A blast in eastern Poland rattled the international community this week, as many world leaders were gathered to meet at the G20 summit. The explosion, which both NATO and Poland now say was likely unintentional, hit a grain silo in the border town of Przewodow the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 15.

News of the explosion, which coincided with a Russian missile attack across Ukraine, quickly stirred up fears that the conflict was widening in scope. Despite initial suspicion that the missile that crossed Polish borders was of Russian origin, President Andrzej Duda said on Wednesday that early findings suggest it was in fact a Ukrainian air defense missile, which entered the country by mistake.

  1. Mind Begs the Question:
    If deploying Weapons,Mercenaries
    In USA backyard (Cuba) – Not Allowed
    In Russias backyard (Ukraine) – Allowed
    Democracy,Imperialism?

    1. Nice false equivalence, Cuba was about Russian nukes in Cuba. The US does not have nukes in Ukraine. Try again comrade.

  2. Well I hope at the very least the families of the deceased were compensated with a bit more than “oops we’re sorry we killed 2 people we won’t do it again bye bye”

  3. CNN reported Ukraine air defense system was lunch the rockets which hit the tractor and killed 2 civiliat at Polish

    1. No, dum dum. It was a Ukrainian missile. Have you not read anything about how WWI was started? Specifically the U.S’s involvement into that war.

      This is the verge and makings of WW3. It doesn’t need any cheerleaders. So sit back down, eat your moms meatloaf and go back to playing COD in the basement

    2. @The Last John Wayne 87 oh John, you are so smart!!! What an incredible gift to have such an intelligent human on YouTube!

  4. but of course its russias responsibility , it would never be the english or the us or the wests fault anyway we know that from history

  5. Can you Explain how beginners can make huge profit within a short period of time? I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market, heard some guy speaking of making over $3.5M within 4months of investing $450k

    1. Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to MR. KORDUCKI for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account. Good earnings and little to no engagement at all on my part.

    2. @Ben Alex It was my first time using the website and As an investor i have to admit this company is truely professional and give legit service that I recommend for anyone who wants to start investing in Bitcoin or stock

  6. Poland is 350 miles west of Russia so how the hell does Ukraine accidentally fire Missiles 350 miles in the wrong direction?

  7. And Zelenskky was begging the US to enact article 5 and use NATO to attack Russia and start a potential World War and Nuclear Conflict. Meanwhile it was Ukraine’s air defense missiles that landed in Poland.

    1. It was still Russia’s attack on Ukraine that caused that missile to launch in defense. And would Russia ever think of apologizing to Poland under any circumstances? Nyet.

    2. @FarmerGiles “oh hey this russia attacks me first.
      So if i burn the neighbouring countries down it’s still russia’s fault”

      Good logic

  8. Air defense missiles self destruct after in air to long . Also air defense missiles wouldnt do that amount of damage and a hole as big lol they burst to thousands of fragments

  9. There was no caution taken, they ALL immediately said it was Russia that fired the missile. Admitting the truth later, doesn’t equal being cautious.
