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 of an incursion. and if it was a mistake, you still have to fucking do something about it

e: this has apparently conveyed the opposite of what i meant. what i'm saying is you can't claim this was a mistake when the drones were so fucking deep into sovereign polish territory. i personally think any incursion at all warrants a response given who the russian horde has shown themselves to be time after time

"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.

i wasn't claiming they weren't that deep. i was claiming they can't get that deep just by mistake

[–] sanpo@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh, sorry.

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

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 days ago

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

This is either ignorance or downplaying the seriousness of the situation. Or an even stupider third thing.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 11 points 5 days ago

it's my dialect coming across as meaning the opposite of what i meant i guess. i'm saying they were super fucking deep and you can't just play that off as a mistake

Trump’s suggestion that a major Russian drone incursion into Polish airspace could have been a mistake

Just what Putin's bitch would say.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

It could also have been a surveillance mission or a testing the response type thing. It could be a lot of things, I'm glad Putin's puppy dog immediately jumped to defend his big daddy though. What a simp.

I have autoplay disabled, how is this cheeky video playing

Trump wants all these sanctions on Russia? But then he wants to be a Putin apologist too? Fully fuckin lost it. At least Biden in his dementia had competent staff to at least make consistent policy decisions. Trump king wants all his yes men to do whatever he says, so his dementia translates directly to nonsense policy action.
