Poland’s most senior officials on Friday dismissed Trump’s suggestion that a major Russian drone incursion into Polish airspace could have been a mistake by Vladimir Putin’s military.

“We would also wish that the drone attack on Poland was a mistake. But it wasn’t. And we know it,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in a message posted on social media.

Polish authorities said they had recovered parts of 17 Russian-made drones, which fell without causing any injuries or major damage in the east of the country on Wednesday.

    “Not that deep”? They shouldn’t have been anywhere near the border, that’s not where the front lines are.

    And some of them were shot down, you can’t just claim it’s “not that deep” as if they just stopped by themselves.

        Oh, sorry.

        It’s just hard to assume good intentions when so many people actually excuse these actions. :/

          no for sure. i understood immediately and had like 6 downvotes and was like “oh shit i’ve put something into the world that hasn’t helped”

          i totally get how while it was clear to me what it meant how it could have immediately upset people with how many tankies around here excuse all russian imperial action as being anti imperial by a mental process i can only describe as somehow. so let me state my stances:

          1. genocide anywhere makes genocide everywhere possible
          2. russia, the usa, and china are all genocidal regimes
          3. self defense in the face of colonialism is not just reasonable, it’s necessary if we’re ever to all be free
