US Warns Russia May Stage Attack on Poland to Test NATO’s Resolve
US officials warn that Russia could carry out a staged incursion into Poland to probe NATO’s reaction. Possible scenarios include missile or drone strikes on critical infrastructure or a so-called accidental border crossing by Russian or Belarusian troops. The goal would be to heighten tensions in Europe and pressure Western allies to suspend military aid to Ukraine. Moscow might claim GPS errors or a rescue mission to justify any breach and then negotiate a “withdrawal” as a perceived victory. Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump has framed NATO’s collective defence commitment as merely reciprocal, suggesting he may be setting the stage for a future US withdrawal from the alliance.
