As the Ukraine war chugs along one NATO ally has had enough and that would be Poland.
Poland has issued a statement that it will no longer send military support to Ukraine….it did say that weapons and stuff could travel through the country to get to the war but Poland itself would cease its supply operations.
The KA-BOOM!
A missile lands in Poland and destroys a structure.
Polish experts have confirmed that the missile that killed two people at a grain facility in southern Poland in November was fired by Ukraine, Rzeczpospolita daily reported, citing sources.
The explosion of the missile in NATO-member Poland fuelled fears that the war in Ukraine could spiral into a wider conflict by triggering the alliance’s mutual defence clause, but at the time Warsaw and NATO said that they believed that it was a Ukrainian stray, easing worries about escalation.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation told Rzeczpospolita that Poland had established that the missile that landed in the village of Przewodow was an S 300 5-W-55 air-defence missile fired from Ukrainian territory.
“This rocket has a range of 75 km to 90 km,” the newspaper cited a source as saying. “At that time, the Russian positions were in a place from which no Russian missile could reach Przewodow.”
Ukraine has denied that one of its missiles had landed in Poland.

Now was this a retaliation? Was it a false flag by Russia? Or was it just a simple accident?
I am not saying one or the other but it does look a bit suspicious.
Just asking.
Another NATO ally is proposing to change their involvement in the Ukraine-Russia mash-up….Hungary.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Budapest was ending support for Kiev on international issues due to a 2017 Ukrainian law that limits the rights of Hungarians. The announcement comes as Ukraine’s support in Eastern Europe wanes, with Poland halting all weapons transfers to Kiev after President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Warsaw.
Speaking to the country’s legislature on Monday, Orbán took aim at a 2017 Ukrainian law that limits where the Hungarian language can be spoken. “They want to transform (Hungarian schools) into Ukrainian schools, and if that does not work, they want to close them,” he said. “We do not support Ukraine in any issue in the international scene until it restores the laws that guarantee the rights of Hungarians.”
This should not surprise anyone that has bothered to keep up with the news….Orban is a douche and an authoritarian so he would like Putin over the democracy offered by the West.
Finally with all this chaos in the region how will it effect the flow of US stuff into Ukraine?
Not to worry there will always be enough money for war no matter who suffers in this country.
Senate leaders on Tuesday announced they reached a deal on a stopgap funding bill that needs to be passed by September 30 to avert a partial government shutdown. The bill includes $6.2 billion for Ukraine and $6 billion for natural disasters.
“We will continue to fund the government at present levels while maintaining our commitment to Ukraine’s security and humanitarian needs, while also ensuring those impacted by natural disasters across the country begin to get the resources they need,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said.
The bill would fund the US government until November 17. The inclusion of $6.2 billion for Ukraine would ensure that the US could continue to fund the proxy war against Russia, although the Pentagon has said Ukraine operations would be exempted from any shutdown.

Mr. Schumer? What about the resources this country needs?
Why is Ukraine more important than Main Street?
Just asking.
And there you have the news that slips through the cracks in the MSM reporting procedures.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
And our Congress has approved a 2 billion dollar package sent to Poland to upgrade their military.
We seem to be doing that all over NATO…..at what point does this insanity stop? This country needs repairs and it is difficult when cash is flying out the door to other countries. chuq
I don’t think it will ever stop, until the U.S. crashes. And – there will be no one there to help us out, just take us over.
The possibility is there and none seem to care…..chuq
I keep coming back to the same conclusion with essentially any news cycle, the U.S. is heading towards a reckoning. A moment in time where more people reject capitalism than accept it and (hopefully) the people in government are replaced with social leaning vs. capital leaning. One can hope right?
True….but since the two major parties are basically owned by business….no time soon will we see a change. Nice to see you again….chuq
Ukraine has milked the aid for far too long without giving an account of where all the money has gone. Now they are beginning to upset their neighbours by being stubborn and ungrateful, at a time when they can least afford to do that. Zelensky has to have a re-think of his attitude, or many other countries will pull support for Ukraine.
Best wishes, Pete.
That is my thought as well….Zelensky is pressuring countries when he should be listening. chuq
Pete this is a test….can you see this? chuq
Yes, I was notified of the comment, and I can see it. Your comment on my blog came up as ‘Anonymous’.
I do not know what is going on….I have a problem on John’s blog again…it tells me that I must be logged in to comment. Is WP screwing things up again? chuq
This has been going on for some time now, chuq. It finally got to your site.
Damn! LOL chuq
Still no Spam or Trash….at least there is that. chuq
When an air defense missile doesn’t impact its target, it goes…….wherever then the hell it wants to in most cases. If I had a Ruble for every Russian rocket that landed in Russia…
That should be the official story….chuq
Let all the ignorant sons of bitches withdraw their support for Ukraine and then when Russia invades their asses we can listen to them howl and cry and plead with the rest of the world to bail them out….if it happens I hope nobody listens to any of them…if it happens, they deserve whatever they get.
Russia could not subdue Afghanistan in the 80s and Ukraine is still standing….Eastern Europe has little to worry about and the US has even less. chuq
Ukraine is a wasteland –if you call that “still standing” then alright, you are entitled to your opinion….but Russia is still standing also and that is the biggest mistake the world will ever make…. allowing them to stand.
Without them the defense industry will find a new ‘enemy’…we need them badly chuq
