Pentagon gives update after missile hits Poland

The US has seen no information so far that contradicts Polish President Andrzej Duda’s “preliminary assessment” that the explosion in Poland that left two dead “was most likely the result of a Ukrainian defense missile,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said at a press conference at the Pentagon. “Whatever the final conclusions may be, the world knows that Russia bears ultimately responsibility for this incident,” Austin added. #CNN #News

    1. @Brad Jones Russia always has an BS excuse when they invade their neighbors to steal their land… Before Russia it was Soviet, before Soviet it was Russian something, before that it was Muscovy, before that it was the Horde…. Always an excuse to invade or then they provoke neighbors until they have no other option than try to stop them.

    2. @Brad Jones USA is not the world. That area that Russia occupies today has been like that since before USA existed…

    3. @Ben Tels No it wont, Africa has no nuclear weapons . mexico and south america , most of asia so 8 billion wont be wiped out, but russia will be, so worth it

    4. The Putin’s power is already falling apart, only a small wind is needed for Russia to completely fall apart into small states, if the United States provides Ukraine with fighting planes ( fighters) with Polish volunteers, then the war in Ukraine will be won tomorrow and the Putin regime will collapse and the collapse of Russia will begin, the United States should not be pulled, they may miss their chance..🦩🦩🦅🦅

    1. It already confirm it was fired from Ukraine. Zelensky tryna push USA into a world war 3 with Russia. Yikes! 😬

    2. He beat that bush into the dirt!
      (all the while delaying direct answers to the question).

      The “read” is: ‘No, we’re not going to take any direct action against Russia at this time’.

      Weak.

    3. Still doesn’t explain how a missle aimed at Russia (to the east of ukraine) ends up in poland (far west of ukraine) did this missle traverse the earth before landing? I gurantee you if I launch a missle from Virginia Beach into the Atlantic Ocean IT WILL NOT FIND ITS WAY INTO WEST VIRGINIA OR KENTUCKY…I gurantee you that, thats not how that works

    4. All he did was beat around the bush and talk about what everybody already know. He’s not a soldier, he’s a politician.

    5. @Radicaleyes To The Point LoL, this fool just lied to the American people through his teeth, Russia is not looking to grab territory, the are trying to destroy the Ukraine military. their retreating is to persevere their forces why the pound theirs. Russia is not losing the war. Lies, Lies, Lies. what ever you hear the Russia losing lots and lots of men. Ukraine is losing far more. The Ukraine just killed a men with a sledgehammer because he didn’t want to fight Russia. You will never hear this on this platform, they lie.

  1. My heart breaks for the Ukrainians. It’s going to be a brutal winter for them . With no heat, electricity and other essential things…

    1. @Unknown1 give it a break! Russian trolls have been trying to convince Europeans that they are in trouble! You will be disappointed to hear that they will be fine and will continue to support Ukraine until Russia withdraw all troops from Ukraine!

  2. As a friend and as a former warrior my deepest condolences to the loved ones of those lost. To those who currently have the watch; with greatest respect I honor your support of Ukraine and restraint from simply annihilating all things Putin. Blessings and god speed.

    1. @Da Gre …yeah…he or she was going around the world killing people in the name of the US , but by Putin’s order…

    2. support Ukraine? funny bc they hit poland and yet everyone is like…. oopsy…. I guess article 5 is not happening

    3. @First Order Trooper Trollvaritch, perhaps if your master Putler had not sent missiles 30 km from the Polish border, this kind of thing would never have happened?

      @Tanjiro
      Путлер говорите?
      Заткнитесь глупцы поддерживающие международную террористическую организацию “Преступная группа Зеленского”.
      Не позволяйте такому корявому шуту как ты говорить о России.

  3. Very sad for the lives lost and I’d add the ones we have yet to see because this explosion hit a food production plant. With all of the food disruptions that Russians have caused I find it very strange that it randomly fell out of the sky behind the border facing away from the direction of the war front…..perhaps someone else can see this as logical but I can’t.

  4. Austin is very meticulous with his responses and he’s extremely intelligent. He has the experience through his military service to actually relate what’s happening on the ground in a way everyone can understand. Much respect for him

    1. Is that why he said it was completely Russia’s fault. This guy is a puppet foe the military industrial complex.

      Over the past 10-15 years, the US completely surrounded Russia with various military assets like, Missile defense system in Ronania & Poland, a Biological Weapons lab in Ukraine?

      And the cherry on top, in 2014 the US backed a coup in Ukraine, where the Pro-Russian government was replaced by a Western puppet, that is anti-Russian and pro-West? If the Ukrainian people were better offer, maybe it would be justifiable. However, Ukraine has the most government corruption in all of Europe. Is it a surprise then that, some Ukrainians actually support Russia, or that Ukrainian militias have supported Russia, against Zelensky’s government?

      If China put, Missile systems in Canda installed an Anti-American Government in Mexico and was trying to make Puerto Rico join a military alliance against America, it would be considered an act of war. That’s what America did to Russia.

      The war in Ukraine is wrong, but things aren’t black & white. Our military industrial complex kept encroaching into Russia, their actions caused this war.

      These 2 are a Disgrace !

      If they truly wanted to honor the 13 soldiers, they would have resigned from their position.

      You’re an Idiot. Say that in front of the family members of the 13 dead soldiers. You’re obviously one of the millions uniform/ignorant morons in this country..

    3. @Andrew Wright The coordinates for Kyiv and Lviv match the coordinates for the missile explosion in Poland. the latitude for Kyiv and the longitude for Lviv match the farm area in Poland. Plus the Ukrainian s300 is supposed to self destruct, they were not reengineered like the Russian ones to be used against ground targets.

