when the Ukrainian air defense shoots down a Polish agricultural tractor

While Russia is conducting a massive strategic air raid against energy sector all over Ukraine, on November 15, 2022, Polish media report explosions at the border and prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki urgently convenes the Committee of the Council of Ministers for National Security and Defense Affairs.
According to the rumor, two Russian missiles would have fallen on Polish territory. Ecstatic, Ukrainian nationalists are demanding on social networks the enforcement of NATO article 5, the outbreak a new world war.
Two deceased victims are later confirmed and a first photo is showing the aftermath of an explosion in the vicinity of a Polish village, Przewodów, a few km from the border, about 70 km north of Lviv, Ukraine

Hysteria spreads in the Baltic States, the front alongside Ukraine of the Western civilization, against the Asiatic hordes. Artis Pabriks is defense minister in Latvia. At 7:41 pm, Polish time, he writes on Twitter
my condolences to our Polish brothers in arms. Criminal Russian regime fired missiles which target not only Ukrainian civilians but also landed on NATO territory in Poland. Latvia fully stands with Polish friends and condemns this crime
Gitanas Nausėda is president of Lithuania, states at 8:20 pm
concerning news from Poland tonight on at least two explosions. Keeping a close contact with our Polish friends. Lithuania stands in strong solidarity with Poland . Every inch of NATO territory must be defended !
Last but not the least, Volodymyr Zelenskyy writes on Telegram at 9:29 pm, Polish time
moreover, today what we warned about happened a long time ago. We talked about it. Terror is not limited to our national borders. Already spread to the territory of Moldova. And today, Russian missiles hit Poland, the territory of our friendly country. People died. Please accept condolences from all Ukrainian brothers !
How many times has Ukraine said that the terrorist state will not be limited to our country ?
Poland, the Baltic states… It’s only a matter of time before Russian terror goes further. It is necessary to put the terrorist in place ! The longer Russia feels impunity, the more threats there will be to everyone who can be reached by Russian missiles.
Hitting missiles on NATO territory… This is a Russian missile attack on collective security ! This is a very significant escalation. We must act

But other pictures surface in the evening from the site. This piece is a motor fragment, a debris from a missile, that nothing but a Ukrainian S-300 air defense system may have launched

I am wondering how these officials will manage to restore their credibility among their peoples. Or have they always been clowns ? How NATO will manage that foolish situation ? Will they find a way to sustain the lie ?
