  1. >”Russia’s ever-increasing testing of borders and aggressiveness must be responded to by rapidly strengthening political and economic pressure,”

    I feel like political and economic pressure have been properly applied since at least February 2022, and it doesn’t seem to be doing much to prevent stuff like this.

  2. Putin badly wants to drag NATO into war to use an excuse why he failed in Ukraine.

  3. Maybe some AGM should mistakenly go into russian air space.

  4. So, NATO is under Russian military tests. Wake up my brothers in arms.

  5. Putin wants NATO to keep air defense for themselves instead of giving it to Ukraine.

  6. Lock down all airspace over Ukraine and elsewhere. Anything incoming gets caught in the NATO umbrella, full-stop.

  10. At this point it’s time to just shot that shit down no questions asked, Turkey did it and nothing happened

  11. So the political and military equivalent of a stern finger wag. Got it.

  12. I would be curious to know how common this is, the RAF are scrambled every other month is seems for Russian planes getting close to British airspace.

    It does feel like this is Russia testing the boundaries of what they can get away with.

  13. NATO responds by, ‘condemning in the strongest possible terms Russias aggression towards the NATO parters, blah blah’. Then sanctions. Haven’t read the article but I think this is pretty much the gist of it.

  14. Article 4 has been triggered by Estonia. Only the 9th time since NATO’s founding. This is the second time this month

  15. Shoot them down. Claim that you thought they were ufos and let Russia choose if they want to kick shit off or not. *SPOILER they will not want to kick shit off and they will be more careful like they were with Turkey

  16. Where is the kinetic sanctions? Aka shooting down Russian planes that enter NATO airspace?

  17. NATO should warn Putin that for every drone or violation of airspace that three Russian refineries would be completely destroyed.

    Defining a no-fly zone in Ukraine and for each violation, Crimea would be attacked by Ukrainians with the necessary war material provided by NATO starting with the famous bridge.

    An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth.

  18. Shoot that shit down immediately, tf are they waiting for. Gentle parenting Russia doesn’t work.

  20. Sometimes I wish NATO was even 10% as bad as the worthless vatnik hordes pretend.
    Declare that any airspace violations that clearly isn’t a genuine mistake will be seen as hostile and shoot them down if they do not clear within xx minutes.
    Lavrov can sit and shit his usual complaints all he wants. Don’t send your garbage into NATO airspace then, you cancer of a nation.

  22. Anything short of a kinetic response won’t mean shit to Russia.

  24. I wonder how they choose the pilots. Is it random? Is it a terrible one that they don’t mind loosing? Is it a good one cause these missions are risky?

  26. Just shoot them down.. Simple as that. Make Russia respond or fire something so slow that Russia could evade or destroy it easily. Say that was just a warning. Next time it is destroyed. Anything Russian that enters NATO air space. An ultimatum has to be drawn and they are not really doing it…

  27. It’s worth remembering that there have been reports that Russian inflation may be about to go through the roof. This is reported to be mainly due to interest rate manipulation not working anymore. These incidents are likely an attempt to create a larger incident to serve as a distraction.

    Just to provide a little context.

  28. The appropriate response is a fleet of nato aircraft entering and flying around Russian air space for 15 minutes.

  29. Nato is a meme. Russia will keep doing shit like this until someone has the balls to shoot them down like turkey did in 2015.

    But hey yeah lets activate art. 4 and have a nice coffee sipping session where we ’strongly condemn’ this type of behavior.

  30. GIVE THEM THE TURKISH TREATMENT!

    **WARNINGS WITHOUT ANSWERS? YOU WILL BE SHOT DOWN!**

  31. Stop this piece of s**t!!!

    What are we waiting for?

    STOP RUSSIA NOW!!!!!!

    Shoot them down. Without a warning.

  32. Would the Russians notice F22 or F35s flying over Moscow airspace? Uh, sorry guys, we got lost

  33. Just shoot their shit down the moment it reaches NATO airspace FFS. Turkey did it and Russia learned it’s lesson. Why the fuck are we not respecting our own set boundaries

  34. Russia can’t even handle Ukraine and now they’re trying to provoke everybody else? Saw they did this to Finland and man does that take some balls after the last time they went to war with Finland.

  35. Shoot them down. When the fuckers complain, say we know nothing about it. Nope, not us. Must have crashed due to incompetent pilots.

  36. Any Russian aircraft flying in nato airspace should be shot down no second thoughts. What is this overwhelmingly weak bullshit to allow them constant and consistent access to NATO airspace. What the fuck are we doing

  37. Putin is sitting in his throne and laughing his face off now! Only those countries that experienced Russian’s brutality and oppression know that they understand only force! They even have a saying that translates:
    “There’s no defense against a crowbar, unless you have another crowbar.”
    It’s a figurative way of saying that brute force can only be countered with equal brute force.

    This is how this nation has seen life and the world around them since many centuries ago.

    By the time NATO is going to understand that, it may be too late.

  38. Still too weak. You have to shoot down anything that moves from Russia into Nato immediately.

  39. The big deal is not the event, but the pattern. Consider all that has happened since Putin came to Alaska. Literally a few days later he struck a US owned factory. He’s begun training with Belarus. And then drones entering airspace. Now this.

    It’s literally the bully shoving us asking what are we gonna do about it

    And what are we gonna do about it?

  40. I save you a click. NATO response: “We will keep talking, and doing nothing”

  41. Shoot the fuckers out of the sky. Russia will bitch and whine and do nothing about it. But if you keep letting russia take inches, why would they stop?

  42. Shoot them down immediately. Putin recognizes strength only.

  43. Legit just shoot them down already. The fuck he’s gonna do? Cry that he crossed the border after the 100th warning this week.

  44. NATO is being tested by Russia bc Trump has signaled he has de facto withdrawn the US from NATO.

  45. Just so everyone knows that means Putin is INCREDIBLY vulnerable. He is trying to project strength to prevent an attack. Kinda like the dumbest person in your highschool did when he was trying to look tough.

  46. Ukraine was beating your ass so you are like, “Let’s take on NATO.”
