Good question, don’t think anyone is going to find out that answer.

Is it really needed at this point?

Even if such an incident were to occur, whether organically or fabricated, there's no guarantee the US/NATO wouldn't just downplay and/or try to cover it up to avoid a catastrophic escalation. Heck, there's even a not-insignificant chance that's what happened the other day in Poland.

I could just as easily believe that Ukraine staged a psy-op with the rocket into Poland to cultivate support as I could that Russia did it as agent-provocateur's per Putin's M.O. - the same as ordering fighters to fly over Alaska on purpose and then fly away.

Wishful thinking? Or kernel of truth?

Maybe this time he should flip guys over with a hockey stick while riding that horse at the same time? Do all of it in one action this time to really sell it!

If Putin turns out to be wearing a colostomy bag, we'll finally know where that creep Peskov's been hiding all this time.

Jump 25 minutes in if you wanted to see Zelensky address both houses of U.S. Congress.

Russians civilians are taking up arms against their soldiers making the way for more of a civil uprising. It makes me feel more and more like unless China emboldens Putin dies at the end of this Putin manufactured conflict.

For sure, especially if he officially declares war and announces a mobilization in his upcoming speech. And China will never embolden him, this conflict is bad for their business.

With the continued pressure on Taiwan acting like it's apart of it as Putin sees Ukraine as apart of Russia when it's not. Coupled with the series of spy balloons it's luke muscle flexing.

Xi reaks of desperation caught in the middle. This diplomacy ploy will likely be used against Ukrainian suppliers when the nothing statement is called out.

The people have spoken. No more wars, no more US taxpayer money going to Ukraine.

Imagine that, the left and right finally agreeing on something.

It takes a common enemy to unite the peasants. It always has. Point your peasants against each other when you need destabilization and then point them at an outside enemy when you need focus and unity. There are always lots of peasants across any given nation. It's just the stratification of development across all societies - it's just true.
