Several days ago Ukraine lobbed one (or possibly) several missile into Poland which, if done on purpose, may constitute an invasion, but Poland thus far seems to believe it to be an isolated incident and likely accidental. But I bow to Jampie’s expertise that they had to have had their system set on ‘surface to surface mode’ for that to have happened, so maybe he’s right to imply that Ukraine did it on purpose.
So it would be OK for Scotland to unilaterally hold a referendum, and if it was in favour of leaving the UK (though some would probably ignore it as invalid) it would be OK for Sturgeon to invite the EU to invade the UK? Though I have some sympathy with Scots who don’t want to be ruled from Westminster, that’s no excuse whatsoever for starting a war.
