every inch of nato territory. but still timber was asked whether, whether he thought that nato's own air defense shield should be extended. some is some ways further into ukraine in order to make sure no missiles could get through it. and he said, that's not really something that's being considered at the moment. what he wants to focus on is getting more air defense capabilities to ukraine itself, so that they can block them before they get into into nato territory. i think that they'll be taking a good look at their, at their defensive plans today and making sure that there are not gaps that something like this could happen again. terry, she'll stand in brussels for us. thank you terry l u d w z m. phillip schultz explained how cute reacted. well, so far, no member of the ukrainian government has officially, except the preliminary results that were presented by poland and of a nato members. as you know, those results seem to indicate that it was an accident caused by ukrainian defense . one of the few statements

yes, nato's message. and this is a us commanded us dominated military alliance since its very foundation. nato's message is u. s. hedge moni us domination and they want to assert that again and again, even though the whole rest of the world, the global south refuses to go along with the sanctions and the threats on russia. so as the us find itself more isolated, they are trying to all the heavier old, a stronger present a more aggressive military threat. so it's a big danger. it's a, it's a danger even as there war in the ukraine is not going well. they are making other moves that could open new new wars and new changes. so yes, the to finish border with russia is more than 800 miles long. and as i say, it would turn the ball into totally a nato lake. so it's a big danger. and it's intended to be a threat to russia now. ringback turkey stand up to it. that would be important if they did. yeah, it'll certainly be interesting to see. and, you know, speaking of those new dangers that could arise if in one an

every inch of nato territory. of course, it has not gone in to ukraine and, and still will not do that. but if it is proven that russia did attack a nato member, that puts a lot more pressure on nato to, to stand up even more defenses, possibly even to retaliate in some way against russia. but we should also say that thousands more troops are on the borders of all of the countries that to share it, share a border with russia now. so nato has already done a lot to, to reinforce those borders. but again, if, if this is proven to be a purposeful attack on poland, i would expect that nato is called on to do even more. her schultz and brussels thanks so much time to take a look at some of the other stories making use around the world now. and protesters have classed with police during a student rally in the chile and capital santiago demonstrated through molotov cocktails and brought police and blocked traffic by barricading street. police used water cannon to disperse. the police in. bolivia also used t guest disperse

it would mean that an attack on one nato member is an attack on all nato. therefore, a proportionate response is necessary. that is partly why the west so far has been providing aid and weapons to ukraine but has not been sending troops on the ground so far. at that point, it could lead to a much bigger global conflict than what we're seeing so far. �* ., ~.,, ., so far. azadeh moshiri, great to net so far. azadeh moshiri, great to get you — so far. azadeh moshiri, great to get you on _ so far. azadeh moshiri, great to get you on the _ so far. azadeh moshiri, great| to get you on the programme. i'm sure we'll speak again. for now, let's leave azadeh moshiri with her further investigations in the newsroom. let's bring in the director of the us programme for the international crisis group, stephen pump up, a former council adviser who oversold un affairs in the white house during the 0bama administration. —— oversaw. 6reat administration. —— oversaw. great to get you on the programme, and still a lot we don't know at this stage. what don't know at

every inch of nato territory. of course, it has not gone in to ukraine and, and still will not do that. but if it is proven that russia did attack a nato member, that puts a lot more pressure on nato to, to stand up even more defenses, possibly even to retaliate in some way against russia. but we should also say that thousands more troops are on the borders of all of the countries that say, share share a border with russia now. so nato has already done a lot to, to reinforce those borders. but again, if, if this is proven to be a purposeful attack on poland, i would expect that nato is called on to do even more. ter schultz and brussels, thanks so much. now ukrainian president, hello, mr. lensky is also reacted to the blast. he is what he had to say. leap, did i get the firing missiles with me to toe tories, a russian attack on collective security? this is a very significant escalation. yeah, we must act. i want to say no to all old polish brothers and sisters. ukraine will always support you. free people will not

nato country. then what? so in terms of what happened, it could have been a cruise missile or to cruise missiles, just directly hitting bullish territory and killing to people. it could have been an interception which led to either one of those missiles or on intercepting missile, veering off course. it could have been stray antiaircraft fire. we don't yet know there are all sorts of open source intelligence experts collaborating online right now, trying to see what they can glean from the pictures of the mode so far. and of course, there will be official nato intelligence analysis going on of this as well, if it is deemed to be russian weaponry falling inside nato territory. then the question becomes, was it intentional? can we define this definitively as an attack on nato soil? and, but i think there are already some indications that there are some caution, obviously about that. could this have been a merit errant strike if a strike at all? and therefore, there are different gradations of respons

