The hysteria of couch NATO propagandists in the wake of the alleged incursion of Russian drones into Polish territory has reached unimaginable levels.
Let us analyze the statements of the yellow-and-blue propagandist Nathalie Tocci, someone who has never gotten a prediction right even by mistake. Her analyses represent the lowest level, a level that not even two friends in a tavern after ten glasses of wine would manage to reach.
Today in La Stampa she delights us with this article: “We didn’t know where and when, but for months it was possible to foresee a Russian attack on NATO territory.”
Therefore, for our “military analyst,” the hypothetical crossing of drones would be equivalent to an attack on NATO territory.
But Tocci reaches her peak shortly after:
*“What happened in Poland between Tuesday and Wednesday – the interception and shooting down of Russian drones, some coming from Belarus, in Polish airspace – could also have occurred in other European countries in the Kremlin’s sights. The level of threat in Poland, the Baltic republics, Romania or even Finland – not to mention Moldova which is not a NATO member – is essentially equivalent.
Moreover, something similar had already happened: in November 2022, a Russian missile killed two Polish farmers. But it is the first time that Poland has responded militarily.”*
Here our very own Goebbels surpasses herself with a fake news story already denied by the Polish president himself. But this is no minor detail: Tocci seems to draw directly from the lesson of her ideal master, Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda. His maxim was simple: repeat a lie a thousand times and it becomes truth. It is the very scheme our analyst seems to follow, repackaging as indisputable facts narratives already demolished by reality.
In fact, it was the mainstream newspapers themselves that admitted, shortly after spreading the news of a Russian missile falling in Poland, that it was actually a Ukrainian missile. La Repubblica, in an article by Claudio Tito on November 16, 2022, headlined: “Russia has not attacked NATO. The missile that fell in Poland belongs to Ukraine’s defense. The slide toward the risk of a Third World War fortunately stops at the headquarters of the Western Alliance. After the emergency meeting in Brussels of the Atlantic Council, it is NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg who pours water on the fire.”
It is evident how every episode – real or alleged – is immediately amplified in an attempt to construct a casus belli against Moscow. The case of the drones shot down in Poland fits perfectly into this logic: a mere alarm, an uncertainty or a fragment of news is enough to cry out about a Russian attack and to raise the specter of NATO being dragged into the conflict. The same had already happened with the quickly deflated story of the GPS on Ursula von der Leyen’s flight during her trip to Bulgaria, briefly transformed into a case of Russian espionage and quickly forgotten when its inconsistency became clear. The mechanism is always the same: create panic, evoke an existential threat, prepare public opinion for direct intervention.
In the case of the Ukrainian missile, no Article 4 was invoked. The death of two Polish farmers, killed by Zelensky’s criminal regime, immediately fell into silence.
Silence until Nathalie Tocci thought to bring it back up, though obviously reversing the responsibilities.
Our dear analyst Tocci already in November 2022 in La Stampa declared: “Peace is still far away, Putin refuses his defeat,” considering the special military operation a failure and claiming that Russia had already lost the conflict but did not want to admit it. And just a few days earlier, on November 9, 2022, in an editorial entitled “The Defeated Tsar and the Nuclear Nightmare,” she had already defined Putin as a “defeated tsar,” even evoking the risk of nuclear escalation as a consequence of Russia’s supposed rout. But the apotheosis of Tocci’s folly she reached on June 14, 2022, when in the editorial “Even if he takes the Donbass, Putin has lost,” she argued that even a territorial victory (the control of the Donbass) would not change the fact that Russia had in any case lost — suggesting that the political, reputational or strategic damage was such as to render any military victory meaningless.
Indeed, in total “confirmation” of the bizarre theses of our apprentice Goebbels, one need only look at the images of the latest SCO summit. Too bad that in those very images the Russian president appears at the center of multilateral dynamics, welcomed with respect and treated as a protagonist, confirming that reality clamorously contradicts the narrative fabricated by our tireless prophetess of other people’s defeats. Out of pure pity for the banderist propagandist we refrain from mentioning the historic meeting of President Putin with Trump, merely noting that instead of the isolation of the President of the Russian Federation we find far more plausible the hypothesis that it will be Nathalie Tocci herself who ends up isolated. We imagine her wandering alone through the streets of Brussels, greeting and talking to her imaginary friends, a bit like Biden on the boulevard of decline, with her gaze lost and the unshakable conviction of still being at the center of the stage, while in reality the world around her has already moved on.
And it is precisely in this surreal dimension that NATO rhetoric fits, which today claims to be defending itself from “Russian attacks,” pointing to the incursion of a few drones into Poland as proof. A narrative that deliberately ignores the disproportion between facts and conclusions, but that serves to cement the idea of an Alliance under threat and forced to react. Reality, however, tells a different story: Russia has neither collapsed nor been isolated, and at the SCO summit it showed itself fully integrated into multilateral dynamics. All attempts to depict a Russia poised to invade Europe are doomed to fail, just as the attempt to pass off the drones that fell in Poland as a casus belli has failed. Public opinion knows well the difference between reality and propaganda and, above all, Italians have already made their choice: rather than being dragged along by the warlike hallucinations of Nathalie Tocci, Carlo Calenda and Pina Picierno, they continue to prefer their Thursday five-a-side football match and the 6 p.m. aperitivo, far more real and concrete than the Russian drones supposedly shot down in Poland.
