1. International Crisis and Foreign Policy

1.1. Russian Drone Incursion Into Poland Sparks Crisis, Fractures GOP Response

A significant international crisis is unfolding after a Russian drone entered the airspace of Poland, a NATO member. President Trump’s initial public reaction was a three-word statement: “Here we go!” [1]. This response was described by news outlets as ambiguous, as he did not immediately condemn the incursion [2]. The reaction has drawn sharp criticism, with one commentator calling it a “crazy thing to say about a potential third world war” [3]. The incident is creating a notable fracture within the Republican party. While the President’s response was muted, at least one GOP lawmaker has publicly labeled the Russian drone presence in Poland an “act of war,” and Republican senators are reportedly increasing pressure on President Trump to push for new sanctions on Russia [4, 5].
