So, a delicate foreign policy situation has arisen in the past day or so. A missile has struck a small border town in Poland, and it's causing massive international tensions. As we know, hitting a NATO member is a big red line that could mean war with Russia. But based on the context, it looks like it was probably an accident? It looks like the missile was from Ukrainian air defenses, not Russia itself. Of course NATO is blaming Russia anyway, since if they didn't invade Ukraine, none of this would have happened.
This is NOT a good situation. An attack on Poland can trigger an article 5 declaration, which means World War 3 and possible nuclear war. We DON'T want that. That's bad. And I'm hoping cooler heads prevail, and people just accept a mistake for what it is, a mistake. Ya know, 108 years ago, we went to war because some butthole shot some arch duke, and because we were rigid with our alliances, everyone clamored over it and used it to go to war with each other. It led to one of the most deadly and brutal wars in human history. I really don't want that to happen again over 2 polish farmers in some border town. If Russia forced our hand and intentionally started attacking Poland, sure, we'd more or less be FORCED to react, but what are European leaders thinking with this blame Russia stuff? I'm FINE with helping Ukraine defend themselves, but getting involved directly is no. I'm NOT liking this posturing on it. It was a mistake, sure it sucks, but let it go. This isn't worth having World War 3 over. Take the high road, guys.
