       The missile that fell on a Polish village seems to have been an accident. That doesn't erase Russia's ongoing responsibility for the millions of people suffering because of a stupid and brutal war: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/11/missile-explosion-poland-russia/672134/

       The missile could have had more serious consequences, but not for moral reasons: The incident in Przewodów was no more cruel, no more pointless, no more unjustified than the attacks on Dnipro, Lviv, Chernihiv, or Poltava that occurred on the same day.

       @anneapplebaum My hope is that if it was a Ukrainian missile that Ukraine will acknowledge it, acknowledge the loss of innocent life, and reemphasize that if rus wasn't illegally invading and attacking Ukraine forcing it to defend itself, the situation would never have arisen.

       @anneapplebaum There are sometimes-shit-happens accidents, and there are at-fault accidents.When I was in forensics I used fault trees to understand the causes of events. There's no such thing as a single root cause; every event has multiple causes, each of which has multiple causes, ad infinitum. But we stop tracing backward when we find an unreasonable choice.Ukraine shooting down a missile is reasonable. Russia launching it in the first place is not. Russia is responsible.
