Yesterday, we reported extensively on how Ukraine and Poland tried to pull the West into war with Russia by promoting unverified information that it was a Russian missile that struck a small Polish town near the border and killed two.

Poland, unlike Ukraine, is a full member of NATO, and benefits from Article 5 that essentially states an attack on any alliance member is an attack on all.

The Russian-missile claim was later debunked after it was revealed that the missile was actually fired by Ukraine during a missile bombardment from Russia. The West refused to criticize Kyiv for either intentionally or unintentionally trying to start a world war, but instead, placed blame on Russia for attacking Ukraine and causing its own missile response.

But Andre Damon raised new questions in an article published on WSWS.org about Ukraine’s use of its S-300 missile system that “has a well-known capability of striking land-based targets.”

While Ukraine’s imperialist backers acknowledged that it was Kiev that launched the strike, they have claimed, without a shred of evidence or plausibility, that Ukrainian air defenses accidentally carried out a precision airstrike dozens of miles in the wrong direction.

If the Ukrainian air force was attempting to intercept Russian missiles, flying from the east, why were its missiles aimed to the west, at Poland? And why were they able to precisely target an inhabited building in a sparsely populated rural area? Why did Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Foreign Minister Dimitri Reznikov and an unnamed “senior U.S. intelligence official” falsely blame Russia for the attack before Polish authorities had even publicly confirmed details about the strike?

Zelensky called the missile strike a major escalation.

“Hitting NATO territory with missiles. This is a Russian missile attack on collective security. This is a really significant escalation. Action is needed,” he said.

Poland’s foreign ministry tweeted – from its official account – that a “Russia-made missile dropped on the village of Przewodów.”

The State Department referred the Trends Journal to its press briefing today, and the spokesman refused to give off any hint that the U.S. was upset with Zelensky.

“We are having this conversation because of Russia’s unjust and — and its barbaric assault on Ukrainian territorial integrity and sovereignty,” the spokesman said. “And specifically, we’re having today’s conversation because Russia launched a barrage of missiles on Ukraine specifically targeted towards civilian and energy infrastructure. And so, like I said, we’re continuing to engage with our Polish partners and our allies in the region, but again, we’ve not seen anything to contradict what President Duda had been saying.”

The West will never publicly question Ukraine because the public will no longer support the tens of billions in funding and weapons that are being funneled into Kyiv.

TRENDPOST: The Associated Press ran a correction yesterday: In earlier versions of a story published November 15, 2022, The Associated Press reported erroneously, based on information from a senior American intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity, that Russian missiles had crossed into Poland and killed two people. Subsequent reporting showed that the missiles were Russian-made and most likely fired by Ukraine in defense against a Russian attack.
