We'll split into separate threads if things heat up.
BREAKING:Poland has launched a special security operation along its border with Russia amid warnings of possible sabotage and incursions by armed groups. Polish Police Chief Marek Boroń confirmed that a special operations headquarters has been established to coordinate security measures across the Warmian-Masurian and Podlaskie regions.
The operation involves police, the military, the Border Guard, intelligence services and counterterrorism units, with reinforcements deployed from several regions.Authorities reportedly received warnings from Poland’s Military Intelligence Service and allied intelligence services about potential acts of sabotage near the border with Russia.
Diversive warning
Last week, authorities received a warning from the Military Intelligence Service, as well as allied services, that there may be diversionary actions on the border with Russia - including border violations by armed groups.
This morning’s cyberattack against supermarket fridges and freezers has now spread to Belgium, Sweden, Luxembourg and Estonia.The hackers increased the temperature up to 50C. Food worth millions of euros has been spoiled.Experts warn that such cyberattacks on supply chains and logistics can constitute a threat to national food security in many Western states.

NATO is holding one of its largest exercises near the Russian border ever this week with over 3000 troops and 1000 pieces of equipment near the Eastern border of Latvia, simulating a potential attack and improving troops inter-operability.
We might want to add the increased frequency of cyberattacks on food supplies? We don't know that this is related to Russia, necessarily, but it's probably a state actor.
I strongly suggest paying attention to the combination of:
Poland increasing security along its Russian border.
NATO expanding its operational readiness in Latvia.
Airspace incidents involving the Baltic region.
Continuing tensions between Russia and NATO.
The ongoing US-Iran confrontation and diplomatic negotiations.
Gonna guess this is in reference to something similar to what happened in Latvia.
What's concerning to me is that Poland has now confirmed a special security operation along its Russian border after receiving warnings from its own military intelligence and allied intelligence services about possible sabotage and armed incursions.
This isn't just social-media speculation. Poland's police chief has publicly confirmed the operation, and multiple security agencies are involved.
I don't think this means a Russian invasion of Poland is imminent, but it does show that European governments are taking the possibility of escalating Russian hybrid operations very seriously.
When you put this alongside the wider tensions involving Russia, Ukraine, NATO, Israel, Iran and the United States, I think it's worth paying close attention.
If I was Ukraine I wouldn't trust the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and China to negotiate anything. They didn't uphold the security assurances from last time.The United States will mediate working-level negotiations between Ukraine and Russia on November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi, advancing President Trump’s mission to end the war. Discussions will focus on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian efforts, and next steps toward peace.
All their last security assurance required them to do was bring up the invasion to the UN Security Council. The government of Ukraine recognized at the time the Budapest Memorandum was useless, but they needed aid a hell of a lot more than they needed the nukes they couldn’t afford to maintain at the time.If I was Ukraine I wouldn't trust the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and China to negotiate anything.

No—unless Congress can send more weapons to Ukraine; though I believe that, in this area, it is the president who decides.Do you think the shift in power in Washinton will make putin more aggressive?![]()
In terms of aggression:Do you think the shift in power in Washinton will make putin more aggressive?![]()
Congress can allocate funding in the federal budget to Ukraine, but the Pentagon would have to approve what is sent in terms of weapons and the president would have to approve it. If Hegseth is removed, seeming like a real possibility, then they just may do that depending on the replacement. Wouldn’t necessarily force Trump to do it, but would put him in a precarious position if he chose not to. Not that Trump is a stranger to precarious positions,No—unless Congress can send more weapons to Ukraine; though I believe that, in this area, it is the president who decides.
