Poland's Landmine Border: A New Iron Curtain?

Poland's Eastern Shield: A New Iron Curtain? Poland's plan to deploy nearly a million landmines along its border with Belarus and Russia is raising international concern. The initiative, dubbed the "Eastern Shield," aims to strengthen defenses against potential threats. However, critics worry that this move could escalate tensions and create a new de facto border resembling the Cold War's Iron Curtain. Oleg Kuchalski, a Belarusian expert, expressed concern about the implications for Belarus. "This is not just about landmines; it's about a broader strategic shift," Kuchalski stated. The video also mentions the possibility of a visit by former US President Donald Trump to Warsaw, adding another layer of geopolitical complexity. While the Polish government maintains that the landmines are a necessary defensive measure, the move has sparked debates about its potential impact on regional stability and international relations.
