@mapto about time. We should start doing the same

Legends. Don’t let Putin push you around
Finland absolutely would.
So far they don't, so "would" is not enough.
These are all about mann...sorry, orced airplanes.
But I'm not really sure what they'd do with a drone. In reality, if a drone was to fly here, it would be coming from Ukraine and going to some place around Murmansk, having veered off course because of EW, so it might make sense to just follow it and see if it gets back towards its own course. And shoot it down only if it heads for a city.
We haven't and we won't, unless the "poor lost plane" would be heading directly towards some critical infrastructure. Then it would be blown out of the sky.
Russia has been playing this stupid game of theirs for years, their plane violates our airspace and we send our F/18's to signal them to GTFO.
They play the same game with on-off GPS-interference, which is annoying but has very little real effect.
By responding to these petty provocations with lethal force would only result in a diplomatic crisis and more importantly, it would reveal the true effectiveness of our defensive capabilities. And Russia would love to learn that, for a low-low price of one Sukhoi fighter/pilot. Yeah, we're not falling for that.
Next, Germany needs to start taking down the ones spying on NATO supply routes.
Make Putin explain wtf his shit was doing in your space if he's gonna get assmad over his toys meeting their fates. This is far from new behaviour from Russia, they constantly test boundaries, drones are just the newest and cheapest method, much better than near-miss fly-bys, and 'buzzing' with their jets.
Putin is entirely gone if he thinks he can dare to sneeze in Poland's direction. They have made this VERY clear.
Asuming they know where they are launched from, send in a couple.Tomahawks.
Wasn't Poland align with Russia?
Since when? The Poles remember what the Soviet Union did to it just prior to WW2.
Even when they were doing the far-right backsliding thing, no, not really. There seems to be a lot of actual russophobia going on there, because history.
Before someone bugs me about it, no, shooting down the drones was not an example, and yes, there are plenty of reasons to not like Russia besides that. I do subscribe here after all.
No but their new president was still Russian's favorite candidate because he's ensuring political standstill by vetoing everything and using some anti Ukrainian populism.
Putin doesn't care if he's against Russia if the end result is deteriorating democracy, populism against Ukraine, and political standstill.