east and border to boost nato's our defense. because the incident yesterday ultimate clear that there is no real nato defense against miss either attacks or miss stray miss hides coming from the east. and nato might have to look into that. how to, to boost it's on its own, our defense. and there might be also discussion about a no fly zone. some ball dick member states always requesting a no fly zone over ukrainian. ukraine itself is asking for that. that would mean that native would protect actually ukrainian as space. and if then, a russian missile attack would happen, then nato would have to engage. also, directive is nato. that's by the native member. so 5 said, there's no way that we will guide a no fly zone in ukraine or something like that. so nato is, is trying to stay out of this, and this is also a goal by the german government, by the way. the germans has that said very clearly, there's no way that natal will be engaged in this war. there was, in fact, at the start of the war when russia 1st invaded, there was a lot o

very similar tactics being taken by nato. nato member is really urging caution. saying darren consultation. many of the european leaders, nato leaders, i should say, and bali. for the g20. >> former u.s. ambassador to nato joins me now from washington, d.c. thanks so much for joining me on al jazeera. >> my pleasure if you think thanks for having me. >> there is still a lot to be honest here when it comes to what happened in poland. is it at all clear to you what the timeline be made going forward with the response from nato? >> yes. the initial response is already what your correspondents are speaking about, to convince an emergency meeting for consultation under article 4. because of this threat that has appeared in poland. there needs to be a lot more information gathering. we need to know where these missiles came from, how they were fired, what the target was intended actually was. was it poland? was it something else? does russia acknowledge this? does russia admit that it was a mistake and promise not to do it again? there needs to be some kind of warning

there are also nato troops present in polo -- in poland. any confirmation of this event today could have major repercussions for nato as a whole. brent: what about the situation there the past nine months? how present has this potential risk been just in public among the polish people that this war could bleed over, spill over into poland? reporter: the war has been very present. polish people have been following the war very close, we've been supporting ukraine locally. polish people are aware of the fact that there is a jor conflict going on but at the same time they are keeping calm, and the polish people believe in the guarantees of nato and the defense pact, so i don' think many people fear russia despite the fact at this could've been a russian rocket. it would not come as a big surprise because few people have been thinkin that th could be a possibility. brent: it's still a fluid situation. thank you very much. we are trying to get reactions or comments coming from nato. we have heard from the united states, a pentagon spokesman sayi

now that presents the possibility, i think a distant possibility of declaring it a war on nato and nato's then at war with russia. i think we're a long way away from that. at this stage, nato. and the us only calling this an explosion. this stage, all of the statements were saying a saying they need more investigation, they want caution. i think if this was a mistake by russia than i think probably unlikely that will go anywhere near article 5. the only time article 5 has ever been invoked was after 911 in 2001. and even with that very clear cut attack on america, it took a month before they actually invoked article 5 article for which joan was speaking about earlier on is what the meeting is been called today on that article in brussels. and that's about consultation of the, the nato allies. and what to do if one of the, one of those allies feels that security is under threat already. we've got nato nations that are close to the board with russia have extra forces in them, extra allied forces that have been put there for some time. now initially after the, the annexation of crimea in pol

we are following the european convention on the departing deportations, and we will follow nato if nato de la develop some mechanisms against terrorism. these are the 2 actually obligations we have. we have followed them. so what do you think is the sticking point, or what is holding turkey back from ratifying you? i think that it is commonly known that turkey subpoena unsatisfied not only with what sweden or less finland is doing, but also with other countries said i, i think they want to raise the question now on discussion and on knowledge. so it's very difficult to make any estimation. so when, when they will proceed at area will react. but i'm confident and i'm not worried because 28 countries have now said that years, you're capable of joining nato and that we see that your birth, the of getting the article 5 coverage that 28 countries has already said it was due, the message to president early one, you know, the delay that a lot of critics and analysts have said that he might be delaying to play to a domestic audience a hit of the elections next year. do you think that's the case

