Stating "Here we go!" is a bit ominous, given it sounds - depending on the president's intent behind the words - a bit like George W. Bush's infamous "Let's Roll" related to Iraq.

Russia has rejected Polish and Ukrainian accusations that it sent a drone swarm to 'attack' Poland, a longtime NATO member. But likely the US will try to manufacture leverage over Moscow with this dangerous incident, where NATO planes were scrambled, civilian airports were closed, and ground air defenses put at the ready.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said his country would formally request the invocation of NATO's Article 4 after an overnight Russian aerial attack on Ukraine saw the alleged violation of Poland's airspace by multiple Russian drones. He called it an "act of aggression".

Tusk cited that 19 drones breached the country's airspace throughout the incident, resulting in some of them being shot down. NATO's Article 4 states: "The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened."

Article 4 consultations can lead to the alliance taking action if the consensus is reached. Notes from Poland says "It has previously been invoked seven times, including by Poland and seven other countries when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022."
