1/ Russia does not comply with international agreements, it places its own security interests and geopolitical sphere of influence above international law.
This is a structural approach rooted in traditional 19th-century power politics, in contrast to modern, sovereignty-based international order.

1/ Russia sends Drones to scare Europe, known as #ReflexiveControl
The wave of drone incursions into European airspace, attributed to Russia is widely seen as a form of hybrid warfare designed to instill fear, disrupt daily life, and undermine public confidence in European security institutions.

And he is right, it is rather unfair to Chamberlain, as he meant well. But good intentions did not prevent what came after it.
On the other hand, it's just a political cartoon, and the effects of what Trump is doing can be equally, or even more devastating

No, I am not a "fan" of Comey.
But I am even less of a fan of a government that abuses the legal system to settle personal feuds.
Fortunately, some institutions in the US still seem to be functioning properly, for now...

Dat is natuurlijk niet de bedoeling van de Russen, dat jij niet bang bent, maar vindt dat we meer moeten doen ;)
Je wordt overigens op je wenken bediend..

Ben ik met je eens, die vakantie is voor velen nog steeds belangrijker, maar misschien beseffen sommige mensen eindelijk eens dat vrede niet vanzelfsprekend is.
Maar we moeten ons ook niet bang laten maken, want dat is precies wat de Russen graag willen.
Keep calm and carry on..

9/ Resuming:
The reason the Russians are flying drones in all sorts of places and carrying out terrorist attacks on railways etc. is to scare and distract European countries.
But we are (be it slowly) learning and adapting, so manipulating gets more difficult for Russia.
Just be aware.

8/ In short, the realization is already underway:
Europe is recognizing that these attacks are part of a broader Russian campaign to weaken support for Ukraine, responses are being adapted accordingly
Though much work remains to build a sustainable, cost-effective defense and credible deterrent.

7/ and also accelerating defense cooperation with Ukraine
The broader understanding, that this is not just a drone problem but a challenge of deterrence, has begun to take hold, with calls for both defensive improvements and offensive capabilities to restore strategic balance.

6/ While these provocations test NATO’s unity and resolve, they also reveal a strategic Russian miscalculation, assuming the alliance is weak or indecisive..l
But so far, the response has actually been increased solidarity, countries sharing counter-drone technology, deploying air defense systems

5/ This approach mirrors tactics observed in Ukraine, where drones have accounted for 78% of military casualties in frontline zones, demonstrating their disproportionate cost-effectiveness.
With Russia reportedly aiming to produce 5 million drones annually, the scale of the threat is growing

4/ Russia’s strategy appears aimed at deterring further European military aid to Ukraine by raising the perceived costs of involvement, exploiting the asymmetry between inexpensive drones and costly defensive measures such as fighter jets and missiles.

3/ Analysts suggest the intent is not to gather intelligence but to send a political message:
Hy supporting Ukraine, European nations are becoming co-belligerents and exposing themselves to retaliation.
This is where Russia wants to control our mindset, and they have been quite successful.

2/ These actions, targeting airports, military bases, and critical infrastructure in countries like Poland, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, and Norway, have caused significant disruptions, including flight cancellations and airspace closures, despite many drones being unarmed.
