Yesterday, at around 3.40 in the afternoon, a rocket exploded in the Polish village of Przewod\u00f3w. Two people died. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky\u00a0immediately blamed Russia<\/a>, later going so far as to characterise the alleged attack as a\u00a0message from Putin to the G20 summit<\/a>. Then the Associated Press\u00a0reported that they had heard from \u201ca senior U.S. intelligence official\u201d claiming that \u201cRussian missiles\u201d were responsible for the attack<\/a>, and thereafter the worst German journalistic actors embarked upon an evening of dark speculation about the proper NATO response to a Russian attack on Poland. Higher brow outlets,\u00a0like ZDF<\/a>, merely ran inflammatory headlines about\u00a0Russian rockets<\/a>, with the crucial information \u2013 that the rockets were Russian-made, while their immediate origins were unclear \u2013 buried in the body of the piece. Bild, on the other hand, went all-in,\u00a0with this incredible rant from chief editor Johannes Boie<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Russian army has bombed Poland, the AP news agency reports, citing a US intelligence official.<\/p>\n

Two people are dead, murdered!<\/p>\n

Accidental or not \u2013 this is an armed attack on NATO territory!<\/p>\n

The two most likely possibilities are, first, that Putin\u2019s soldiers hit Poland by mistake. They are often poorly trained and drunk. In this case, the tyrant must apologise formally, beg for forgiveness on bended knee, so to speak, while armed NATO fighter jets fly around his country.<\/p>\n

He is not used to that. When his troops shot down a passenger plane in 2014, killing 298 people, there were no consequences.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
