It seems obviously insane to hear about a grain elevator explosion and immediately leap to the conclusion that it's Russian missiles that missed their target. The chance of that happening is nonzero but microscopic compared to the the possibility of it https://doing. Until they find missile pieces it's just people stroking themselves hoping for the war to escalate and get bloodier because they're bored or something. Disgusting

Russia conducting a Mickey Mouse war has emboldened people who smell blood in the water and sense weakness.

The US bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in what was not very likely an accident, and China had to roll with it. By contrast, even a slight pretext here can be used to extract more from what’s seen as a prostrate Russia.

It's very funny how carefully you've avoided the realities of war funding. Nowhere in your assessment is the concept that a state at war may need to buy weapons or pay soldiers or that those expenses could come from other areas (like infrastructure and agriculture) in the form of debt.

On top of all that is working backwards from the premise that Vietnam was free to choose whatever it wanted to rather than facing coercion by a unilateral trade bloc.

:rolleyes:

Don't you know that bombs and other war materials can only be purchased with Warbucks? Vietnam was only paying back the debt for regular Bucks, so it's fundamentally different

The scariest thing about it being deflected missile fragments (or a stray interceptor?) is that the possibility of Russian saboteurs with access to cigarettes igniting grain silos remains.

That's true it'll take some time to know if that's actually missile bits or where/when it came from.

Article 5 wouldn't allow the invasion of Russia in this case cause they aren't trying to invade Poland (yet)
Its a defensive pact so it would mostly end with new air defense and FF posting from Poland for a few years.

They should give them to Ukrainians so that they stop accidentally shooting their old ones into Poland.
