OR Russia It tests the strengths and tolerances of the alliance. But it is not just there. NATO is not the only “goal”. In the background … there is Donald Trump. When asked by reporters on Thursday about the invasion of a Russian drone in Polish airspace, Donald Trump appeared … indifferent. “It might have been wrong,” he said and raised his shoulders. “But regardless of that, I’m not happy with anything that has to do with all this situation,” he added.

There is nothing that the US president could enjoy. Whether the Trump or not, he plays with fire. Poland is a NATO ally and therefore enjoys guarantees based on conditions signed. One could say that guarantees are nothing but … ink on paper, until they are tested. However, and regardless of whether the unmanned aircraft were deliberately sent to Polish airspace, the latest events have evolved into a trial of alliance determination. And Trump’s rhetorical tactic is in danger of failing, because the data can now change.

When Fox News asked on Friday morning about the incident, Trump questioned it again. “The issue of Poland … I am not going to defend anyone. But in Polandin fact it was rejected and fell into the Polish airspace, “the US president said. “But it shouldn’t be close to Poland anyway,” Trump added.

However, the Trump government did not completely fail in this test. The US Ambassador to NATO quickly reacted to the news on X, writing: “We stand by our allies in the NATO Against these violations of airspace and we will defend every centimeter of NATO’s soil. “

Polish President Carol Navrotsky spoke with Trump by phone and later described the debate as “a confirmation of the alliance unity”. And Polish Defense Minister Vladislav Kosiniak-Kamis published in X that Defense Minister Pitt Hegshez assured him that “Poland can be based on friendship and full allied support of the United States”.

NATO itself has also upgraded its strengths. Secretary -General Mark Rutte has announced a business called Eastern Sentry, which will come into force immediately. Denmark, France, Britain and Germany have allocated fighter aircraft and other means for the safety of the entire east side of the Alliance, including Baltic countries. Rutte described the invasions as “reckless and unacceptable”, adding: “We cannot allow Russian unmanned aircraft to enter the Allied airspace.”

NATO and Trump seem to be facing serious dilemmas. Who will be honest? The story will show it …
