Reply to comment by tobsn in Associated Press reporter fired over erroneous story on Russian attack by Moynamama

Russia is staging missiles out of Belarus and the Black Sea to target stuff in Western Ukraine. The issue here isn't that the Russians couldn't have hit into Poland but that they jumped the gun on ascribing blame in what's already an insanely tense scenario.

Well, the blame's correctly ascribed, it's Russia's fault that any missiles are flying at all.

Oh for sure, Russia is still ultimately to blame for both the war in general and their own reckless shooting near the border making spillover inevitable eventually. There wouldn't be any air defense missiles landing in Polish fields if they didn't need to be fired to begin with.
