    So it looks like it was Ukraine attempting to shoot down a Russian missile that caused the explosion in Poland.

    I must admit I'm disappointed.

    Yes, you're late to this party. It's exactly that and nothing more.

    Why are you disappointed, though

    Because I was hoping to see Russia finally get the kind of response they deserve.

    Most of us do not share your rager for WWIII, so...

    This outcome is a reasonable one, not ideal, but workable.

    update: NATO chief and Poland have officially responded, both citing it as an "accident" and not Ukraine's fault. Instead, they have absolutely condemned Russia for everything pertaining to it - up to the two deaths.

    Which is exactly how it should be stated.

    I sincerely hope aid in restoring Ukraine's infrastructure comes pumping through hard. Winter is at the doorstep and people are going to need help to keep from freezing to death, dying of thirst, etc.

    The most ruined nut of 2022.
    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.

    "Inevitably" as in "never going to happen".

    Turns out, it wasn't the Russians after all. Guess we dodged a bullet! Or the Russians rather.

    Didn't you call for WW3 just yesterday? You need to get your mood swings under control...

    Not caring is the fundamental attitude of every last nation on this globe, unless it directly affects them, which is precisely why things are as fucked up as they are.

    Zelensky is still claiming it's Russians though. https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/872588.html

    Is it? How so? Things could be so much better, but they aren't because the political will is not existent, on one part of the globe atrocities are shouted out about loud and clear, if it affects those around them, in other parts they are ignored if they are inconvenient, or well pragmatic. If you honestly want to enforce a truly moral system on the globe, you need to utterly break the status quo, because currently the globe runs on fucking suffering.

    Then he's gonna be in denial, always sucks that your righteous cause to defend your populace from annihilation can result in an accident like this. Other than that, two rockets were found, so one of them could as well be russian - the one being deflected.

    But that raises a question from me, how do two rockets end up in entirely same location? And the media seems to keep the story about two intact rockets, while sometimes stating it's a single rocket, with remains of another that came with it, not an entire 2nd rocket.