i mean, even nato is recognizing that if russia prevails, this is effectively a loss of nato. and, you know, the american military leaders are saying the same thing that i mean to interrupt you, let me say, but they're the ones that are making that decision. there's like, if we don't, when we will see, that's very curious to me. okay. because nato could actually reinvent itself by saying we actually are a defensive military and we will not be able to go forward with these military adventures in outer area and stuff like that. maybe it's a self fulfilling prophecy this what they're saying about themselves. go ahead. oh no, i agree with that. i think that would be a healthy development for nato as well. if they went back to the way they were during the cold war, which was a status quo car, one which did not expand and one which did not to intervene or attack other countries. so the, sorry about that could be a positive development. but i'm by, but my point was that the nato has kind of put it in as political legitimacy and now are on the line. so can everyone has seemingly every

nato, just. to confirm what is being said, nato will hold an agency —— emergency meeting on wednesday, according to official sources being reported by reuters. that will give a chance of an a for people to assess more of the information. is it possible that this could be, if it is correct for russia to say it's not one of ours, are there situations where something could've been fired from the ukrainian side by mistake? 0r equipment failure? i ukrainian side by mistake? or equipment failure?— ukrainian side by mistake? or equipment failure? i think that's certainly a _ equipment failure? i think that's certainly a possibility. _ equipment failure? i think that's certainly a possibility. one - equipment failure? i think that's certainly a possibility. one of. equipment failure? i think that's| certainly a possibility. one of the things that ukrainians tried to do when they are under missile attack by russia is to shoot down those missiles. and they typically use surface to air missiles, anti—aircraft missiles to do that. in one of the possibilities here is that some of these defensi

the nato council has been breached by the polish ambassador and nato's military intelligence. services in an attempt to establish the facts. what happened actually yesterday nights in poland. and it seems to be clear that the rocket that exploded there was a russian made and presumably an as $300.00 rocket. it is not yet clear who fired this rocket was the russians or where the ukrainian defends units in an attempt to intercept a russian rocket the but there are many hints now from different sources that in fact the ukrainians fired dismissal. and the most outspoken was the belgian of defense minister levine did under who said, it seems to clear after preliminary investigations that the ukrainians are responsible for this incident. but it's not official yet, and we have to wait and see what nato secretary general for the tell us in a while. that's right now the and it is actually general. yes. starting that is about to break. i give a press conference. what do you expect him to say when he speaks to the media? that he was some of the meeting this morning. i'm not so sure that

we speak a lot about the nato alliance, but it's worth explaining what exactly nato is, what it means to be a member and what treaties bind them? that is right. we hear a lot of leaders meeting right now, leaders meeting right now, leaders from the 620, the eu but what makes nato particularly different is that this is a defensive military alliance. at the 67, for example it includes security considerations but military is different. the fact that poland has now been affected by the war binds many other nato members to its fate and means that certain articles in the nato treaty can potentially be triggered. nato itself was formed to defend certain nations from russian aggression in europe after world war ii and there is a real irony here because it has always been a major affront to president putin and he has considered nato and any potential expansion as a security threat to russia and it was waning in some ways, less than three years ago president macron said that nato was brain—dead. but by invading ukraine there has been a huge resurgence of nato because they realised that the th

five on the nato alliance. that is the collective defense treaty, where an attack on one member state is an attack on all member states. and president biden, they're, speaking after those crisis talks and being extremely cautious about his words as u.s. officials, as other u.s. officials kind of urgently try and figure out where this missile was fired from. what american officials at least say is that their intelligence is actually fairly good on this kind of thing. that the trajectory of this missile would be well-known to them. so, they do want to speak with each other, speak with the polls, speak with the ukrainians as well, and try and determine the next steps. but certainly, this event has now dominated the final days of the g20 summit. it occurred overnight here in bali. and the president's national security adviser, jake sullivan, got on the phone fairly quickly with his polish counterpart. that all led up to a phone call between president biden and the polish president. a photo of that phone call really

now nato members are meeting in brussels. busy at this hour presumably needs so we'll continue to do everything it can to avoid getting involved in this war. yes, that's. that's right. so we don't know if folks, poland with start negotiations regarding article for the nature contracts it could be. but this also does not mean that we have a few times before us because on the 24th of february, we also had these negotiations after article for nato. if you could just explain to our view is what article 4 is, what does that mean? yes, that's a, that's a big difference because if nato would see itself as detect as, as, as being in war situation, this would be article 5, but nobody talks about article 5. article 4 is just negotiations that one country feels insecure because of some measure, some of somebody else. we don't know yet if poland will start those negotiations with this article. but this does not mean that we are in a severe situation and supporting a country of nato. or having or something like that. okay, now, poland and

