NATO aircraft were scrambled Thursday overnight as Russian drones and missiles again struck targets inside Ukraine, reaching as far west as the Khmelnytskyi region less than 200 miles from the Polish border.

"Polish and allied aircraft" took to the skies above southeastern Poland as Russian ballistic missiles and Shahed attack drones targeted Ukrainian cities, per a report by Warsaw's Armed Forces Operational Command.

"This is another very busy night for the entire air defense system in Poland due to the observed activity of long-range aviation of the Russian Federation carrying out strikes using cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles of the Shahed type against objects located, among others, in the western territory of Ukraine," the command wrote on X—formerly known as Twitter—just before 2 a.m. local time, warning residents of increased noise levels due to the allied flights.

Let’s see. How many times can you poke the bear before he finally gets really pissed off? US missile lobbing into Russia? Cut off funds and give them to Ukraine? A ten year pact with Ukraine? More old F-16s? Etc. What is the next poke in the eye provocation for the war mongers?

“What is the next poke in the eye provocation for the war mongers?”

How about some mothballed BGM-109Gs? And a couple with W-80 warheads in overwatch deployed in the Baltics, Poland and Romania?

Oh, the US would NEVER do to Russia what Russia’s already done to the US. That would disrupt the global detente -that Putin thoroughly eviscerated by his invasion UKR.

Go cry to Zhukov and Konev they have millions of soldiers and tanks waiting to roll to the Channel.
