    Missile fired at “unknown target”

    It missed

    Failed to selfdestruct

    Hit residental building

    Military covered the incident

    Hey at least the plane didn’t crashed maybe

    This is for the people who claim Polish armed forces are strong.

      It’s pretty wild to me that people in Europe genuinely think that their armies that never saw actual combat could take on a seasoned military that’s been fighting for over three years now.

        Polish army inflated its numbers by including the Territorial Defence Force which is not only basically something akin to US National Guard but it don’t even have any equipment and support, it’s basically just light infantry.

        I mean imagine this Gwent card being made as jab on regular Polish army, and they are worse.

        They like the idea of fighting russia more than actually doing the fighting. If actually war breaks out, European will just collapse honestly.

    And somehow it’s being spun as being the fault of Russia and hands off our brave soldiers etc. etc.

    I laughed out loud when I heard that on the Polish news. Maybe next time they should use slings and rocks; that’s more up to their level.

        I thought this was a contentious claim without sufficient evidence. Are we past that now?

          I think the western narrative settled on them being Russian.

            Narrative is one thing. Firing missiles from F-16s seems like quite another

              The funniest part is that it’s also an admission that the Poles lied about this at the UN security council meeting.

                  Towards the end there. He says drones threatened residential homes insinuating that it was a drone that hit the hose. I guess he doesn’t go as far as to directly say it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyhIxX8-3A4

          I mean, there were allegedly some “Russian drones” that entered Polish airspace…whether they were actually launched by Russia is another matter. Ukraine has plenty of more or less intact Russian drones downed by EW that they can use for false flags. Also, even if they were part of one of Russia’s attack waves, it’s not hard to steer cheap, decoy drones like the Gerbera off course with electronic countermeasures. Either way the whole thing is a nothing burger because neither the Poles nor the rest of NATO are going to do anything except whine and call the Russians names.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
