For example, Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Nad <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/poland-what-we-know-about-russian-missile-strike-in-nato-territory-12748459\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> that they were \u201cvery concerned by Russian missiles dropping in Poland\u201d and:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cRussia must explain what happened.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The former head of the British Army, Lord Richard Dannatt, <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.news.yahoo.com\/russian-missiles-kill-two-people-185400771.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boldly claimed<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cModern technology is pretty accurate, so it\u2019s quite difficult to explain away that this might have been an accident.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And naturally, President Volodymyr Zelensky <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/defense\/3737015-zelensky-calls-russian-missiles-hitting-poland-really-significant-escalation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> that this strike on NATO territory is a \u201csignificant escalation\u201d and \u201caction\u201d is needed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, all signs point to the missile that landed coming not from the Russians, but from the Ukrainians.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tap The Brakes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Pentagon has got to handle these unnamed U.S. officials who like to blab to the Associated Press.
