Russian missiles may have fallen in Poland

[Happy Hoosier]

This could potentially be a big deal. Poland COULD declare an exclusion zone in Western Ukraine

1. sad

(not that I have tender feelings for Polish people, considering their history against 'the tribe.')

2. Confirmed by US now.

Two people killed after Russian missiles crossed into Poland, says US intelligence official

A senior US intelligence official said Russian missiles crossed into Nato member Poland, killing two people.

Poland’s prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki has convened an urgent meeting of a committee for national security and defence affairs, the government spokesman Piotr Müller said on Twitter.

Müller did not mention what the committee was due to discuss but local media reported that the meeting may be related to a reported explosion on the Polish border with Ukraine.

Russia shelled cities and energy facilities across Ukraine on Tuesday, including Lviv, a city in the west of the country close to Poland.

3. Poland won't just take this on the chin

Too many Poles still remember Russian tanks driving down the street, camping out overnight for bread. They hate Russia on a very personal level and for every good reason.

4. This could be the start of something unpleasant

NATO may not enter the war but surely there will be a response politically and economically if not militarily.

6. I'm sure it waqs more a statement than an actual "response"

But if I were Poland, I would consider declaring an exclusion zone over Western Ukraine and fly compbat air patrols. We'll see, of course.
