Test Trump!

The 19 Russian drones that invaded Poland represent a test of NATO's rapid reaction capabilities, but above all, they constitute a direct assessment of Trump's stance on the incident and America's firm stance on the North Atlantic Treaty. Interestingly, the American president's first reaction was a kind of riddle: "Here we go again!"

Who's going? What again? What response? Can Russian drones, under Iranian patent, continue to fall on NATO territory? It doesn't matter if it's Poland. "One for all," or vice versa, isn't just a clause from a last-century treaty: it obliges the 32 allied states to respond in the event of an invocation of Article 5. And we're already at the level of Article 4!

There's a still-unexplained curiosity: since Trump arrived at the White House and met with Putin in Alaska, there has clearly been an exponential increase in Russian attacks on Ukraine. Almost every night, they launch hundreds of drones and a few missiles, particularly against civilian targets.

It seems Putin is counting on American complacency. He is doubling down on efforts and attacks on all fronts and by all means, counting on Chinese, North Korean, and Iranian cover. If NATO fails to show unity and strength in this incident, Putin will corner the Alliance. This is a dangerous time, especially with Trump in the White House.
