Was the story false? Because Polish government sources also strongly suggested it was Russian until a meeting with Biden, where they backpedelled hard...
As of right now, the Polish investigation is ongoing and it's never actually been confirmed that it's a Ukrainian missile. But the story's been buried.
So was the AP source not vetted and did the journalist screw up or did officials change the narrative for political reasons?
The US has not said anything more definitive than it was "probably" a Ukrainian missile...
As for the reporter being fired, feels like a scapegoating...

- reducesuffering 4y agoUnfortunately, we the people might not know the real truth for years. We have to acknowledge that there is a very real incentive for NATO to spike an attribution of Russian military missile on NATO in order to prevent escalation by popular demand. High level military officials and select diplomats will be the ones with first hand info and the ability to decide the geopolitical move on what is sent to the news.