    4. US General Mark Milley, speaking on Nov 9 at the NY Economics Club
      He said :- “”Politically, there may be a political solution where, politically, the Russians withdraw. That’s possible,” he added, saying Russia “right now is on its back.”
      That’s right, Russia is “on its back”

  5. Pretty good question & answer session. Straight answers, telling us what they think, giving evidence, providing solid explanations. I like it.

  6. The issue whether or not this is Ukraine’s defense missle, had it not because of Russia,raining down on Ukraine with its missile attacks, Russia does not take responsibility for its crime whether reckless or intentional.

  7. What an excellent press briefing by the Secretary and Joint Chief! Both so articulate. Milley in particular. I’m not a natural fan of Milley, but he was super strong today.

    As for the press, duh 🙄

    The Chinese guy at the end asked the most penetrating questions. Milley’s answer to him was very informative.

    1. @Iq Nill they’ve stolen enough money… maybe that’s all people can afford? But you seem energetic… so enlist! Bet you don’t… limp wristed virtue signaler

    2. @Where’s The Wall? 😂😂😂 ukraine was in the middle of a civil war for how long???? This is just dong boy z trying to give them a common enemy…. When he is actually the enemy

  8. Truly an amazing press conference, from Milley’s warning about China to Austin’s respect for the reporting pool, including wishing them a Happy Thanksgiving. The mutual deference was interesting, and the generals were quite forthcoming about the situation in Ukraine and elsewhere, details for security purposes notwithstanding.

    1. He’s a puppet foe the military industrial complex.

      Over the past 10-15 years, the US completely surrounded Russia with various military assets like, Missile defense system in Ronania & Poland, a Biological Weapons lab in Ukraine?

  9. I find these very interesting and very proud of my country, despite the critics.
    Also I’m very proud of all the NATO allies and their hard work and unity.
    Poland is more than capable of handling all the investigations into what happened.
    Ukraine and their people are more than capable to fight this war on their own, they only need support.
    I’m proud of how the US is handling this, as stated they are not making any decisions and only there for support.

    1. Ukraine is capable to fight on their own but with massive Western support in weapons, funds, cannon fodder mainly from Poland and military surveilance from US. Cute!

  10. Both Austin and Milley are impressive, and Milley, especially, has a refreshingly simple and direct way of communicating. One quickly knows exactly what he is saying, and it’s quite credible.

  11. I like how these two military gentlemen talk, very straightforward, very much on point and to the point at hand. My respect for them has grown just watching the video.

    2. @WhatDid YouSay I’m not in your country. I’m a foreigner in a foreign country. I accept I may not know many things, and I accept being informed by someone. I DO NOT accept being insulted. So if you want to be a dickhead, go scream at your mother for raising you wrong. And I didn’t force you to read my comment, you did that all on your own, so “hurray” for you, you have zero manners but you can at least know how to be rude in writing. Congratulations.

    3. @Kelly Skinner there’s no secret government but we are never told the truth in the media. like Denzel said in training day, that movie with Ethan hawk, this is a news paper its 95% b/s but I read it because it’s entertaining. i think he Sid 95% maybe he said 90% but the points been made.

    4. @Pumba Pig are you saying those two have stakes in military companies? so did the entire bush administration and they made even more after the Iraq war.

  12. The General is absolutely right when he says “Ukraine is not going to back down, Ukrainians are hard, Ukrainians are tough and most of all they’re free and they will continue to be free. Ukraine will take the fight to the Russians.” I’m Ukrainian and I know my people, they have suffered long enough under Russian oppression. My parents suffered under the iron fisted rule of Stalin, his mass starvation campaign, his destruction of everything Ukrainian, culture, language, identity. We will put an end to this senseless brutality towards our people once and for all…failure is not an option. Glory to Ukraine.

    1. Amen to that !surprised the general mentioned peace talks . Putin is not the type of person to listen ,the talking unfortunately will have to be done on the battlefield and freedom is worth paying for in rising gas prices etc ,I have no problem with that to see Ukraine free.Love from U.K. Russia can talk when they have gone home, They need to pay for rebuilding Ukraine so that needs talking about.

    2. Fk Ukraine and Russia they are not worth the destruction of the world. Putin should be abducted and tried for instigating World war because of his’ really dumb idea to expand the largest country on Earth. Russia only has half of America’s population. Putin is crazy. In the end Mongolia, China and India will expand into Russia.

  13. You know, as time goes on and I see the nations beginning to work together to bring justice and peace, I find myself less and less troubled and panicked.

    We all need hope, so, so much. May the Father continue to strengthen Ukraine, and may he bless the nations who have been with Ukraine through this.

  14. “We will be #1, 5 years for now, 10 years from now, 50 years for now” – Milley, spoken like a true General💪🏽

    1. “I’ll be POTUS #1, 5 years for now, 10 years from now, 50 years for now!” Joe Biden spoke like a true Democrat!🤪Go Brandon Go, Rule-based nation needs you!

  15. Thank you Sirs for the update. I’d like to extend my Condolences to the families of the 2 Polish men who died. I hope they will find some peace.

  16. It is a possibility it was a Ukrainian missile, however probability of it being a Russian missile is greater. The co-ordinates of the strike are located at a point that equals the longitude of Kyiv and latitude of Liviv. Ukrainians has ground to air missiles that self destruct in the air if they don’t hit their targets. So a weapon in Ukrainian would have to A miss it’s target and then B fail to self destruct and the C land in an area with extremely suspicious co-ordinates. As opposed to Russia who would just have to mistakenly type in the longitude of Kyiv and the latitude of Lyiv on one of there ground to ground missiles… so although probable it’s a slap in the face to statistical probability
