Putin is a rich uncle. any russian who joins the 3 day special military ops he pays
40,000 euro signing bonus
2,000 euro a month
40,000 euro if dead
20,000 euro if wounded or disabled
That´s a lot of money considering Russia minimum wage is less than 200 euro per month.
for many russian families their dead sons are more worth than they are alive.
life is cheap.
the only way to stop Putin´s war is either bankrupt Russia, or kill off all zombies, or both. there is no other option.
 
Poland is pressuring NATO to activate Article 4 to respond to the Russian drone attack

Poland calls on NATO to take action after 19 Russian drones violated its airspace, prompting Prime Minister Donald Tusk to activate Article 4 of the treaty to begin formal consultations, in a political and security escalation.

- September 10, 2025:

Poland submitted a formal request for consultations under Article 4 of the NATO Treaty, after 19 Russian drones violated its airspace over the past night, Prime Minister Donald Tusk told lawmakers on Wednesday. The drones, part of a broader Russian strike campaign against Ukraine, entered Polish airspace from the east, with reports of many crossing directly from Belarus. According to Tusk, Polish aircraft and their allies shot down three or four drones. In a statement to the House of Representatives, Tusk said: "Consultations with allies have now turned into a formal request to activate Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty." Article 4 of the Treaty provides for consultations among NATO members when "the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the parties is exposed...

Tusk stressed that despite the tactical success in intercepting drones, the incident represents a political escalation. "This changes the political situation," he said. We will expect much greater support in defending Polish airspace." The incident came at a time when Russia launched a large-scale drone attack against Ukraine last night. Polish authorities reported that drones penetrated the airspace in several areas, including the provinces of Podlask, Mazovia, and Lobel. In one case, a drone struck a residential building in the village of Werki near Wodava, causing structural damage but no casualties. Local officials canceled classes and provided psychological support to residents. Colonel Eugene Miranda of the 25th Infantry Division said Polish aircraft and their allies were active throughout the night.

According to a tweet posted by the Polish Ministry of Defense on the X platform (formerly Twitter), he described the breach of airspace as "unprecedented" in scale and considered "a hostile act that posed a real threat to the security of our citizens." " Polish and allied aircraft concluded operations after 7 a.m., according to the Polish Operational Command, after launching defensive measures earlier in the night. Regarding the situation, President Karol Navroaki and Prime Minister Tusk issued a joint statement to emphasize unity. "We are determined to act as one fist," Tusk said, referring to the cross-party commitment to national defense.

Retired US General Ben Hodges, former commander of US forces in Europe, told Reuters that the event appeared to be a deliberate test of NATO's defenses. "The number of drones that crossed NATO airspace last night clearly shows that this is a thoughtful test of NATO and its air defence and early warning systems," he added He warned that NATO "must be prepared to respond effectively every time" and called on the alliance to do more. To date, NATO has not issued a public response, but the activation of Article 4 opens the door to the possibility of broader Allied participation. Although Article 4 does not automatically trigger a military response, it often precedes coordinated actions or deployments. Previous activations of Article 4 included consultations during the Syrian conflict and escalating tensions in the Baltic region.

The Polish government described the drone penetration as a "real threat" and affirmed its commitment to defending national sovereignty and fulfilling its obligations to NATO. According to Polish officials, lessons learned from the incident will be used to improve defense coordination and monitor the atmosphere along the alliance's eastern flank. In Warsaw, preparations for subsequent negotiations with NATO partners have already begun. "This is just the beginning," Tusk said, adding that the Article 4 request is the first step to ensuring Poland has better support against evolving threats.

Article 4 of the NATO Treaty Article 4 of the NATO Treaty is considered one of the important political tools that allows any member state of the alliance to request urgent consultations with other members when it feels that its security, territorial integrity, or political independence is threatened. Unlike Article 5, which stipulates the principle of collective defense and joint military response, Article 4 does not oblige the alliance to take direct military action, but it opens the door to a series of diplomatic, political and military measures that could include exchanging intelligence information, increasing defense coordination, and deploying additional air defense forces or systems near the borders of the threatened country. This substance has been used on more than one occasion, most notably by Turkey when it was exposed to threats from the Syrian war, as well as by the Baltic states and Poland as tensions with Russia escalated. Its activation is often as much a political message as it is a security measure, because it reflects unity of ranks within the alliance and shows a willingness to deal with any threat before it reaches a stage that requires the activation of Article 5.

These are all your fantasies and dreams. The option will be one that does not suit you at all. That is why you believe it is impossible.

A Russian sniper from the 5th Guards Brigade, 51st Guards Army of the Southern Military District, spoke about combating heavy drones of the Ukrainian army. The difficulty of this work and training is that shooting occurs at an upward angle. Accordingly, the angle of the bullet is completely different. Therefore, there are some nuances regarding the training of snipers to combat drones. Now the longest distance to defeat drones is 800 meters.

So what's the problem? Get on with it! Or are you too chicken?
Your childish reasoning is simply touching. And why didn't Hitler figure this out before? And why didn't the US figure this out before, fighting in Vietnam and Afghanistan?

Do Turks get a pass to not get involved at all, since we already have relations with Russia and therefore not a real ally of NATO? :confused:
 
Russian soldiers pass through a gas pipeline to the rear of the Ukrainian army in the Kupyansk area. Ukrainian media reported that the Russian army has once again used unusual tactics in the fighting in Ukraine. Russian units have carried out a new operation, "Pipe 3.0", soldiers used underground gas pipes to penetrate Kupyansk, Kharkiv region, where fierce fighting is currently underway. Thus, the soldiers reach Radkovka without serious losses, and then move south into the forest. After that, the soldiers disperse in Kupyansk, where they are already preparing a bridgehead, all this takes about 4 days. Ukrainian media report the possible loss of the city. The movement is carried out on special carts and electric scooters. Rest areas and food supplies have been made along the route. This is already the third operation of the Russian army. The first operation was in Avdiivka, the second in Sudzha.

Russia Versus Poland ?


There are training exercises going on at the moment - this is part of that.

Russia is stuck in a quagmire in Ukraine, it has no interest(or ability) to take on NATO, even the cut down Europe section of NATO.
