Posters are saying it might have been a mistake, he knows exactly what he is doing trying to provoke Nato he's a fucking madman

What would he get from provoking nato though???

What do you want the response to be?

Not sure but I think we have to ask ourselves were do we draw the line. Mistake or not russia will carry on as they are and scenarios like this will become more common.

A much more palatable excuse for pulling out of Ukraine.

I'd say she could make me laugh for 10 years but I probably wouldn't be seeing the bright side of life when my wife stabbed me in my sleep :)

Russia will expect a response. It needs to be pitched right and be proportionate or it could either make NATO look weak or cause an escalation.

Just a technicality, but I personally would say that if he's a madman it's incorrect to say that he knows exactly what he's doing.

Let’s have a nuclear war it will reduce the population and stop Arsenal winning the league

It did hit 8bn today so we can afford to lose a few

As the 8 billionth child is born, who were 5th, 6th and 7th?

The world is still growing, but not as fast as when the six- and seven-billionth babies were born.

It’s far more likely it was a mistake, either through the incompetence of Russia or it being a missile shot off target, than them deliberately wanting to land it in Poland.

It will probably lead to triggering article 4 by NATO. However mad you think Putin is, triggering NATO into more support for Ukraine is the absolute last thing he’d have wanted.

Interesting timeline of reports coming in.

Polish government spokesman Piotr Muller has confirmed that there was an explosion that killed two Polish citizens, Reuters news agency reports.

Poland is raising the readiness of its military units, he says, and "verifying if we need to activate Nato Article Four".

That article says: "The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened."
