Fall is coming, but Europe is getting hotter. Putin, who basically humiliated Trump in the back-to-back summits in Alaska and China, seems to be pushing things as far as they will go.
Poland shot down a number of Russian drones that had violated its airspace during a mass assault on Ukraine which it deemed threatening. President Zelensky of Ukraine said that of the 415 drones aimed at Ukraine at least 8 went over the Polish border, although other sources counted 19 drones. He added that this proves that Western claims that Russia would not attack NATO are nonsense, and demanded a strong response.

There has been no official reply from Russia yet. However, NATO’s Secretary General released a statement condemning the incident as “absolutely reckless” but said it was not yet known if the incursion into NATO territory was deliberate. But in a late night post on his platform, President Trump commented, “Here we go.”

Fall is a traditional time for invasions in Europe — often to destroy or steal harvests. The steady, relentless build-up to war could go hot very quickly.
