Fragments of alleged projectile that landed (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/8628) in Ukraine-bordering Polish settlement match with fragments of Kiev’s S-300 air defense system
Comparison of missile fragments from site of Polish explosion shows STRIKING resemblance to S-300 air defense missile used by the Ukrainian anti-air systems on the its border with Poland.
Matching up images of projectile that fell onto Polish territory earlier today with fragments of missile that fell in Dagestan, South Russia, in 2020 – an anti-aircraft guided missile allegedly launched by Azerbaijani S-300 system – shows clear similarities, including number of notches on wreckage parts.
BREAKING: Joe Biden Says “Preliminary” Information Suggests it is “Unlikely” that a Russian Missile was Responsible for Poland Attack
Did Russia Just Strike Poland? No, Kiev Did! – Larry Johnson writes
Neither Poland nor the Brits appear inclined to wait for facts to develop and are rattling swords about the need to invoke article 5 of the NATO Charter.
The United States, by contrast, is exercising great caution. Part of the reason for that hesitancy is the financial collapse of FTX, which is exposing evidence that the Democrats, some Republicans, the Ukrainians and FTX organized an elaborate financial kickback scheme.
The scheme involved promising members of Congress who sent money to Ukraine a hefty contribution in turn from a Democrat benefactor. In this case, the owner of FTX. Once the U.S. dollars were credited to Ukraine’s account, President Zelensky and his partners diverted some of the proceeds to purchase crypto currency from FTX. FTX, in turn, sent some of that funds back to the cooperating members of Congress and the Democrat National Committee. This scheme is unraveling. The dummies mistakenly believed that crypto is untraeable. Nope. Thanks to block chain, eminently traceable.
If article 5 is invoked because of the alleged attack on Poland then we are facing a major, dangerous escalation of the war in Ukraine. A lot of Polish troops have been killed in Ukraine over the last month and I doubt the leaders in Warsaw are in the mood to negotiate.
Meanwhile, President Zelensky gave a schizophrenic speech about the missiles smashing throughout Ukraine.
On the one hand he acknowledges that the Russian missiles have knocked out electrical power in many cities, which also affects the ability to supply water and heat to more than 10 million Ukrainians. But then he makes this odd claim, i.e., boasting that Western air defense systems have shot down most of these Russian missiles. Really? Take a look at these two successive missiles striking Kiev earlier today:
I don’t know where the NSAAMs are deployed, but they certainly were not in a position to stop these strikes in Kiev, Larry Johnosn writes
On Tuesday night, the Republic of Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the ambassador of the Russian Federation and “demanded an immediate and detailed explanation” following the missile strikes. The Poland MFA claimed that the missile was Russian-made.
Below is the full statement:
“On 15 November 2022, another hours-long, massive shelling took place of the entire territory of Ukraine and its critical infrastructure by the armed forces of the Russian Federation. At 3:40 pm, a Russia-made missile dropped on the village of Przewodów, district Hrubieszów, Lubelskie province, and resulted in death of two citizens of the Republic of Poland. Therefore, Minister of Foreign Affairs Zbigniew Rau summoned the ambassador of the Russian Federation to Polish MFA and demanded immediate and detailed explanation.”

Biden calls ‘emergency’ NATO meeting
US President Joe Biden has convened an emergency meeting among NATO and allied leaders after a deadly blast rocked a Polish border town near Ukraine, vowing to assist an investigation into the incident.
Biden met with officials from six other NATO states, as well as Japan, early on Wednesday morning to discuss an explosion which killed two people in the Polish town of Przewodow the day prior, the White House said. Ahead of the meeting – held in Bali, Indonesia amid this year’s G20 summit – the president was asked whether he could share what he knows about the blast, but simply said “no.”
Senior officials from Germany, Canada, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, France, Britain and Japan took part in the sit-down with their American counterparts, according to Reuters. It is unclear why Polish officials did not participate, or whether NATO would hold a separate meeting with all of its 30 members, as the bloc’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg previously noted the alliance would consult on the incident.
Soon after the explosion, Warsaw said it would place its military on higher alert and consider whether to invoke NATO’s Article 4 provision – which indicates a member state feels threatened and requires consultations among the alliance. It differs from Article 5, a collective security measure that would compel all NATO states to come to the defense of another member.
