The Spin

Anti-Russia narrative

This warning is prudent given escalating tensions. Recent drone incursions in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, coupled with Belarus-Russia military drills, signal heightened aggression from Moscow and Minsk. Poles in Russian-allied states like Belarus risk being caught in potential hybrid attacks or reprisals. Fleeing now ensures safety amid growing regional instability.

Pro-Russia narrative

This is fearmongering, echoing Western Europe's warmongering against Russia and Belarus. Drone incidents and airspace violations are overblown by EU elites desperate to justify their relevance as U.S. aid wanes. Russo-Belarusian exercises, like Oreshnik missile deployments, are defensive responses to NATO's provocations, not aggression. The only threat Poles face is that of a war started by NATO.
