Given 's almost unbelievable sloppiness since the beginning of the war, it was inevitable that sooner or later a strike aimed at would hit a country, with lethal results. was always the most likely target. I have no idea what happens next.

@medigoth I don't think the two that hit Poland were aimed at Ukraine, the targets look deliberate.

@toni I honestly don't know what to think. On one hand, yeah, it's really hard to write this off as an accident. On the other, I'd expect a hell of a lot more than two missiles for a first strike. So at this point, I'm mainly just confused.

@medigoth Putin is testing the waters. I heard reports of a grain silo with Ukrainian grain in Poland being one of the targets, the other being the main power grid line connecting Ukraine to EU electricity. Neither look accidental. He's testing to see if NATO will stand up to him. He will see weakness in NATO response as a sign he can safely escalate.
