Sure, because what Putin has done to Ukraine isn’t already enough justification.

He never attacked a NATO state.

Threadkillacilla · 15/11/2022 19:17

Oh shit.
it was bound to happen but it's bad news.

PaidthepiperTuneismine · 15/11/2022 19:18

I knew something was odd when the press were reporting withdrawal of Russian troops from Khrevev or something sounds like that.

VillageCottageEmo · 15/11/2022 19:18

On the 10th, Poland Gov started checking the bomb shelters etc, as they thought there was a chance it would stray into their country.

Lovemusic33 · 15/11/2022 19:19

I don’t think the missile was meant to hit Poland? It was right on the border.

I don’t think NATO will step in even though they are supposed too.

It is worrying 😬

PaidthepiperTuneismine · 15/11/2022 19:20

This is now Western (NATO) justification to the masses of idiots to invade Russia. I can't say that I disagree. I would have liked to have seen him assassinated 'accidently' about 9 months ago.

It's far more likely to be Western propaganda to justify intervention by NATO. It will mean NATO war though.

Oh FFS. Learn some critical thinking.

I can’t see a military NATO response taking place. This is highly likely to have been a terrible mistake.

Boxin · 15/11/2022 19:31

An attack on one is an attack on all. Literally the whole purpose of NATO as a defensive alliance. 2 ‘NATO citizens’ have been murdered by an enemy. If NATO don’t respond then Putin will see it as weakness.
Its not an accident, maybe it’s target is off but the missiles were deliberately launched.

Aww how worrying for you
Where is he now?

Greenshake · 15/11/2022 19:32

But it wasn’t an intentional attack on Poland and this will be relevant.

Hancox432 · 15/11/2022 19:33

Looks like a stray missile. Poland and NATO are not stupid enough to start WW3 over a stray missile and frankly I'm surprised it's taken 9 months for this to happen.

Lots of condemning and summoning of Russian diplomats but unless it was a deliberate attack I can't see this being a huge escalation. Maybe talk of a no fly zone over western Ukraine as a response but that would be the absolute maximum.

nocoolnamesleft · 15/11/2022 19:34

Fuck.

Agreed. If they do fuck all then Putin will escalate.

October2020 · 15/11/2022 19:34

This is really terrifying news.

DWMoosmum · 15/11/2022 19:35

I've just seen this. Poland are a member of Nato, this is not good. I feel sick.

Prove it? I mean, I agree with you it probably wasn’t but the people are still dead regardless of intention. And if NATO don’t respond, which again they may well not, you can bet that Putin will green light further ‘accidents’. Slippery slope.
If the missile had hit your loved ones home would you be ok with it being passed off as an accident?

Nat6999 · 15/11/2022 19:35

Hancox432 isn't there a no fly zone over all of Ukraine?

carefulcalculator · 15/11/2022 19:36

It wasn't an attack, therefore it isn't an escalation. It was a stray missile.

Two people were killed

Beneficialchampion2 · 15/11/2022 19:36

Nothing will happen.

I mean in a military sense so Poland or NATO may say they will shoot down any aircraft or rockets that stray far enough west to become a threat to NATO
