Russia's Attack On Poland Did NOT Go As Planned

Paul J. Warburg 17 min

Russia's recent incursions into Poland and Romania were a failed strategy designed to provoke NATO into reducing support for Ukraine. European leaders have responded by investing in Ukrainian interceptor drones, actively hurting Russia's strategy instead of helping it.

    Russia's Bluff Called

    European leaders are ignoring Russian threats and instead investing money into Ukrainian interceptor drone capabilities.

Key points

  • 0:00

    Russia made a massive gamble hoping to create a strategic benefit for themselves, but instead that completely backfired.

  • 0:00

    Russia incursions were designed to provoke NATO countries into demanding less support for Ukraine due to fear of national security.

  • 0:00

    Russia previously built fake military bases on NATO borders to successfully remove equipment from the battlefield in Ukraine without having to destroy it.

  • 3:21

    The conversation about a no-fly zone shows that Europe is calling Putin's bluff and showing their reaction will not be what he wanted.

  • 3:21

    Many European countries now have new leaders who have made steps to help Ukraine that they were not making earlier on in the war.

  • 3:21

    European red lines have been crossed, including giving Ukraine permission to strike targets within Russia with long-range missiles.

  • 3:21

    Russia's drone incursions give NATO countries a legitimate reason to tell the public that the risks of a no-fly zone are actually worth it.

  • 7:04

    A partial no-fly zone would free up Ukrainian air defense systems to protect smaller towns where they currently lack protection.

  • 7:04

    Russia cannot respond to NATO defending Ukrainian airspace because it is impossible for Russia to argue that shooting down targets over Ukrainian airspace was an actual threat to Russia itself.

  • 11:48

    Russia currently has only about 7,000 troops in Belarus, which is not enough to actually attack a NATO country.

  • 12:43

    Russia is trying to guide the public consciousness towards fear by claiming they have 150,000 soldiers in Belarus when the facts on the ground do not match that fear.

Russia is pursuing an INSANE new plan…it involves Belarus

Paul J. Warburg

Russia is likely building infrastructure in Belarus as a feint to distract Ukraine and control narratives rather than planning an immediate invasion. Ukraine remains not out of the woods and needs sustained support through purchasing goods from Ukrainian businesses.

What Everyone Missed About Russia’s Attack on Poland

Paul J. Warburg

Russia sends small incursions to distract NATO resources from Ukraine by exploiting fear and fragmented thinking. NATO should ignore Russia's threats and send functional weapons to Ukraine immediately.

Ukraine is Planning Something MASSIVE

Paul J. Warburg

Ukraine is presenting Russia with a massive dilemma where responding creates gaps elsewhere, and not responding leaves critical assets exposed. The chaos itself may be the desired outcome for Ukraine to grind down Russia over time.

Is Russia Really Preparing to Attack NATO?

Paul J. Warburg

Russia is unlikely to attack NATO because doing so would open a massive new front while they are already failing in Ukraine. While we should prepare in case we're wrong, we should not fear a Russian attack because it's unlikely to happen.

The Ukraine War is About to Get MUCH Worse for Russia

Paul J. Warburg

The war is becoming more of a disaster for Russia every single day. There's a reason that President Zelensky, just a couple days before I recorded this video, sent a letter to Vladimir Putin taunting him, essentially saying exactly that, saying that Ukraine is ready for peace talks whenever Russia is.
