We are so failing the test of the Russian Kaliber cruise missile hitting Poland.
There is no way this is a mistake. Kh-101 Kaliber cruise missiles use intertial guidance and camera based terrain mapping to fly their targets. This missile was programmed to hit a corn field deep in, and not kill anyone.
#Poland should be calling #Article5 right now, but they are afraid Trump will say: "you're on your own". This is exactly what Vladimir Putin wants. By not responding #NATO is weaker, every day.

#NATO Article 6 excludes #US Pacific territories, like Guam, Hawaii from its ambit. It also excludes all French and British possessions in South America, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, like French Guiana, Diego Garcia, New Caledonia and others. So if any of these territories were to be attacked, #Article5 of NATO cannot be invoked.
Ergo if US goes to war with #China NATO will not help.
If #Guam is obliterated then Article 5 cant be invoked
If #Hawaii is nuked............. -

This is stupid. The ONLY time Article 5 has been invoked was when the US WAS attacked on 9/11.

Russia, Poland, and NATO Article 5: What Is Actually Happening
By Cliff Potts, Chief Strategy Officer, Editor-in-Chief, WPS News
Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — July 6, 2026 — 1235 PHT
The Declaration
There is no confirmed public evidence that Russia has ordered or announced a full military attack on Poland. There is, however, credible reporting that Western, Polish, and Baltic officials are warning about possible Russian provocations against Poland or the Baltic states, including sabotage, drone or missile incidents, false-flag operations, or limited kinetic actions meant to test NATO’s response.
That distinction matters. The internet version — “Russia is about to invade Poland and start World War III” — is too sloppy. The serious version is bad enough without exaggeration.
Reuters reported that Poland is preparing for possible Russian sabotage operations aimed at worsening tensions between Poles and Ukrainians. Tomasz Siemoniak, Poland’s minister responsible for special services, warned that Russian information warfare has intensified and that Polish authorities are watching possible Russian-linked activity around military facilities, critical infrastructure, aid organizations, and sites connected to Polish-Ukrainian cooperation. Reuters also made the key point: Polish authorities were not saying a specific plot was imminent (Reuters, 2026a).
Provocation, Not Confirmed Invasion
The Guardian reported that Latvian intelligence and another NATO-member source had seen signs Russia may be preparing possible provocations against Poland or the Baltic states. The reported concern was not a full-scale invasion. It was the possibility of hybrid or limited military actions — drones, missiles, sabotage, or other pressure tactics — meant to test NATO unity and frighten countries supporting Ukraine (The Guardian, 2026).
That is the real danger. Not necessarily a tank column rolling toward Warsaw. More likely, if the warnings prove correct, would be a deniable operation: an “accident,” a drone incident, a missile incident, a sabotage action, a false flag, or a limited border stunt designed to create hesitation.
Russia has used ambiguity as a weapon before. The question is not whether Moscow is reckless. It is whether Moscow believes NATO can be divided by one carefully confusing incident.
Article 5 Is Serious, But Not Automatic War
Article 5 is why this matters. NATO’s collective defense principle says an armed attack against one member is considered an attack against all. However, NATO also explains that each ally responds with the action it deems necessary, which may or may not include armed force (NATO, 2025).
That does not make Article 5 weak. It makes it flexible. But flexibility is exactly what Russia may try to exploit. A clean, open Russian attack on Poland would almost certainly unite NATO. A muddy, deniable, half-step attack is the kind of thing designed to make governments argue before they act.
NATO appears to understand that risk. Reuters reported that leaders at the July 7–8, 2026 Ankara summit are expected to reaffirm an “ironclad commitment” to collective defense, with summit text stating that an attack on one ally is an attack on all (Reuters, 2026b).
The Bottom Line
This is a legitimate warning about a legitimate risk. It is not proof of an imminent Russian invasion of Poland.
The precise situation is this: Russia may be preparing or considering provocations near NATO’s eastern flank, including Poland or the Baltic states, while NATO and Poland are publicly reinforcing deterrence. The likely danger is not a declared conventional invasion. The likely danger is gray-zone stupidity — sabotage, drones, missiles, false flags, or limited kinetic action designed to test whether NATO blinks.
That would still be stupid. Unfortunately, authoritarian regimes sometimes try exactly that kind of stupid when they think confusion will protect them from consequences.

…Under #NATO’s collective #security guarantee – #Article5 of its founding treaty – the 32 #allies pledge that an attack on one of them will be considered an attack on all. It does not oblige them to provide #military support, although many likely would.
In essence, the United States is scaling back how it might help should an #ally trigger Article 5.

#Canada declared war against #Nazi #Germany almost 2 years before the #UnitedStates.
Canada stayed out of the #Vietnam quagmire completely, and welcomed #American #DraftDodgers that couldn’t afford to pay Doctors to lie, like #Trump did.
As a *trusted* #NATO member, Canada responded to invokation of #Article5 after #September11th and fought in #Afghanistan but passed on the #WarForOil in #Iraq.
#Canada outlawed *all* #gerrymandering.

The clown in charge kind of declares USA won’t honour NATO Article 5 for Europe any more.
Should be frontpage news, but nothing the clown does moves a needle anywhere anymore.
Funny how everything AGAIN benefits Russia, which seems currently eyeing at the Baltics next. A ”Narva People’s Republic” propaganda hybrid campaign has already started in the Russian-speaking region of Estonia.

Anus tangerinus clearly DID NOT read #Article1 of #NATO. He started the #USWARONIRAN... you cannot invoke #Article5 if you started the war!
Bullying allies into helping him when he is commander-in-chief of the greatest military in the world that won the war on Day One but now he needs allies to secure the Strait of Hormuz b/c he miscalculated?
That's not how NATO works.
NATO WILL NOT BE BULLIED BY #TRUMPISTAN.

9/11 was an attack on US soil, to be sure. Invoking #Article5 then made more sense...
The #USWARONIRAN is a war of anus tangerinus' making!
Anus tangerinus already claimed he won on the first day of his "excursion". This is up to anus tangerinus and "the greatest military in the world" to sort out, NOT #NATO.
