Putin Is Preparing to Test NATO

Putin is not talking like a man looking for peace. He is talking like a man building a case for escalation. After ordering more mass strikes on Ukraine, claiming victories Russia has not actually achieved, and accusing Europe of involvement in attacks on Russia, Putin appears to be preparing the narrative for something larger. Intelligence warnings about possible Russian provocations against Poland or the Baltic states make this especially dangerous. The question is no longer just what Russia will do next in Ukraine. The question is whether Putin thinks he can test NATO without triggering a full response. 0:00 Putin Signals the Next Phase 1:24 Threats Against Europe 2:42 Russia Tests NATO’s Threshold 3:33 Putin Mirrors His Own Crimes 4:18 The Kostiantynivka Lie 6:21 “Everything Is Going According to Plan” 8:46 Zelensky Trolls Putin 9:00 Mobilization or Bigger Escalation? 12:05 Ukraine’s Drone Defense Evolves 14:07 Europe Braces for Russian Provocation 17:33 Ukraine Sends Drones to America 18:00 America, Ukraine, and the Fight for Freedom 21:07 Viewer Comment and Question of the Day #Ukraine #Russia #Putin #NATO #Poland #Baltics #Zelensky #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar #ProfessorGerdes Facts over noise.
