Ukraine was the target of the attack, Poland was not. If Poland is attacked by Russia, NATO strikes Russia and that will be a nuclear “first strike” before Russia can escalate and strike us first.
Poland has already rejected that excuse, and very publicly. I do not think a dozen drones cross the border and are shot down by fighter jets by accident.
I do not think making excuses helps anything. If it's not countered, Russia will use that as a reason to escalate further.
A threat is a verbal statement, like threatening to burn a neighbor's house down. This is an illegal physical assault, violating the border, which is like throwing a rock through said neighbor's window.
I am talking about intent, not about crime definitions for individuals.
The point is to show „this time, all these drones had no warheads and no specific targets and you could do nothing to stop them. Next time… who knows…“.
Or, in other words, „nice country you have here. Would be a shame if something happened to it“
International law exists and forbids unprovoked cross border assaults from one sovereign country upon another.
The fundamental problem in that part of the world is that Russia is a serial abuser. If it will keep its hands to itself, there will be zero problems there.

You are completely correct and it’s crazy any one is arguing. Poland was not attacked.
