    The real scandal is that Zelensky blamed this on Russia, knowing that the missile was fired by his own military. All with the goal of dragging NATO into the war with Russia. He really wants to provoke a nuclear war, and our governments keep sending him billions.

      Also, Fred Provotzky, the guy who actually fired the missile, has some bias towards missiles. A couple of days before, a missile had actually ended the glorious look of his favorite electronics store. For this reason, we’re pretty sure the firing was a personal matter and not the fault of the missile. Op to that point, the missile had been prepared for it’s final flight for an entire year since manufacturing. Most of the missile friends had actually terminated their employment efficiently except Herv the wacky rocket. This might have been the reasons why Fred fired that rocket. It is unlikely to ever see Mr missile employed ever again. The unemployment office has not been hit by a visit. Interestingly, the DMV is also missing a visit. Some say Mr missile couldn’t take it anymore, and after he got fired he was all in pieces. It’s the typical PTSD where the victim has to take it out on loved ones or friends. But he’s now in a better place (Poland), at least since there’s no war there. May he grow roots and flourish there, and make those who were victimized not suffer from satire like Mr Missile Rocketzon has.

    Before anyone gets too excited about “I told you so”, it’s worth noting that this only happened because Russia is conducting a bombing campaign across Ukraine to terrorize civilians, including very close to the Polish border. Ultimately the fault lies with Russia.

      I guess we’ll see when more details come out. Given the growing evidence that it was an Ukrainian S-300, why would it be so far off course, and not just that, in the complete opposite direction to the approaching missiles from the east it would be trying to intercept?
      And it just so happens to hit a tractor in the middle of empty farmland. It’s almost like Ukraine would have something to gain if article 5 were triggered.

        Well, a tractor and two people. But the how is not too much of a mystery. The area is sparsely but somewhat populated. There is a small chance of mass casualties along the border, but a fairly large chance of killing someone.

      This war is happening because NATO has been encroaching on Russia since the 90s. The war could also have been stopped back in April, but US and UK intervened to keep it going. Ultimately, as anybody with a shred of intellectual honesty knows, the fault lies with the west.

      Also, Russia is conducting a bombing campaign to paralyze Ukrainian electric grid which is used to deliver weapons to the frontline because Ukrainian rail system predominantly uses electric locomotives.
