Poland, NATO say missile strike wasn’t a Russian attack

"NATO member Poland and the head of the military alliance both said Wednesday that a missile strike in Polish farmland that killed two people appeared to be unintentional and was probably launched by air defenses in neighboring Ukraine. Russia had been bombarding Ukraine at the time in an attack that savaged its power grid."

(It's not just the power grid they are going after, it's the radars and the relay stations of real time information as well. Thats the part were not being told about, it's all about civilian infrastructure and the power grid in western media accounts.)

“Ukraine’s defense was launching their missiles in various directions, and it is highly probable that one of these missiles unfortunately fell on Polish territory,” said Polish President Andrzej Duda. “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, to suggest that it was an intentional attack on Poland.”

(Like all the qualifying terms yet? Just wait.)

"The assessments of Tuesday’s deadly missile landing appeared to dial back the likelihood of the strike triggering another major escalation in the nearly 9-month-old Russian invasion of Ukraine."

(lets just completely ignore Putin's stated goals of fracturing the alliance shall we?)

"Zelenskyy told reporters he had “no doubts” about a report he received from his top commanders “that it wasn’t our missile or our missile strike.” Ukrainian officials should have access to the site and take part in the investigation, he added.

“Let’s say openly, if, God forbid, some remnant (of Ukraine’s air-defenses) killed a person, these people, then we need to apologize,” he said. “But first there needs to be a probe, access — we want to get the data you have.”

(Okay tons of questions raised here:

The people who supposedly fired the missile say it wasnt theirs.

Their leader (Zelenskyy) says he has "no doubts" it wasn't theirs based on information received from his top commanders.

Ukrainian officials apparently dont have access to the site of the blast and aren't taking part in the investigation. (That I can understand as they aren't part of NATO but it would still seem to be a good idea to include the people you say fired the missile in the investigation dont you think?

And they dont even have the data Poland and NATO do? the people that fired the missile dont have the data about where it landed or why? Why is that?)

On Tuesday, he (Zelenskyy)  called the strike “a very significant escalation.”

(I agree for a variety of reasons I'll explain later.)

"Before the Polish and NATO assessments, U.S. President Joe Biden had said it was “unlikely” that Russia fired the missile but added: “I’m going to make sure we find out exactly what happened.”

(Just because you dont want to believe it doesn't mean its not true.)

"The Polish president said the missile was probably a Russian-made S-300 dating from the Soviet era."

"Ukraine’s military said 77 of the more than 90 missiles fired were brought down by air defenses, along with 11 drones."

(Thats just a lil unrealistic, even by Patriot  or THADD or Iron Dome or NASMS metrics that's just a lil skewed to say the least.

And besides, Russia is running out of missiles says all the think tankers right? remember that? If they are running out of missiles? Why does each missile barrage keep getting bigger? 

.)

"A Washington-based think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, said Ukraine’s downing of so many Russian missiles Tuesday “illustrates the improvement in Ukrainian air defenses in the last month,” which are being bolstered with Western-supplied systems."

(So lets think about this for a second...

The people that dont know where their missile went? 

Are saying they shot down 77 of the 90 that Russia launched? 

Seems to me like if you knew how many enemy missiles came into your territory and you knew how many you shot down? 

You'd know where yours landed. 

The Ukrainians themselves are saying, "It wasnt ours.")

"Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he tried to speak to his Russian counterpart Wednesday, but those efforts were not successful. Milley didn’t elaborate on the efforts, but the lack of a conversation, at a time when there were questions about whether Russia had struck a NATO ally, raises concerns about high-level U.S.-Russian communications in a crisis."

(I dont know what that says to you? but is says a lot to me. It ought to raise concerns alright, on a wide variety of levels.)

"Power shortages caused extensive train delays extending into Wednesday, but there were no cancellations because diesel locomotives were pressed into service, rail officials said.

Kyiv resident Margina Daria said Tuesday’s strikes knocked out cellphone service in her area.

“We have already adapted to life without light, because we have scheduled outages every day, but without communication it was quite disturbing,” she said. “There was no way to even tell our families that we were OK.”

(Its not about attacking civilian infrastructure. It's about knocking out power to the radars and the relay stations.)

Lets review the list of "qualifiers" in that article shall we?:

I got:

"appeared to be unintentional"

"was probably launched"

"highly probable that one of these missiles unfortunately fell on Polish territory"

"appeared to dial back"

“unlikely” that Russia fired the missile"

"the missile was probably a Russian-made S-300"

by my count.

For this day in age?

Thats a lot of qualifiers.

Particularly a day or two later.

Submitted for your consideration:

the positioning of our and China's forces in the pacific from 10/28 until now.

(That was a lot of movement in a short amount of time basically)

Add to that, the fact that Washington was recently trying to persuade Ukraine to negotiate with Russia.

The missile landed in Poland when Biden was out of the country.

 Ukraine commanders  says it wasn't theirs and they are not being included in the investigation etc.

The fact that gen Millay couldn't reach his Russian counterpart speaks volumes, or at least it should.

I think it's pretty easy to deduce the following:

If more and more "stray" missiles hit other NATO countries, or keep landing in Poland?

Then it should be pretty obvious who is behind it and its not the Ukrainians.

Everybody ready to go to war to fight for Poland and Lithuania raise your hand.

Exactly.

It's kinda what somebody else figures too.
