One thing I’m seeing is it could be a false flag attack by Zelenskiy to try and get article 5. I wouldn’t put it past him…

Are my eyes decieving me?

A content warning? Seriously MNHQ?

Christ on a bike, that's embarrassing. I read the original title..."Fuck Russian bomb has hit Poland" and thought this thread was going to be about scented candles or something 🙄

I sometimes don't recognise MN anymore.

It appears to be a Ukrainian missile. This means Ukraine, a non NATO country, has attacked a NATO country and NATO will have to retaliate by attacking Ukraine - right? So ridiculous.
The US needs to keep out of this one and western propaganda has to end before we find ourselves in WW3.

You are so right. The little turd won't be happy until WW3 starts.

Huh? What’s all the hostility to Zelenszky in aid of? He didn’t start this war? Have the Moscow shills turned up?

I dunno. On a thread like this, I think it’s better to point and stare.

I could'nt agree more.

I posted the other day regarding a thread about an OP who was asking a perfectly valid question and because they were higher earners they were absolutely torn to shreds by a slew of bitter, jealous "don't you know there is a COL crisis?" etc, etc, vipers.

I said then that it is getting to the stage on here where MN will be putting TW on any post for those earning above £15k.🙄

Don’t be ridiculous.

Also

‘I don’t even think we should be spending billions giving Ukraine weapons never mind getting our soldiers involved themselves’

I disagree. Ukraine is trying to move to being a liberal democracy and reduce corruption. Putin and co don’t like it and for these reasons I support the U.K. supporting Ukraine. Putin needs to be defeated.

ganachee · 16/11/2022 01:30

Regarding my comment above, to be clear I mean I support U.K. giving money to equip the Ukrainian army.

Polish MP asked Poles to stay clam and to not react to propaganda/fake news. I know he was addressing Poles but maybe take his advice. Ukraine has way too much to lose to pull shi..trick like this.

Polish MP and President said this was not an attack and investigation is on going. however they confirmed the missiles were of Russian make. it might suggest they already know who and where (Belarusian question) fired them. they didn't confirmed the type it might not be s300 but something pointing out directly to Russia as they called in Russian ambassador in Warsaw. the message is that everything will be ok.

So many bots on here. Not attempting much of a disguise.

ChristmasisRuined · 16/11/2022 04:27

Biden says that the it was "unlikely to have been fired from Russia" - Well where the hell else does he think it came from, the Moon?! 🌝

I've noticed the same. Awful.

Maze76 · 16/11/2022 04:57

It’s all a pile of shit..

Zuno · 16/11/2022 05:26

It's so funny how people accuse people of being bots on threads like this - it's a new version of troll hunting when people speak reality.

Statement from Biden saying it's unlikely to have been fired from Russia

"We're now hearing from US President Joe Biden, who says it is "unlikely" that the missile responsible for killing two people in Poland was fired from Russia.

He says there is "preliminary information that contests" whether the incident in Poland was due to a missile fired from Russia.

"I don't want to say that until we completely investigate, but it's unlikely in the minds of the trajectory that it was fired from Russia, but we'll see."

Biden says that world leaders will determine the next steps after finding out what happened - following investigations taking place in Poland."

Zuno · 16/11/2022 05:27

While early reports suggested Russian missiles were responsible, Polish President Andrzej Duda says there is no “conclusive evidence” as to who was responsible

So yet again, no real developments on what has actually happened, yet Mumsnetters seem so sure "they know" and "are certain".

Maybe the wrong place to ask this. So I really do apologise in advance.

in due to travel to Poland for Christmas… would you now avoid travel to Poland?

I will of course keep an eye on things.

So Mumsnet 🤣🙈

HotStickyMess · 16/11/2022 06:10

Quote from the BBC:

The Associated Press news agency is quoting three US officials as saying a preliminary assessment suggests the missile that hit Poland was fired by Ukrainian forces at an incoming Russian missile.

Zuno · 16/11/2022 06:11

Poland is a big country - unless you are going to the Ukrainian border then there's absolutely no reason to change any travel plans at the stage when people don't even know what has actually happened.

Zuno · 16/11/2022 06:12

There are now three anonymous sources (from the US) stating that the missile was fired by Ukraine.

Everyone who was harping on about Article 4 and 5 - I am going to assume that if this is correct you will still hold very strong opinions that they should be triggered now?
