That’s some far fetched piece (based on what is above the paywall).
For jets argument you must first understand where Kaliningrad is: something akin to Alaska for US — open the map to see
what European countries are invariably in between.
Even if they crossed momentarily the air border (though there was no objective visual proof from either side, which is why the story died), supersonic jet is not like crusing at 20 mph: if you sway for several seconds you can easily graze some border. It is unprofessional but not impossible.
As for a few drones: the key word is undentified.
Yet the piece is titled: Europe is under Russian Attack. Meh
- scotty79 1y agoDon't you believe those were russian drones intentionally sent?
- piskov 1y agoIt’s in the realm of probability but very thin for me. As always: the means, the benefits. How would Russia benefit? > EU leaders meeting in Copenhagen backed plans to strengthen European defenses, including a proposed "drone wall," after recent drone incursions over Denmark raised fears of Russian hybrid attacks. Officials said the initiative would focus on eastern airspace protection and sit alongside projects for eastern flank security, missile defense, and a space-based shield . Leaders also began a first formal debate on using frozen Russian assets in Europe to fund aid for Ukraine. Ah, those sweet-sweet frozen assets. Also see how this piece implies Russian without any proof. Also the more you fear monger the EU population, the more you can continue the war: which is money for some elites; redeemeer of economic recession for others, etc.: war is universal resetter for social/economic issues.
- scotty79 1y ago> As always: the means, the benefits. How would Russia benefit? Ah, they can't be behind it because they never, ever make mistakes and everything they ever do serves them somehow. In the meantime, in real world russia hasn't made a single good decision in almost 4 years. > Ah, those sweet-sweet frozen assets. Also see how this piece implies Russian without any proof. When you talk about mountain climbing you also silently imply that gravity exists. What's the alternative? > Also the more you fear monger the EU population, the more you can continue the war: It's not exactly fear mongering. Europe is gearing for war and I don't think even immediate russian surrender could stop it at this point. Europe will steamroll russia in the following decade or two. There are no decisions to be made anymore. Now the stage is fully set and history just plays out. The idea you can lay down arms up to the last moment before conflict is a pipe dream. It pretty much never happens.
- piskov 1y agoBefore you told me that drones were sent intentionally. Now you recede to “mistake” and “not a single good decision”. If you imply some country is stupid and every thing they do is a mistake, that — at very least — is grave mistake for any war.
- scotty79 1y agoIs in your mind "intentional" and "mistake" contradictory? Haven't you ever done anything intentionally that turned out to be a mistake? It's pretty plain to see that everything russia did in recent years harmed it and strengthened its enemies. That's a mistake in my book unless your goal is a suicide.
- piskov 1y agoYou do see how the same story looks with shift by one operation? Enemies getting stronger, russia growing weaker, and finally, trying to do something about it. It’s like chicken and the egg situation. The only dumb thing to do is escalate this even further. One should never “corner” the nuclear power, this is madness.
- scotty79 1y agorussia is not a nuclear power or any kind of power the fact that in 3 years of sabre rattling they didn't perform a single nuclear test, just for show, proves that conclusively russia myth is pure PR made in USA
