"The authors therefore see an urgent need for a special GNSS interference monitoring network along the Baltic Sea coast." The Poles want the EU to spend more on the MIC. That is not a surprise. All while Russia is unable to even take the whole of Donetsk and Zaphorizia. The "Russia is weak" and the "Russia will go to Portugal" narratives happily coexist in the European press.

> The "Russia is weak" and the "Russia will go to Portugal" narratives happily coexist in the European press. Weak now and weak forever are not the same thing. Arnold Schwarzenegger was once a baby, but it would be silly to conclude that means he can't lift 50 pounds today. Putin's current territorial ambitions in Ukraine can be traced back to the West's almost complete inaction when he invaded Georgia, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea. A victory in Ukraine would be likely to reinforce the approach as a functional one.

  There is a third narrative: "The sanctions will prevent Russia from getting strong." All narratives can be used when appropriate, by the same media outlet and sometimes by the same journalist. (The issue with Georgia and Ukraine was primarily NATO membership, which does not apply to Poland or the Baltic states.)

    All of these narratives are logically consistent. "Russia is currently weakened by their war of attrition in Ukraine. Allowing them to win in Ukraine will embolden their territorial ambitions and permit them to rearm. As such, sanctions and aid to Ukraine must continue, to ensure they receive a solid lesson that will prevent them from future ambitions on EU territory."

Painting things as "narratives" omits the fact that there are, well, some facts underneath the "narratives". Either someone jams GPS signal or they don't. The researches have some evidence that the former is true, so we need to gather more data (or decide that GPS jamming is not a problem - the less likely option).
