PentagonPresSec says DOD is aware of press alleging that two Russian missiles have struck inside Poland, but does not have any information right now to corroborate the reports.

-- DOD doing the smart thing and making 1000% sure of the facts before saying anything on record

Would be very very cautious with takes getting ahead of the #Polish government btw on expected response in scale or kind.

In particular, be careful about takes regarding #ArticleV or full-scale response. Article V is not a trip wire and it's not automatic. It needs both to meet the legal criteria *and* the political criteria for entering war.

It's not clear to me yet that the technical criteria will be met here, but even if they were, the political will for hot war with R is very very very low

@Pwnallthethings . The Russian invasion of Ukraine has disrupted the economies of the NATO nations. It has caused rising fuel costs, food shortages and general chaos and suffering and expense in all of the NATO countries. It seems to me that while this is not a direct attack on NATO it is an indirect attack. At what point should an indirect attack trigger a direct NATO response?
