Russian missile hits Poland.

[Scrumpy]

Oh dear.. Poland is a NATO country.. 
I wonder what will happen next..

[Raven]

I dread to think. Putin must know the rest of the world condemns him for this war. AND, why do the Russian people believe all he says, they know he blacks out anything he doesn't want them to know.

[Alex]

I guess NATO can now officially get involved.

[klondike]

I suspect they may put it down as an accident and do bugger all. Given the apparent ineptitude of the Russian military it could well have been. Russia is obviously denying it happened at all.

[Alex]

AnyU S bases in that part of Poland ? 

[Raven]

Russia is denying it, but that's expected.

[Sheila]

Biden is saying he doesn't think it was Russia.  

[Raven]

Soooooo, Who was it?

[Ashy]

Almost definitely a false flag if it happened at all. Russia is not that stupid.

[klondike]

I doubt that the Ukrainians would be daft enough to risk a false flag attack on Poland who are providing them lots of assistance.

I certainly don't doubt that it happened.

I don't have doubts about the premise that one of the hundred or more Russian missiles launched against Ukraine at the time missed their intended target. If you assume all their missiles are hitting their targets then the many that are hitting civilian targets such as apartment blocks and children's playgrounds must be considered to be deliberate too.

It seems the Americans think they were Ukrainian missiles that hit Poland in error They were aimed at incoming Russian missiles.

Yes the word is they are Ukranian defence missiles. Possibly manufactured in Russia but can be identified from their fragments, and there won't be much doubt about the direction they arrived from. Oh dear, I thought you were supposed to aim them first.

[Alex]

Sorry US bases 

[Scrumpy]

One big mystery... 

[klondike]

They'll work out what happened. It will have been an accident for sure as neither the Russians nor the Ukrainians would have deliberately attacked Poland. Both sides are using antiquated Soviet era missiles which bugger up more often than modern ones and even they aren't perfect.

Could easily have been simple human error too. this war has been running since February and I doubt the troops on either side get much R&R time.

Leaves Zelensky with some egg on his face if it was a Ukrainian missile as he jumped in boots first trying to stir up some action by the Poles.

[Ashy]

I hear the Poles have confirmed it is Ukraine's. Perhaps their compass needed winding up or something since Poland is north and Russia is east?
