This is what irrational paranoia looks like.
Poland disagrees.
Reuters: Polish experts confirm missile that hit grain facility was Ukrainian
Sources with knowledge of the investigation told Rzeczpospolita that Poland had established that the missile that landed in the village of Przewodow was an S 300 5-W-55 air-defence missile fired from Ukrainian territory.
"This rocket has a range of 75 km to 90 km," the newspaper cited a source as saying. "At that time, the Russian positions were in a place from which no Russian missile could reach Przewodow."

And are you sure that Poland didn't agree to say this in order to deescalate?
And is it not Russia's fault anyway? Ukraine was reacting to Russia's aggression, this aggression was dangerous enough to cause this accident, is this not a reason to invoke article 5?
Article 5 could potentially be triggered if a NATO country is threatened with land invasion and could potentially be taken over but this mostly because these countries are USA dogs anyway so it will be like the USA is losing ground of influence and control. Even then I don't think that these smallish baltic countries are important enough. Greece could perhaps be important enough because we are very close to Israel.

Like I said...
Also, it's not even a good conspiracy theory if it implies that the country that was hit has to agree to lie in order to deescalate.
Sure, it's Russia's fault. And no, it's not enough to trigger Article 5, because it was an accident, not an armed attack. That's a huge difference.
No, Article 5 stipulates "armed attack" not "threats".
Aaaaand we're back to baseless paranoid conspiracy theory nonsense.

What if these rockets killed US citizens? or perhaps Israeli citizens?
Would it have the same significance as when they killed Polish citizens?
Please don't tell me yes, you know it's not true.
Anyway guys, even Zelensky said it himself, when Israel was attacked by Iran the entire NATO intercept the missles and Israel is not a member of NATO, the same doesn't happen in Ukraine.
Can we agree that some are viewed as more important than others? and that some opponents are easier to fight than others? article 5 means so little if you take into account all of this.

Conventional warfare doesn't always jump to the conclusion of nukes (aka MAD) but Putin's war against Ukraine by design is one against the West as a whole. Ukraine is a stepping stone for resources to facilitate a war against NATO and the West, to restore Russian supremacy back to Soviet times.
Others in on it include North Korea, Iran, and China, and their minor allies, all of which have a significant vendetta against peculiar US allies if not the US itself. North Korea wants to destroy South Korea, Iran with Israel (and obtain total regional dominance by also destroying Saudi Arabia, etc), and China wants Taiwan as a similar stepping stone to Ukraine to inevitably challenge Western dominance in a real war.
Nukes are just a psychological leverage superpowers like Russia and China have for annexing small countries step by step for now.
If only there were active mods down here
he is a pawn/figurehead puppet but that doesn't always imply something bad. I mean, you can't seriously think the US would assist Ukraine out of merely goodwill.
The US is not directly in a war with Russia right now, but Zelenksy and Ukraine is the proxy the US is using to significantly weaken and drain Russia.
Should Ukraine win, it's pretty obvious that while the US isn't going to annex Ukraine, it will have access to its rich resources as part of the bargain. Deal with the devil vs absolute destruction (Russia), pretty much.