but is there a reason for nato today? i mean, originally when that union was formed, it was meant to disband, and yet we have seen that not only not happen, we have seen more and more funds be poured into it. with united states having the most china actually has continued to grow by not being involved in those types of partnerships. so who hasn't. right. and who has it wrong with the case responding to the ukraine there where we can be grateful that nato still exists or there's an organization with united states to participate in to respond to russian activities and ukraine. whether united states should be taking the lead in nato, whether it should be the frontline and resisting russian activities or whether to be friend, answer germany or great britain or other country. that is a bait that's in question the united states should the united states be focusing impact hillary in europe, the detriment of its presence in europe are attending. i'd say you to front once you're right. the chinese certainly are more restrained in

does nato get involved? does poland, which is no doubt now, coordinating very closely with its nato allies, probably most closely with the united states. just poland. call this some sort of an act of war. or do they all try to, might take a much more diplomatically cautious approach and, and choose not to escalate. i think this is a very sensitive, very careful situation. we are looking at now. and in a sense, as i say, all eyes now on poland. it is for poland to come out, i think and describe the next move. and those next move will be discussed. we've had to from the french president to the thing is expect discussion at the g 20 over these reports of a russian missiles hitting poland. and as you mentioned, a number of countries around the world have reacted to this. also, the latvian defense minister saying that nato could provide ad defenses to poland and part of the territory of ukraine, which is we were talking about earlier perhaps what something that ukraine would would be looking for was to get improv

well, as you said, 30 is a member of nato, and it's been a reliable member of nato with the 2nd biggest forces. and its armed forces has had enormous experience and all that. but it has also the polluted experience at particular within the data world and the western world. holiday for instance, propagandized thing you saw day demo nice was leaders and how they try to basically resort to propaganda on all matters these days. in particular, over the last few decades, they use propaganda as politic my size, you know, they just found it bothers the size in the formal propaganda across the world. but the good thing is we in turkey hardly believe in this sort of propaganda anymore, because it's been resort to so many times so frequently that it has lost much of its meaning. yet it is not convinced that it's not convincing at all. do you know, as you said, it's a member of nature of the same time. if you ask the public right from day on, on anything that involves the united states, the public would say, oh, it must be the united states basically that to do the wrong. and the public pose sugges

a nato response. not just because of that missile, but because of the extraordinary barrage that russia is laid into the two major cities of ukraine. and that seem to me that at least one part of that response needs to be an increase of american and nato missile defense equipment into ukraine so ukraine has a better opportunity to survive these barrages and bombardments that russia is now laying on the country. >> do you believe we've heard now from the ukrainian president zelenskyy. do you believe that the united states needs to continue to bolster nato allies near the border of ukraine? is that the right move? >> we have been doing that since the very early even before this war started. in fact, over the last seven years since russia invaded and took over crimea and eastern donbas region, the united states working with -- talking about billions of dollars of infrastructure that has gone into the eastern european countries so they can be prepared for anything russia might do. because it was in place,

was there any pressure from other countries to join nato, for you in sweden to join nato? because it might have, if you didn't, it might have seemed like you were, i just standing back standing aside and in a way, i guess, supporting or not condemning rusher and their invasion of ukraine. and 1st of all, we very well know knew it was said by many countries that you're welcome to need to . but no one really tried to push us because i think could people wanted to avoid shots and shot to be a b, m, at water. surely ukrainian situation showed that in shots casey, sir, natal doesn't cover. so that was hillary. i mean, it seems like the decision to join nato happened because of the war much quicker than it probably would have any other time. it's only a few months. so how has the public reacted to that? if you look, opinion polls from january, you see clear, arise, all day after day. so we ended up from 25 to 2, approximately 18. that was very natural actually. i guess opinion polls are one thing, but you know, going taking it to a referendum is another, was the reconsideration

nato and poland said the missile that killed two people was likely fired from ukrainian air defenses, but russia is ultimately to blame because it invaded ukraine. >> western countries and nato aligned countries in particular use the opportunity to call out russia and blame russia for specifically the death of the two people in poland. they said that regardless of who fired the missile, it would not have been fired of russia had not invaded ukraine in the first place. >> the military in democratic republic of congo continues to lose ground to the m-23 armed group. the fighters are widely understood to be back but rwanda, a charge that kigali denies -- widely understood to be backed by rwanda, a charge that kigali denies. gang warfare and political turmoil have fueled an exodus from haiti in recent months. at least five people have been killed in iran by an unknown gunman at a bizarre -- i -- at a bazaar. it comes amid ongoing and widespread protest in the curious then province. republicans have narrowly won a majority in the u.s. house of representatives. they have gained 218 seats ne

