    As always, you are fanboying Putin. Imagining that he is second to a god.

    Meanwhile in reality, he is going towards a dead end. Maybe come back to this thread in a year at earliest, and then see how things actually developed, instead of thinking that this war actually lasts 3 days at most...?

    Ukraine will probs be fighting the entire next year, and Neo-USSR is going to buckle and fall piece by piece. Yes, more civilians will die in Ukraine because that's how terrorist states operate, but the same time the ultimate price becomes far higher for Nazi Russia.

    Perhaps, but NK quality is shite and Iran claims not to be interested in supplying rockets, drones yes, rockets, no.

    In any case "native" russian rockets are running out.

    rockets are still rockets; they kill people regardless of what they are, and putin only has interest killing civilians

    also, hypothetically, you don't want russia to run out of rockets - or they might resort to other things

    I don't see art. 5 invoked over an accident either, but russia had best apologize quickly or they are, as you say, in deep doo-doo.

    Don't expect too much though, I definitely am pessimistic enough to not wait for a military intervention to put an end to Russia's warmongering for once and for all, in any form.

    But the plot thickens.

    Please, stop overestimating us.
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    At least two dead after Russian missiles land in NATO state Poland on Ukraine border

    Two people have been killed in Poland after two stray Russian rockets landed near the border with Ukraine.

    The rockets landed in the NATO state following Russia's mass bombardment of Ukrainian cities earlier today, which saw over 100 rockets launched.

    According to the AP news agency, a senior US intelligence official said that the missiles were of Russian origin.

    Poland's Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, has convened the Committee of the Council of Ministers for National Security and Defense Affairs "as a matter of urgency", government spokesman Piotr Müller confirmed, with local news sites claiming this is likely the result of the explosions.

    The rockets fell in the town of Przewodów, hitting grain dryers. The police, prosecutor's office and the army are reportedly already on the site.

    Meanwhile, Polish Armed Forces are reportedly on "high alert".

    The attack could prompt Poland to trigger NATO's Article 5 provisions, calling on all of the treaty's members to attack Russia. According to Article 5, an attack against one NATO Ally is considered an attack against all Allies.
    Bit sensational wording right there, but I start to see finnish news stating that USA confirmed it to be rockets, not grain dust explosion as some social media outlets think.

    Also from same article:

    Some analysts have suggested the rockets' intended target may have been Lviv, a Ukrainian city about 100km south of Przewodów.

    The missile fell 65 kilometres within Poland.
    Yep, wouldn't be surprised, thats russian quality accuracy.

    Some say 1 missile is an accident, 2...not so much.

    I can't see art. 5 being invoked, but I COULD see Poland saying that they need to activate their anti-air defenses against further rocket attacks.

    Putin and Xi don't have friends. They have alliances of convenience. When those alliances stop being convenient...those alliances no longer exist.
    You will all notice that certain posters are all very keen to talk about Neely's actions before the Chokehold...but they dodge every question about Penny's actions during the chokehold.... particularly that he held the chokehold after Neely lost consciousness...

    Grain dust explosions are nasty though.

    As for 1 is an accident, 2 not so much, depends entirely on how the were fired, I mean plenty of stories of friendly fire incidents with multiple projectiles fired accidentally at the same target.

    I think a lot will depend on how russia responds.

    Even if it turns out true, and Russia did hit Poland with a missile, all that is going to happen is Russia deny everything saying it's Ukrainian provocation and west "believing" that for the sake of not going into WW3.

    Wish it wasn't the truth, but that's the most likely scenario in my opinion.

    Denial, whether poland will accept it or not, is the interesting bit.
