Russia is planning an armed “provocation” on Polish soil to test Nato’s resolve, the United States has warned.

Polish critical infrastructure could be targeted by missiles and drones or Russian soldiers could cross the border into Nato territory.

Washington has issued several warnings to Warsaw about the plot, sources close to Karol Nawrocki, the Polish president, told Onet, the Polish news outlet, which, along with The Telegraph, is owned by Axel Springer and is part of its Global Reporters Network.


Additional context:

The United States has warned Poland that Russia may be considering an armed provocation on Polish territory in the coming months to test NATO’s resolve and pressure Western allies to scale back support for Ukraine

According to Ukrainska Pravda, citing The Telegraph, sources close to Polish President Karol Nawrocki said Washington had warned Warsaw that Russia was weighing scenarios that could include drone attacks on critical infrastructure, such as power plants, or a simulated large-scale air attack designed to force Poland to activate its air defenses.

A more radical scenario could involve a hybrid attack in Poland’s border region, potentially with the participation of Belarusian forces. Russia could attempt to explain away a border violation by claiming its troops had become lost because of GPS disruption or were carrying out a rescue mission after a helicopter emergency.

So... There's going to be a false flag in Poland by Ukraine or the US, like those cables that got cut by Ukraine?

Have false flag ops historically yielded net strategic payoffs for the U.S.?

(Not that sober analysis of history is something the regime is really showing any interest in whatsoever)

People still think ISIS are enemy combatants to the US, justifying our presence in Iraq and Syria (here's a reminder that US troops are still in Syria) in order to secure the oil wells US companies are profiting off of given they're basically producing free oil (since oil companies aren't paying for the military deployments, just the public).

People largely still think Israel is a victim and the US should protect Israel, giving the US a permanent base in one of the most valuable places on Earth.

People mostly saw through all the Iranian nonsense but some people still think Iran has ever attacked US ships or personnel so...

People still think the blockade on Cuba is justified.

Heck people still constantly fall for the common police tactic of creating false-flag violence 'against' police in order to justify declaring a gathering a violent riot allowing for live fire.

Rule 3 does not explicitly apply to comments and I don't care to source this9/11 precipitated one of the largest wealth transfers from the poor to the rich in world history, and was 100% a false flag attack. The pilots just happened to have been trained by former CIA operatives, the fact Israel explicitly knew the attacks were going to happen and sent people to the US to film the attacks, the fact that the owner of WTC took out terror insurance two weeks before and took his first day off in literally the entirety of his career the day of the attack, WTC 7 hosting pentagon audit files and magically being demolished despite no flaming debris ever being filmed falling on the building and explosions seen at the base of the building. Also WTC 7 was almost entirely evacuated that day before the attacks with the few staff in there suspiciously getting out with no injuries whatsoever. 9/11 also cemented the US' course into fascism and created a holy war between zionists and muslims that persists to this day and has been used to justify every single bomb dropped (which there have been more than the entirety of WWII) since, which has generated massive profit for the zionist capital class and has allowed the US to have essentially free reign to terrorize the entire planet.