of course as you know well, when nato is attacked -- the fundamental basis of the nato charter is that when one nation in nato is attacked that the others will come to its aid in a military conflict. so the biggest question that is going to be tried to answer now is that question of intent. we do know of course that russia was intending to strike ukraine today in a very significant way. scores of missiles raining down all across ukraine from the eastern side of the country where of course so much of the fighting is happening all the way to lviv in the west, which has been relatively quiet. relatively i should say since the start of the conflict. there have been some attacks around lviv. there have been strikes on military installations. there have been strikes on civilian and energy infrastructure. but for the most part the western side of ukraine has been relatively spared in this conflict. so the question now, did russia go too far and did they make a mistake? did they overshoot what they intended to with those missiles landing in poland, or did they actually intend to strike poland?

that he wants nato to respond. and indeed that message picked up by his foreign minister to be true, co labour. who said that collective response to russians at russia's actions must be tough and principled. it must begin immediately with a full meeting of nato, including ukraine to discuss next steps. and specifically, he wants those next steps to include much greater weaponry for defense. they have, of course, received huge amounts of military equipment today, the ukranian since the beginning of this war. but the one thing they feel they could do with more of is their defense equipment. they've got very sophisticated surface to air missiles. they were very effective during the course of this afternoon, shooting down some 70 of the 90 or more rockets and missiles that were fired. but they'd love planes. they'd love planes to be the prosecutor, no fly zone here. he asked f fifteens and f sixteens, and that's the one thing nature has been most cautious about supplying, because logistically, and technologically, it r

it was a nato operation. it was an legal nato operation. they killed over 2000 innocent civilians and frankly, innocent soldiers who hadn't declared war any body. ah, it was also a vicarious war. it was intended to show russia the new russia that he couldn't go too far the so this case i was mean of what amiability artist, one i scenario niga, others, vienna you leave are standing up this year. we say no, i'm here in the grocery, visio. oh, a national, he was lewinski a scenario and that's not as bna with talk of the psychiatry or say the one. yeah. don't school go doors. yeah. you know what i mean was not he is actually to swear in the theater here. there's in coyer tropical. mm. hm, after the collapse of the walsall treaty organization, nato expanded east, despite having promised not to. but they did. nato said it's ours. we moved east international law exist as long as it serves american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist. so truthfully, there is no such thing as international law. since the soviet union is collapse, the usa has b

second is to have consultation with the nato. third is to ask russia if it was a russian missile and to ask for an explanation. hopefully they say was a mistake. if they intentionally targeted nato territory, which i doubt, that wou be a serious issue. >> let bs prime minister -- glatch vs prime minister has announced an emergency meeting tomorrow. the baltic states are worried. >> of course they are. they are right up against russia's border. they have very little capability themselves. they would be very worried if russia was deliberately targeting nato territo. that is why it is important to have a consultation and warned them that attacks on nato territory will be met with the response. >> what do you think is happening at nato right now in terms of trying to verify what has happened? >> i think you are seeing some countries saying we do not want to escalate, we do not want to turn this into our russia-nato conflict. other countries are saying if you do not respond your sending to to a green light. you are going to have to fi

surely, this does compel nato to act in some way? does compel nato to act in some wa ? , , , ., way? yes. i completely agree. i think the worst _ way? yes. i completely agree. i think the worst scenario - way? yes. i completely agree. i think the worst scenario would i think the worst scenario would be when nato does nothing at all. i like the response would be a disaster. but all that being said, i don't think russia is seeking a war with nato. i'm sure that nato is not seeking a war with russia. so we need to be careful that we don'tjust slide into a conflict inadvertently. the way that world war i was famously started, with all these arrangements that led to a war that nobody wanted. we have to make sure that that doesn't happen to us. at the same time, we have to make sure that russia knows that even an accidental strike on nato territory is something that nato will find unacceptable and will respond to. we have to first find out what happened, we have to ask russia for an explanation, we need to hear from them that it was a mistake, and we need to warn them that if

