Not a chance. They will get a warning. If this happens again, they will get a second warning.
A really stern one, though
A strongly worded letter of condemnation might follow after that.
I say trigger article 5 and be done with it.
The least NATO should do is get the terrorist out of Ukraine as soon as possible.
Hmmm, how hard is it to hit the wrong country
Thread is having a normal one it seems
Who’s the terrorist?
By the way some reports suggest that the cruise missiles were hit/damaged by Ukrainian air defence before hitting Poland.
That's a plausible scenario and should cause everyone to calm down a bit. Russia didn't target Poland, neither on purpose nor by accident, they still "only" attacked Ukraine.
On further thought... let's forget about being reasonable, we should take Königsberg back as a first retaliation.

Something we can all agree on
Russia definitely didn't target Poland.
Yeah. Most likely it is a recoil or a missed target, very little chance that they hit Poland on purpose. People over here freaking about it a lot but I’m not really buying into any panic over what has happened here (as opposed to what went on with energy infrastructure in Ukraine).
I am not sure about that.
On almost any other day, I would agree with you.
But today, Russia was very heavily criticised at the G20. And Zelenski was remotely addressing G20 saying Ukraine will not give up any of its territory to Russia and intends to fight to the end.
Maybe I am wrong.
But I can visualise a discussion saying - just fire one of the 100 or so missiles over the border into Poland and lets see what the reaction is....
It could be a malfunctioning Ukrainian air defense missiles or it could be a damaged Russian cruise missile that overflew it's target. There is no way of knowing until the Polish military has examined the debris.
They most likely didn’t attack on purpose but when you attack so close to the border, there is always a risk of something like that happening. There must be a strong response to that so maybe, just maybe next time that will think twice before blindly firing rockets in all directions. We cannot let it slide with no consequences but I fear we will.

Will this make it to 1k pages before Armageddon?
Debatable.....

Indeed. Thankfully I am certain NATO/US are not going to respond to such a minor incident with any escalation.
Nato should politely ask the Russians to leave Ukraine before they move in. Each inch of nato land is sacred and since Russian junk cannot hit accurately then nato has no choice but to make the area safe
Given the impact of tractors on Russian armor in Ukraine...
At least 2 people had died
That was my first thought.
Nice to know you all.
Russia is pushing their boundaries to test Nato limits
In overall scale of this war, it is very minor. Don't like to reduce people casualties to numbers but in global politics that's the norm
Not really.
Exactly..This is clearly a provocation to see how would NATO react. Poland is not a friendly country to Russia at all so it makes a lot of sense..
So how many people within the Nato protection should die before it will react? 5? 10? 100? A city? A region?
Poland should invade Belarus.
Yah, waiting to hear some more substantiated info on this one. The fact its killed two people though seems ridiculously fecking unlucky.
What would they gain with attacking NATO? They're stuck in Ukraine and they suddenly decide to wage war with whole on nato.
Russia must have known the consequences of firing dumb missles close to the borders. This has been Putin game all along. He is escalating to see if NATO won't cower in fear and force Ukraine into negotiations
You want to start a nuclear war now?
Poland has patriots, at the very least I'd expect them to now move AD close to the border to intercept anything heading their direction, possibly protecting Lviv.
It won't happen if the Russians leave Ukraine. They are already on the run so nato might as well provide them with the excuse they need to do that. Nato is truly coming this time round
Telegram channels are the only ones who still think Britain's standing on the world stage is as large as it was in the past. Which is ironic given the way the Russian state succeeded in bringing about Brexit.
