...

“Polish and allied aircraft have been activated, which may result in increased noise levels, especially in the south-eastern part of the country,” it said.

It later said Russia had violated Poland’s airspace with a cruise missile which “entered Polish space near the town of Oserdow (Lublin Voivodeship) and stayed there for 39 seconds”.

“During the entire flight, it was observed by military radar systems,” it added.

Poland said on Sunday it would demand an explanation from Moscow over the missile, which went 2km into Polish airspace, moving at a speed of almost 800 km/hour.

It seems like Putin doesn’t believe ISIS did it.

The official ISIS outlet Al-Amaq releases the video recorded by the terrorists from the Moscow attack

It shows the slowly walking out of the place after killing 140+ people

In the video, 1 of them shouts Allahu Akbar & that they have punished the “kuffars” (infidels)

ISIS is bragging all over the place that they did it.

It would not surprise me if Isis did this, nor would it surprise me if Russia allowed it to happen or were even behind it.

The false flag theory makes a lot of sense, but also does allowing the event to happen. Both give the Kremlin what they wanted, a rallying cry to support mobilization and continuing the war.
The “small” amount of egg on their face for not stopping the attack will soon be forgotten by the public with the cry of save the motherland drowning any criticism out.

I don’t trust any claims coming from Muslim terrorist groups, the Russian government, the Ukraine government, or the US government (in particular, the CIA).

Will we ever know the truth?

Ha! But in a way, that's sort of true. The winning side usually has more people and resources.

The tone of the headline alone is most interesting, as one places it against the less heated headlines from an earlier violation of Poland by....
Ukraine air defence likely caused Poland explosion BBC, 16 November 2022

Ukrainian air defence may have fired missile that killed 2 in Poland Financial Times, 16 November 2022.

NATO tracked missile that landed in Poland, military official says CNN, 16 November 2022.

Sidestepping the heated exchanges which Free Republic has seen of late, the difference in the legacy press as in the Polish government's take on today versus late 2022 is notable.

A breath of sanity and clear thinking this morning.

Not entirely. Anyone paying attention should know by now that terrorists, Ukraine, and the US government are the same entity.

“ violated airspace”…..the West is itching to start WW 3. Hopefully Vlad will not accommodate their wishes.That said, as Vlad continues to make gains all across the front, I expect the West to do something really, really stupid.

The Russians were taking out the newly improved (for F-16s) air base there. Please tell me it isn’t true that Patriot systems can be defeated by attacking from the rear of systems, in the opposite direction of the perceived enemy attack direction.

Starting at the three minute mark, you’ll find what was going on there last night.

ISIS and Al Queda are wholly owned subsidiaries of the CIA.

Apparently, the Russians had received warning that this was going to happen.

Putin may use this incident to mobilize more troops and send them to Ukraine.
