It's a nice little time for everyone to cool off and for some soft behind the scenes diplomacy, much better to buy a couple of days to think about it that act rashly in the moment.

Unsure what you are saying here, are you saying that for it to be a War you need to attack the enemies homesoil?
According to Russian propaganda TV, Russia is already being attacked on "home soil" because Ukraine are attacking Kherson. Couldn't make this stuff up.

If its Russian then NATO should act.
A cover up will just empower Putin to think NATO is spineless.
Luckily I believe NATO and countries from NATO senior leaders are sensible enough to send a well proportioned message if one needs to be sent.
No it should not.
Its one random stray missile, its not worth starting a bigger conflict based on one/two stray missiles. Now if this just happens again then we trace it back feed ukraine the intel then let them rip with something from INSIDE Ukraine. I am sure they have something waiting in the wings.

"Just as the Western observers finally got the hang of Ukrainian place names, Polish villages entered the chat."

If only Russia put as much effort in on the battlefield as they did with projection and whining about people they’re attacking shooting back, they’d have been in Kyiv months ago.
One has to assume Iran is doing pretty well out of this little war, Russia seems to be buying and using all sorts from them, kind of amusing that one of the worlds super powers is having to go cap in hand to a tiny rogue state that would normally be expected to be hiding in Russia's coat tails!
Conscript army with no belief in the cause doing badly against professional army fighting for there homeland ...... now there is a shocker.

It was not Russia who fired, but they started this war (sorry special operation) so they are to blame in my eyes but if more missiles will land in Poland this could trigger bigger conflict.

Nope. It will take an actual invasoin before NATO will act. It is the way things happen. As I mentioned earlier, American ships escorting British comvoys in WW2 were sunk and hundreds of US sailors killed but the US never declared war on Germany.
The US has satellites, and spy planes watching from Poland and in the Black Sea and will know what was fired from where
Repeated strikes of this kind of nature on a NATO country, especially with intent, won't go without a major response long. But they/we certainly aren't going to start a major escalation off one, likely unintended, incident or accident.

This is just great for Russia, all Ukraine needed to do was take the L and nobody would blame Ukraine instead they seem all too undestandably eager to try and draw Poland and by extent NATO into the conflict
It's a little bit of a farce anyway, as POLAND themselves declared they had been attacked by Russia at first. Ukraine is OBVIOUSLY trying to take advantage of every situation to free their country. I prefer them not to do such, but this is war unfortunately.

Sickening but unsurprising to see the likes of Farage using this to call Ukraine’s integrity into question.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if that numpty has been taking a pay cheque from Putarse, don't want to get into UK politics but he's been nothing but damage for the past 6 years.
Exactly. Russia may not have intentionally lobbed a missile at Poland but its hardly an accident either. It’s entirely predictable that if you throw enough missiles at Ukraine one may land in Poland or a defence missile may go astray, either way it’s irrelevant whose missile it was as its 100% the fault of Russia.

If Iranian body armour is as cutting edge as their drones, I’d not wanting to be trusting my life to it.
