All media for foreign consumption has an axe to grind but I still trust Wion over every source in the USA that gets posted to HN that is inline with a narrative. The narrative to invoke Article 5 would have become the death of hundreds of millions of people. If it weren't for a Polish farmer's photograph we'd be dead.

Luckily the media isn’t in charge of invoking Article 5. Taken as a whole, the response from NATO was pretty measured. There’s no reason to believe that absent a Polish farmers photograph that NATO was about to assume the worst and throw down.

It was going to be balls to the wall until that PHOTO. There was a plan and it failed! Look how many people were saying this is it, thats all we need. Where are those stories? Right next to the ones saying SBF is a great man!

This is going to happen again and next time we might not be lucky enough to know the truth before death rains down on us.
