Drones over Poland

Wake up, Donald Trump! Your buddy in the Kremlin sent 19 drones over Poland, a NATO ally with 10,000 American troops stationed on its soil. Poland and other NATO countries had to deploy anti-aircraft missiles and jet fighters to knock them down. All this in the course of another massive attack on Ukraine that killed 29 people and wounded 34.

The Polish incursion wasn't an accident, though Putin of course will claim it was. None, apparently, carried explosives. Unarmed decoy drones are a regular part of Russia's bombardment of Ukrainian cities, but it defies logic to think that in this case all the drones just happened to be decoys.

What comes next, drones over Finland? Drones over the White House? We have a treaty obligation to Poland, not to mention a moral obligation to Ukraine. Get off your ass, Mr President! You're dealing with the Adolf Hitler of the 21st century. Even Neville Chamberlain, scorned as the appeaser who let Hitler swallow Czchoslovakia in 1938, did finally go to war and bring Churchill into his cabinet, though Winston (how conveniently we edit our memories!) didn't become prime minister until well into 1940.

And even Joe Biden sent military aid to Ukraine, though never enough, and always too slowly.
