Nato states should shoot down intruding Russian jets, says Mark Rutte

1. Nato’s secretary-general has said member states should shoot down intruding Russian aircraft “if so necessary” after President Trump encouraged allies to respond to incursions with force.

   Mark Rutte, speaking during a trip to Washington after a flurry of incidents where drones and jets flew over Nato airspace, said he “totally agreed” with Trump’s message.

   The alliance’s armed forces had enough practice and training to determine whether each encroaching aircraft should be treated as a serious threat and neutralised or regarded as a provocation and ushered back across the border, he added

2. Russia is 95% going to intrude into Estonian airspace, buy only above the Russian-speaking Narva region.

   They are going to dare NATO or Estonia to shoot down their intruding aircraft and if they

   1) don’t – “haha, look how weak NATO is, they won’t even defend themselves” or if they

   2) do – “We didn’t do anything , look at how NATO is blantantly attcking us. We will not escalate, but we *could*, but it would totally be nuclear, *but* we are so magnanimous, we won’t retaliate. See how reasonable we are! NATO wants a fight and we’re not giving it to them!”
