Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Reuters: Poland downs Russian drones, first time NATO member has fired in Ukraine war (www.reuters.com)

Key points:

Russia denies that the drones were its own, and says it has no intentions of stoking a war with NATO. Contrarily, Russia says it is Western Europe worsening relations by suggesting Russia is a threat.
According to Poland, this is the first time Russian missiles or drones have been shot down in Polish airspace, and this is also the greatest number of Russian missiles or drones to enter Polish airspace.
Poland's prime minister Donald Tusk has invoked article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty, but not article 5. NATO does not view the Russian drones as an attack, but an "intentional incursion". So this isn't WW3, yet.
EU diplomat Kaja Kallas has called on Europeans to "invest in Europe's defence" in response to how "Russia's war is escalating, not ending".
Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky called the drones "an extremely dangerous precedent for Europe" and has called for a "joint response by [...] Ukraine, Poland, all Europeans, [and] the United States."

Also just my opinion but i think this is Russia forcing the entire western coalition to show their true colors. Ukraine responds to this by being like "Ok so everyones gonna start WW3 for us now right?" which im sure annoys the other western leaders a bit. And of course the rest of NATO basically says "No lol." and the desperate Ukrainians get reminded nobody is coming to save them.

I feel like this is trolling towards the schrödingers russia which is both sure to take over the entire EU and also a failed state that will falter within days
