Re: Missile Strikes Poland

Who fired the missile is not known. Some reports say the missile is of Russian manufacture but do not say how they might know that

by looking at the remains of it. Of course both russia and Ukraine use russian built weapons.

Re: Missile Strikes Poland

Biden is saying that the missile didn't originate in Russia, which implies that he knows a lot more about it than he's saying. The BBC has just said that there was a AWACS in the air at the time tracking the latest attacks so there's reason to think he does.

NATO is clearly talking it down and it's fairly clear that targeting a farm in a NATO country isn't likely to be a deliberate Russian tactic but Poland is asking for an Article 4 meeting. Ukraine is asking for NATO air support which they won't get but they may get more equipment as a result.

Everyone so afraid of what happened they don't want say anything.

This is a war. Friendly fire is a reality. I can imagine how embarrassed, nay, mortified, the UDF feels. How do you say "oops" in Ukrainian?

Biden has just agreed to send Patriot missile batteries to Ukraine. Better late than never I suppose. I wonder how many? They need a lot.
