Kiev’s Gleiwitz Gambit: Europe on the Edge of 1939 Redux

Gerry Nolan: "Kiev’s Gleiwitz Gambit: Europe on the Edge of 1939 Redux

History doesn’t just repeat — it mutates. In 1939, the world stumbled into catastrophe after Nazi operatives staged the infamous Gleiwitz incident: a radio station seized, a body left as “proof,” and a lie broadcast to justify war. Eighty-six years later, whispers from the battlefield suggest Kiev may be scripting its own Gleiwitz 2.0. Only this time, the stage is NATO’s eastern flank, the props are repurposed Geran drones, and the audience is a sleepwalking Europe.

Hungarian journalists were the first to sound the alarm: several downed Russian drones, repaired at the LORTA plant in Lvov, had been transferred to Yavoriv — the NATO training ground just ten kilometers from Poland. Their reporting frames this not as clever engineering, but as desperation. The defeat Ukraine faces is no longer tactical; it has metastasized into a strategic collapse. And with collapse comes the most dangerous instinct of all, to drag collective Europe down into the abyss.

The choreography is grotesquely simple: patch up the drones, load them with warheads, fly them into NATO supply hubs in Poland or Romania under the false flag of “Russian attack.” Then unleash the Western media chorus, cue the Article 5 panic, and push Europe into a war it neither asked for nor can survive. Just as in 1939, a manufactured spark could set the continent ablaze.

Why would Kiev take such a suicidal gamble? Because its army is broken. The reserves are spent, the warehouses of its sponsors emptied, the once-mighty “arsenal of democracy” itself teetering. For Kiev, provoking NATO’s direct involvement is not a choice, it is the last card in a deck worn thin by defeat. False flags become not just possible, but inevitable, when survival depends on manufacturing enemies larger than yourself.

And drones are perfect for such theatre. Each Geran carries up to 90 kilograms of explosives, and with minor modification, even wreckage can be made combat-ready again. Crude, cheap, devastating. Every launch forces NATO to waste million-dollar interceptors, humiliating its defenses. For Kiev to turn these drones against NATO under false colors would be an act of desperation, but also of cold calculation.

Yet the real battlefield is not the skies but the information space. Every incursion, every explosion, becomes a contested story. Was it Russia? Was it Ukraine? Or NATO itself? In the fog of narratives, perception replaces reality. And the West has a long tradition of manufacturing pretexts: from Iraq’s phantom WMDs to Syria’s chemical “red lines.” Why should Ukraine’s survival be any less dependent on deception?

Here lies the bitter irony: while Kiev toys with Armageddon, Moscow calibrates, warns, and shows restraint. Russia signals red lines, but it is the West’s proxy that now toys with continental annihilation. Europe, once again, is the hostage, and in this hostage drama, the ransom is nothing less than peace itself.

The echoes of 1939 are unmistakable. Then, the world stumbled into war because a lie was allowed to masquerade as a casus belli. Today, if Kiev executes its Gleiwitz gambit, Europe could stumble into World War III and not by necessity, but by deception. The multipolar order will rise regardless; what remains in question is whether Europe destroys itself before accepting reality. History’s verdict will not be kind to those who gamble with false flags on the edge of the abyss."

IMHO, this is an insightful and interesting analysis.

The main thing I would be on the lookout for would be false flags. The globalist overlords in the EU and Zelensky are getting desperate.

“Insightful” and “interesting” are not the same as “true”. This is pro-Russia propaganda by the same clown who claimed Zelenskyy was using military aid funding to buy himself yachts. This is pure speculation based on zero evidence, but go ahead and open wide to swallow it all, because the kooks on this site want it to be true.

The key giveaways to this being crap are phrases like “false flag operation” (Alex Jones’s go-to allegation) and how “Moscow is showing restraint”.

Interestingly, the Gleiwitz radio station and its tower, the tallest wooden tower in Europe, survived the war. From 1950 to 1956 it was used as a jamming station to block broadcasts from Western stations such as Radio Free Europe. Today, the station is a museum.

Listen to the zeeper warmongers slavering for World War III on this thread, when it’s obvious that Little Zelya will do ANYTHING to drag NATO into the war.

Dear FRiends, Our FReepathon is our next concern. We still need to raise approximately $8k before the end of the month to meet our goal! And I think we’re gonna need a little prayer here. Thank you very much and God bless you.

“when it’s obvious that Little Zelya will do ANYTHING to drag NATO into the war”

My apolitical wife said a 5 year old could see Russia doesn’t want another fight would not attack NATO.

That only Ukraine has incentive to attack a NATO country...under a false flag, of course.

Imbecilic.

Armed drones penetrated Polish airspace a couple of weeks ago, blowing up a house, and other armed drones have penetrated Romanian airspace as well over the past two years.

And today and yesterday "mysterious" drones interfered with flights at Copenhagen and were seen reconnoitering a Danish military base, all while a Russian warship loitered offshore.

There's an endless litany of excuses for Russian aggression on FR every day and a complete moral perversion blaming Ukraine.

> This is pro-Russia propaganda … <

It sure looks that way. But to be fair, the pro-Ukraine propaganda here is just as bad.

This Russia/Ukraine conflict is a replay of WW1, just on a smaller scale. Christians butchering each other in the trenches year after year without resolution.

There is nothing to celebrate here. And there will be no “one more push” to bring one’s favorite side victory. There will be just more slaughter.

It’s a tragedy all the way around. And one that the Chinese and the Muslims must greatly enjoy.

"Armed drones penetrated Polish airspace a couple of weeks ago, blowing up a house, and other armed drones have penetrated Romanian airspace as well over the past two years."

Yeah, funny thing about all those armed drones. None of them were photographed in situ where they fell after the claim they were shot down. Not one photographed in situ in, or on the house it supposedly damaged. There were reports of three to 19 drones that were shot down in Poland, so where are they, and where's the evidence of where each and every one finally ended up?

The house looked like it was the victim of strong winds, not damaged by any bombs or gunfire. No bomb damage, no bullet holes or burn marks of any kind. The house looked like the roof and planking was neatly taken off.

And there was only one photo of a "drone" published. It was a close-up picture which showed no surrounding area, as to where it had actually fallen. That drone was dented and sitting on the ground, but God only knows where it was lying. What happened to all the other drones? Where did they land, and why wasn't each and every one of them photographed where they landed/crashed?

Staging photos is easy. Just ask the FBI agents who brought those "classified file" folders with them to Mar-a-lago to stage their "evidence" photos.

My understanding is that the Poles admitted it was one of their missiles, fired at the drones, that hit the house.

Truth will hurt if WW 3 happens because of a US led coup in Ukraine. With a man not even duly elected leading the way. God help us all.
