“What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones?” Trump said
President Donald Trump offered his first reaction to Russia’s drone incursion on Poland, which the country’s military and European leaders condemned as “unprecedented.”
“What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones? Here we go!” Trump wrote on his social media platform on Wednesday.
Trump is expected to speak with Polish President Karol Nawrocki on Wednesday, a White House official told ABC News. The official added that Trump and the White House are “tracking the reports out of Poland.”
Polish airspace was violated by at least 19 Russian drones overnight, the country’s prime minister said. The Russian action prompted NATO to scramble a response, as two Polish F-16s and two Dutch F-35s were deployed to shoot them down.
It marked the first time in the alliance’s history that fighters had engaged potential targets in allied airspace, according to Col. Martin L. O’Donnell, a spokesperson for Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe.
Last week, Trump pledged to help Poland protect itself during a bilateral meeting with President Nawrocki at the White House.
“We’re with Poland all the way,” Trump said at the time.
Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski had strong words for Trump during a news conference on Wednesday, telling reporters Russian President Vladimir Putin “laughs” at Trump’s peace efforts.
“Putin laughs at President Trump’s peace efforts,” Sikorski said. “Since Alaska, he has only intensified the war. I hope that [Trump] backs his words with action.”
In response to the overnight incursion, the U.S. Ambassador to NATO, Matthew Whitaker, posted a short message on X: “We stand by our NATO Allies in the face of these airspace violations and will defend every inch of NATO territory.”

ruSSia is testing the waters. They are testing for a possible attack on the Baltic States and Finland. Fuck the EU and RESPOND!!!
Vladolf is desperate to make it look like he is fighting NATO and the West instead of just Ukraine. He’s flailing and failing. In my opinion, the answer is to arm the shit out of Ukraine and remove all the restrictions. Enough with the political micromanagement. Look at what happened in Viet Nam, we don’t need that.

Is taco serious? He doesn’t know that gently stroking the vampire all the time will only encourage him to escalate? Why not, there is nothing to fear from the chicken in the White House, and Europe, like always, is just confused.
