Trump says NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace.

CNN - President Donald Trump said Tuesday he believes NATO member countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter their airspace as the defense alliance confronts the potential for an expansion of the war in Ukraine.

“Yes, I do,” Trump said when posed a question about NATO shoot-downs during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

Wax on, wax off. Sorry we don't have anymore wax. 🤷🏻‍♂

We threw all away at the UN meeting.

Well there speaks a man with a lot of military expertise and experience… Not.

Let's summarize:

1. Shoot down Russian aircraft.
2. Don't take Tylenol... "just don't take it."
3. It feels wrong to take multiple vaccines all at once.
4. Cancel anyone who is critical.
5. Direct government investment in business is a good thing.
6. Inflation has been eliminated.
7. The air and water have never been cleaner.

@MarkPaul

Obviously we should shoot down Russian drones entering NATO airspace.

Aircraft? That's a bit dicey. Intercepting them and escorting them out of NATO airspace is a given.

But what happens if the Ruskies don't oblige?

@beckyromero We do what the colonists did during the Revolutionary War to defend the airports.

How often is this happening?

@trollslayer

Several times a week (as reported); probably more often than that.

I'm ready to bet €25 that the day Poland will actually take one down, he'll throw himself on the floor and start whining

Peace is not likely. Americans already gave Ukraine and Germany weapons to threaten Russia and yuppers! Gahead.

@Roundandroundwego

order the winner around

russia now infests less of Ukraine than in 2022.

russia's economy is circling the bowl

russian petrol stations are running out of fuel

More than a million russians have become casualties of putin's war.

russia's border with NATO has more than doubled (and russians, really, really, really don't want a bunch of armed Finns finding an excuse!)

russia has been invaded for the first time since 1942 😂 😂

@newjaninev2 Russia is winning and ukraine can't be trusted again. But the people throughout the West believe lies. They're with you! You go with that.

newjaninev2 · 56-60, F

@Roundandroundwego well then, russia doesn't have anything to worry about.
In fact, at their recent rate of progress they're expected to reach Kyiv around 2068 😂
Mind you, they'll need more donkeys - no fuel, apparently.
Speaking of which, I see the Ukrainians captured one of Russia's front-line donkeys the other day. Well, I say captured, but apparently it's refusing to take part in any sort of prisoner exchange 😀
