trigger-happy operators or pilots could provoke a serious international security crisis if they shoot at (let alone down) Russian drones or jets. This is especially so if it occurs in international airspace or especially within Russia\u2019s own. As for the last one, Russia\u2019s threat assessment would spike during the duration of those drills since they could be a front for aggression, including hybrid aggression via drones and\/or mercenaries.<\/p>\n

NATO jamming could also lead to Russian drones veering across the border like this analysis\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0argues was probably responsible for the earlier-mentioned suspicious incident over Poland. In that scenario, NATO could have the pretext for a (possibly preplanned) escalation against Russia that could easily spiral out of control if cooler heads don\u2019t prevail. The Financial Times noted that \u201ca shift may not be publicly communicated\u201d so a crisis could break out with no advance warning if NATO makes one wrong move.<\/p>\n

Communication is key for preventing that, but Poland\u00a0rejected<\/a>\u00a0Russia\u2019s proposal to discuss September\u2019s suspicious drone incident <\/strong>and Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova\u00a0recently condemned<\/a>\u00a0it for annulling the visas of Russian experts ahead of an OSCE meeting in Warsaw. Poland aspires to revive its lost Great Power status, with September being historic in this respect as explained\u00a0here<\/a>, which would then revive its centuries-long rivalry with Russia at the possible expense of regional stability.<\/p>\n

There are three fronts where Poland could apply one, some, or all three parts of NATO\u2019s reported three-pronged response to the latest Russian scare<\/strong>: Kaliningrad, Belarus, and\/or Ukraine. It also commands\u00a0NATO\u2019s third-largest army<\/a>\u00a0and has no plans to slow down its unprecedented militarization so its political-military leadership might feel emboldened to one day test Russia\u2019s red lines. That could lead to a NATO-Russian war, however, if a Russian plane is shot down\u00a0according to the Russian Ambassador to France<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New Polish President Karol Nawrocki wisely decided not to risk that by declining to impose a no-fly zone over part of Ukraine after September\u2019s incident\u00a0despite pressure<\/a>\u00a0from his Foreign Minister. It later turned out that the government lied about Russian responsibility for the damage inflicted on a home after it was revealed that a NATO missile was to blame. They also\u00a0hid this fact from him<\/a>. Deep state forces, possibly soon\u00a0in collusion with Ukraine<\/a>, quite clearly want to spark another Polish-Russian War.<\/p>\n

Given that Nawrocki recently\u00a0didn\u2019t rule out<\/a>\u00a0talking to Putin if Poland\u2019s security depended on it, he might thus do so in a crisis instead of allowing himself to be misled by deep state forces, particularly the liberal-globalist ruling coalition and their military-intelligence allies who just tried to manipulate him into war. Without the direct involvement of NATO\u2019s third-largest army in any potentially forthcoming crisis, whether provoked by the Polish deep state or the Baltic States, a NATO-Russian war might be averted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