the nato member states. this has been talked about— member states. this has been talked about a _ member states. this has been talked about a lot _ member states. this has been talked about a lot over the last weeks and months. _ about a lot over the last weeks and months, but as we see today, not much _ months, but as we see today, not much has — months, but as we see today, not much has been done. now, the question— much has been done. now, the question remains are why these missile — question remains are why these missile brackets weren't shot down, why the _ missile brackets weren't shot down, why the air— missile brackets weren't shot down, why the air defences didn't work. either— why the air defences didn't work. either there's not enough of them or they are _ either there's not enough of them or they are not — either there's not enough of them or they are not working properly. so in any case _ they are not working properly. so in any case, until russia remains an aggressor, — any case

domingo first question, of course, we stand by nato and our nato allies and partners. we view nato asne of the most important transatlantic defensive alliances out there, but i am not going to ahead of hypotheticals as we continue to work through this process and determine appropriate next steps. in kyiv, while president zelenskyy spoke of the g20 about a just peace and for ending this war, what we saw was a russia unleashed a barrage of attacks that have killed civilians and destroyed critical infrastructures. it is no surprise tha after the ukrainian liberation of caps on -- kherson that they are attempting to plunge ukrainian disability and into darkness, but with the u.s. going to do is continue to stand by government and the people of ukraine and our commitment to our ukrainian partners is unwavering. >> i know we are not like to get ahead of us, saying that reports of russian muscles landing in poland are "a deliberate provocation aimed to escalate the situation." >> the united states is certainly not to escalate or incit te the imsituation at . we have seen the

he's been speaking here at nato headquarters after that nato ambassador's meeting kaitlan, saying there is no indication of any attack on the part of russia on nato territories and more than that, no indication that russia is planning any offensive activities against nato members. that's what we were waiting to hear from him because we knew that nato knew more about what had happened. there had been, we understand from nato officials, a nato aircraft above polish airspace when the missile had been shot. the secretary general also confirming this looks now as if it was a ukrainian anti-missile system that was used to try and counter, to deflect, a russian cruise missile, debris of each were found on polish territory, important fact there and important to understand what he went to do, which is try to explain the tone, saying increased vigilance is needed. >> no indication that it was a deliberate attack. it's incredibly important. mj lee, melissa bell, thank you both for the updates. >>> the battle for the future of the republican party and perhaps the white house becoming clearer this m

nato faces of colossal challenge. not just in the air on the ground to russia would call this escalation. nato prefers the word de, terence here, u. s. and romanian forces on exercise. recently. there were tests of aaron missile defenses, but ukraine is saying, such weaponry is desperately needed it side of the border and the supply line of weapons that are available. this to slow decisions on weapons. the season, on one hand, production line weapons in western countries have to be made faster. the quandary nato faces is the won't take a direct hand in the deployment of weaponry. and so it's down to individual states, but some only want to give non lethal support. ukrainians may well observe that if energy infrastructure is repaired, it won't last for long unless ukraine's air defenses aren't drastically improved sooner rather than later. and andrew simmons joins us live from bucharest now. so the focus of farming is on helping non nato members. a yes, very much so focusing on trying to reassure states to feel threate

but they did. nato said it's ours. we moved east international law exist as long as it serves american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist. so truthfully, there's no such thing as international law. since the soviet union is collapse, the u. s. a has been surrounding new russia with a belt of hostile nations. probably will swans and in order to come, knock the stop at come tub. gus as own home and then fall are not high on our price. this is you kind of in and took them in visual enough. oh, the color revolutions is a strategy to overthrow these regimes install puppets. and that are there. um, from that point forward are very susceptible to influence kurdistan, georgia and ukraine. these countries were targeted by the george h w bush, or george w bush, the senior vice president of ronald reagan and bribed with hundreds of millions of dollars. and these monies were given the countries in exchange for their acquiescence and their submission to american military and economic and political objectives. no ring of nato

any terry, what about at nato headquarters? i'm assuming the relief must have been tremendous there, that the alliance is not facing a war with russia today. certainly, that is not exactly how leaders express it, but it's obvious because as was mentioned earlier, not only would that signal a major shift in russia's plans for waiting as for on ukraine. but that would mean that the response that nato would have to come up with would be massively different than if this was simply an accident. and in fact, we know that poland was, was preparing to ask for what's called article for consultations. and that means bringing all the allies together in, in the case of a security or political threat to a country. and they decided at the last minute to call that often. so that was a sign of relief. and the other sign was that nato secretary general against oldenburg, went so far as to say, not only was this most likely, not an attack from russia, of course, pending final investigation. but we have no sign that russia is planning any offensi
