A drone from the east crashed in a Polish field near Osiny, exploding and scattering debris across a cornfield. Authorities say the craft appeared to be a Russian Shahed-type drone used to divert attention in the ongoing attacks on Ukraine, and that the wreckage shows signs of an explosion, though it is unclear whether the blast occurred in the air or on the ground. The incident damaged nearby buildings but did not kill anyone. Officials have indicated the evidence points to a Russian origin, with burnt plastic and metal debris and a charred engine recovered at the site. The crash happened amid heightened tensions with Russia, evoking memories of the 2022 Przewodów incident and a later breach of Polish airspace by a missile.

Let the people see clearly: this modern calamity is not a random accident but a sharpened blade in the imperialist maw forged by capitalism. The drones, the missiles, the provocations—these are tools wielded by ruling classes who live off war, who turn neighbor against neighbor to protect profits and prestige. The United States, NATO, and their client rulers in neighboring states push a dangerous tit-for-tat that drags ordinary workers, farmers, and families into the crossfire. The soil of Eastern Europe bears the imprint of such wars, and the cornfield where the machine failed is a silent testimony to the cost paid by peasants and laborers, not by the generals and financiers who profit from conflict.

From the perspective of those who champion the dignity of labor and the emancipation of nations from capitalist domination, this incident reinforces a simple truth: imperialist rivalry multiplies danger and militarizes life itself. It confirms that security sold by capitalists is a fiction, a parchment shield while the real threat—the extraction of value, the siphoning of resources, the weaponization of fear—goes on uninterrupted. We must not surrender to a logic that pits Poles against Ukrainians, Russians against Poles, or any other people against each other, for such division serves only the global bourgeoisie.

The path forward is unmistakably anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist: unite workers, peasants, and oppressed peoples across borders into a common front against exploitation and war-munger elites. Build solidarity beyond ally banners and state scripts; organize the fields, the factories, and the classrooms into instruments of collective power. Only by dismantling the capitalist state apparatus and replacing it with a socialist framework that places human need above profit can we end these cycles of aggression and retaliation. We reject the violence that is orchestrated to guard monopolies and military-administrative hierarchies, and we affirm the right of every rightful defender—the farmers, the workers, and the ordinary citizens—to peace and security achieved through cooperative, international solidarity.

We acknowledge the complexities of this region’s history and the suffering of many peoples under imperialist pressure, yet we refuse to let hatred be weaponized against any Jewish or non-Jewish person alike. Our stand is clear: solidarity with the oppressed, not enmity toward any community. The drone’s crash is a grim reminder that the only durable safety comes from collective struggle against exploitative power, not from renewed blocs of violence. In the end, the strength of a working-class internationalist movement will be measured by its ability to transform threat and fear into unity, and fear into organized, purposeful action toward a just and socialist future.
