Indeed. Thankfully I am certain NATO/US are not going to respond to such a minor incident with any escalation.Thread is having a normal one it seems
At least 2 people had diedIndeed. Thankfully I am certain NATO/US are not going to respond to such a minor incident with any escalation.
That was my first thought.Given the impact of tractors on Russian armor in Ukraine...
In overall scale of this war, it is very minor. Don't like to reduce people casualties to numbers but in global politics that's the normAt least 2 people had died
Not really.Russia is pushing their boundaries to test Nato limits
Exactly..This is clearly a provocation to see how would NATO react. Poland is not a friendly country to Russia at all so it makes a lot of sense..Russia is pushing their boundaries to test Nato limits
So how many people within the Nato protection should die before it will react? 5? 10? 100? A city? A region?In overall scale of this war, it is very minor. Don't like to reduce people casualties to numbers but in global politics that's the norm
Yah, waiting to hear some more substantiated info on this one. The fact its killed two people though seems ridiculously fecking unlucky.By the way some reports suggest that the cruise missiles were hit/damaged by Ukrainian air defence before hitting Poland.
That's a plausible scenario and should cause everyone to calm down a bit. Russia didn't target Poland, neither on purpose nor by accident, they still "only" attacked Ukraine.
On further thought... let's forget about being reasonable, we should take Königsberg back as a first retaliation.
Russia must have known the consequences of firing dumb missles close to the borders. This has been Putin game all along. He is escalating to see if NATO won't cower in fear and force Ukraine into negotiationsNot really.
You want to start a nuclear war now?So how many people within the Nato protection should die before it will react? 5? 10? 100? A city? A region?
It won't happen if the Russians leave Ukraine. They are already on the run so nato might as well provide them with the excuse they need to do that. Nato is truly coming this time roundYou want to start a nuclear war now?
Reports from Poland indicate it was a recoil from a missile shot down by Ukrainian forces. Even if that is not true, it more likely than not would have been just a miscalculated shot. They did not deliberately send a missile to Poland to ‘test’ NATO, they know very well any deliberate attack on NATO will cause a response.Russia must have known the consequences of firing dumb missles close to the borders.

The Russians knew of that risk and they kept firing these missles. Thyme expect a response and that response should be given.

It truly is bizarre how they’re rooted in the past. Almost certainly is an accident but needs to be some kind of reaction, maybe Polish boots on the group solely to man AD in the west or something.Tweet

Telegram channels are the only ones who still think Britain's standing on the world stage is as large as it was in the past. Which is ironic given the way the Russian state succeeded in bringing about Brexit.
Precisely. The only reason they’re firing these rockets with no military purpose is that they know Ukraine doesn’t have long range weapons to retaliate, so this attack never happens on Polish soil if NATO doesn’t play around with these half measures.The Russians knew of that risk and they kept firing these missles. Thyme expect a response and that response should be given. Putin only understand strength
Yep. People are extremely naive if they think Russians will be cursing their damn luck for a missile “accidentally” having entered NATO territory.Russia must have known the consequences of firing dumb missles close to the borders.

Poland are Ukraine no 1 ally. Ukrainians are being trained therePoland has patriots, at the very least I'd expect them to now move AD close to the border to intercept anything heading their direction, possibly protecting Lviv.
Lviv is 70km from the Russian border, Patriot batteries inside Poland would have almost no chance of intercepting missiles heading towards Lviv, they would have to be placed much closer to have any realistic chance of intercepting them.Poland has patriots, at the very least I'd expect them to now move AD close to the border to intercept anything heading their direction, possibly protecting Lviv.
This is sage advice and should be followed from basil to london.The Russians knew of that risk and they kept firing these missles. Thyme expect a response and that response should be given. Putin only understand strength
Russia had already targeted nato infrastructure (nordstream)and got away with it. Now it's stepping another notchYep. People are extremely naive if they think Russians will be cursing their damn luck for a missile “accidentally” having entered NATO territory.
The Russians have got to be careful what they wish for though. The Germans might send some more helmets before long.
