Is NATO Ready for Russia's Next Move?

from Silicon Curtain · host Jonathan Fink

Edition No247 | 23-09-2025 - The moment of truth has arrived for Europe. It’s no longer just about defending values, but about its sovereign airspace, its territory and its people. Russia is a danger to the free world. When the Skies Break: Poland, Estonia & Europe’s Air Defense Reckoning. When Russian drones penetrate Poland, Romania and Moldova. When MiG-31s cross into Estonian airspace. When alliances are tested not by war declarations but by quiet overflights, coded provocations, and ambiguous threats, then the resolve of European countries is also tested. And found wanting. Trump posted: “Here we go!” after Poland shot down Russian drones. What does that mean? It hints at a kind of expectation that something like this was in the offing. How did President Trump expect such a confrontation, yet European leaders have once more been caught on the hop, seemingly unprepared? Tonight: we map the incursion story from Poland to Estonia, the proposals to close the skies, and what Europe must do when its neighbors fly into its backyard, in a way that is calculated and aggressive.----------This is super important. There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.
