Why Is US not Taking Action on Poland? - Silicon Curtain



Edition No246 | 14-09-2025 - When Russian drones violate Polish airspace and NATO in Europe scrambles, what does the American president post? If you read the headlines, you may get one version of reality – that decisive action is coming, it’s being planned, it’s almost here. If you peel away the normalization bias and sane washing, then it’s clear that nothing is happening, and nothing is likely to happen from US side that would deter Vladimir Putin. Trump will not defend you.

Trump’s response to the unprecedented attack on Poland, Europe and NATO, he immediately turned around and delivered an ultimatum not to Russia, but to NATO itself.

We’ll unpack why Donald Trump’s threats and conditions land on allies—not on Moscow—whenever Europe is tested, how the media “sane-washes” the noise into a tepid bath of normal, and why Europe must plan like the cavalry isn’t coming. Because it’s not. “The war in Ukraine would end if all NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia,” Trump posted—calling those purchases “shocking” and saying they “greatly weaken your negotiating position.” (Sky News, Sept. 13, 2025).

But sadly, imo, he doesn’t know or care about anything except his personal wealth and building a ballroom in our White House. As Commander in Chief, he’s AWOL..a felony level offense
