Well this is interesting. If a Russian attack on Kyiv were to kill a head of state of a NATO country, would NATO article 5 be invoked?

Probably. But not specifically according to the NATO charter.

If foreign heads of state walk into a war zone, they should assume all the personal risks of doing so.

I invite Rutte, Macron, Johnson and Scholz to join them.

Poland was one of the countries that invaded Iraq -- the _supreme_ international crime, aggression -- in March 2003, along with the US, UK, and Oz.

The following 3 years and 3 months ('major combat operations') saw 560 war-caused ('excess') civilian deaths per day.

At 20 days into the Russia invasion of Ukraine -- the _supreme_ international crime, aggression -- the civilian death toll is 691 -- about 35 civilians per day.

This is probably a substantial undercount of 'excess' civilian deaths per day caused by the war, so for the sake of argument we can double that number to 70 civilians per day.

So a Polish leader is going to visit a Ukraine that is suffering 70 civilian war-caused deaths per day.

But as far I know, Poland has never apologized, nor suffered any consequences for, contributing to 560 civilian war-caused deaths per day (instead of 70) in Iraq -- for about about 1,170 days (instead of 20).

How much suffering will Zelensky and the US allow Russia to inflict?

Apparently the US is the only country that can stop this madness - other than Putin and Zelenksy - but Putin hasn't gotten anything to go home with, and Zelensky is holding out for....???
