No matter who fired the missile that struck inside Poland's border, "Russia bears ultimate responsibility for this incident."
Those are the words of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin during a press conference on Wednesday, and he is right on. He added that, should the missile turn out to be an off-course Ukrainian defense weapon, "Ukraine has a bedrock right to defend itself."
Indeed. This week's Russian terrorist barrage of up to 100 missiles aimed at civilian targets across Ukraine — mostly trying to knock out the civilian power grid as winter advances — is a war crime. Vladimir Putin is trying to freeze Ukraine's citizens into pressing its government to surrender. Not a chance. They know they are battling a genocidal Russian regime for their very survival.
