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.

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.
