Newsweek: Zelensky Accused of Trying to Start World War III Over Missile Strike 

Several social media users accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of attempting to lead the world into a new war over a missile strike that hit Poland and left two individuals dead.

"UKRAINE tried to start WW3 yesterday when a UKRAINIAN missile struck a NATO country and killed innocent civilians. Ukrainian leaders LIED and BLAMED RUSSIA. The AP wrote it up unquestioningly," conservative commentator Benny Johnson wrote on Twitter. "Ukrainian Leaders LIED to try and initiate full-blown WW3. These are the facts." 

The tweet comes shortly after there were reports that a "Russian-made" missile struck Polish territory near the area of Przewodow. Following the reports, Zelensky said that it was a "really significant escalation" amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

Update: Poland Missile Attack Triggers Surprise Clash as Blame Game Spirals (Daily Beast)  

WNU Editor: Ukraine President Zelensky is not trying to start World War III over this missile strike. But he does want more aid and direct involvement from the West. 

But if he wants more aid he should stop claiming that yesterday's missile strike was not caused by a Ukrainian missile .... Zelenskyy doubles down and pushes back on Western assessments that a Ukrainian missile killed 2 in Poland (Insider). More here .... Zelensky insists missile that hit Poland was not Ukrainian (The Hill). Pushing this narrative after NATO said it was not a Russian missile is making him look desperate, and in turn it is making some people in the West nervous.

I looked at the crater from the supposed s-300 missile and it's much too big for that. It looks like 500-750 pound bomb or cruise missile hit the ground in Poland

This entitled, aggro, muscle-shirted hot-head is not making me concerned. He is making me angry.

This war was completely avoidable. Russia has had violent designs on Ukraine for years. (Invaded Crimea in 2014.) But was not able actually engage in these adventures with oil at $25-$35 per barrel. The money wasn't there.

When Biden came in and restricted, re-regulated, reduced and punished US oil output, it increased the global price bbl to $80 per. That gave Russia the money to raise the black flag. And pushing out a steady stream of anti-fossil fuel rhetoric has kept the energy futures markets in an upward spiral. (AKA no further investment)

The Biden admin is THE catalyst and cause of the mess we have now. $5/gallon gas, 8% inflation, no southern border and a ground war in eastern Europe.

And it all came down in the first week of his *residency.

Are you still there? Are you staying on the ground for the investigation as Zelensky demanded? Try to talk Nato, the Poles, and the US into seeing it your way.

When you blame Biden, you mean Obama, right? He's the puppet master. Biden couldn't wipe his ass with bath towel.

Just sunk cost fallacy (or not fallacy) alone means that the USSR and US will eventually come to blows.

I hope it was worth it WNU

"When you blame Biden, you mean Obama, right"

You know that Biden is plumb tuckered out from the ASEAN and G20 meetings and associated jet travel. Would anyone be shocked, if he took 3 and 4 day weekends from now until New Years? He'll either take Thanksgiving week of or show up and only work 1 1/2 days at the beginning of the week.

If a crisis happens over Thanksgiving week, while Joe is recuperating, Dr. Morell will be standing by with syringe filled with uppers.

Must be hard to properly dose a soon to be octogenarian.

A full scale Russian invasion makes Putin and Russia responsible. Stop making totally dumb statements about this or that American president as being responsible for what Putin has and is doing. Trump would have licked Putin's dick

No one said Biden started the war although you could legitimately argue that he invited war. No, what people said explicitly said is that Biden is not up to the task and that is why you started frothing at the mouth. Now buzz off and look up your usual 3 batches of ____.
