This piece from Danish public broadcaster DR is fairly enlightening: no coincidence the # Poland #drone attacks happened on the day of SOTEU Vestager suggests Putin is trying to use up our mental bandwidth. A common response will be most effective.

I'm pretty sceptical that the timing is intentional; this is an administration that thought invading Ukraine to change the president was a smart plan and organised like two unconvincing false flag operations as an excuse.

To me launching 19 drones that don't do anything in particular is more indicative of someone in Russia really screwing up: too many for a warning, too unaimed for an actual attack.

On our side there is a tremendous amount of people who will ascribe devious and subtle plans to any hard to understand act by the Russians, because apparently "stupid and careless" will not do as an explanation.

Think back to all those people who had ready explanations for why Russia blew up Nord stream, what are they saying now about how their theories held up?
