Reply to comment by frizzykid in Russian rocket falls in the north of Moldova by VileGecko

I would tend to agree. A missile hitting a random forest 150kms from the nearest city is not likely to be cause for a full-blown conventional strike on Russia. Especially where the missile was shot down by UA forces. However, (and I'll note Moldova is not a NATO member), striking assets near the border of Ukraine, where the neighbouring country also has important asset is a recipe for disaster.

Moldova has a damn about 10km from where the Russian missile was shot down.

There is and shouldn't be a leeway on where an explosive hits. An attack is an attack and if you brush it off as only an accident you are not only showing weakness but also giving russians room to actually hit infrastructure under the guise of some bullshit and just claim it was an accident.

France and the UK already tried an appeasment policy against Germany right before the second world war, hoping to avoid another war.

I'm against any war but there has to be a clear line with zero leeway.
