»Russland ist ein Imperium und genauso denkt und verhält es sich auch.«

Die Neue Welt, in der wir leben, lasse ich mir gern von Marcus Keupp erklären. Schon die historischen Richtigstellungen hierzulande gern gepflegter Mythen über "Russland" sind lohnenswert.

9/ so, being ready in the mind is not enough. maybe #putin has gone a bridge too far this time and finally incited #trump and #poland to align their strategic interests. i am really waiting for the moment where trump understands what game putin plays and hits back.

8/ also, the incursion into polish airsprace uncovers vital blind spots in #poland: why didn't their air defense detect and destroy these drones? why did figher aircraft sortie - highly unusual to use f-16 and f-35 to shoot down drones. ukraine has #gepard - but poland?

7/ there is only way #russia can win this war: if it succeeds at invading the west from the inside, corrupting hearts and minds into an appeasement mindset. these drones are yet another step along the way.

6/ in this regard, consider what i wrote in my latest book #spurwechsel (in german):

5/ so the real question is not about poland or russia, but about #appeasement: after three years of war, is the collective west now ready to show some spine and react with courage? or will it cower once more?

Marcus M. Keupp @mmkeupp.bsky.social · 27d

4/ #poland was right to invoke article 4 of the NATO treaty: unless a clear signal of deterrence and decisiveness is given, russia may get the impression that such provocations or negligence - even in the unlikely case that attack was not intentional - will go unharmed.

Marcus M. Keupp @mmkeupp.bsky.social · 27d

3/ for #putin, this creates an opportunity: if these drones "err" or "sadly lose their way" and crash into poland, he can observe both polish air defense and #nato readiness for free: how serious are they?

2/ these drones may or may not have been part of a larger operation that targets western #ukraine. note that over the last months, #russia has extended its attacks even to the far west of ukraine.

hat #putin diese #gerbera - und andere #drohnen - absichtlich - oder zumindest billigend - nach #polen gesendet? darum geht es nicht, die kernfrage ist eine andere. 🧵
