Radosław Sikorski upbraids Moscow for being “incapable of living in peace” with its neighbors following a series of incursions into NATO airspace.
Russia shouldn’t complain at the United Nations if its missiles or aircraft are shot down after entering NATO airspace, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski warned Moscow on Monday.
Sikorski was speaking at an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council in New York. The summit was convened after three Russian military jets entered Estonian airspace for 12 minutes on Sept. 19 before being repelled by Italian F-35s representing NATO.
“I have only one request to the Russian government: If another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission, deliberately or by mistake, and gets shot down and the wreckage falls on NATO territory, please don’t come here to whine about it,” Sikorski said. “You have been warned.”
Not to be outdone, Sikorski sent a further barb Moscow’s way in New York: “We know you don’t care for international law, and you are incapable of living in peace with your neighbors. Your insane nationalism contains a lust for domination that will not cease until you realize that the age of empires is over and that your empire will not be rebuilt.”
That really goes without saying. Turkey shut down a Russian jet that was fucking around. That is the only way they will learn. They are jetting around like they are the baddest mother fuckers in the air while their equipment is pretty lame.
Less talk and more action please.
NATO member Turkey shot down a Russian jet some years ago, and the planet didn’t perish in a nuclear war, so we know we can do that.
The Russians claimed they have not been over NATO territory. If they come again, shoot them down and look where they land. Case closed.
The Russians claimed they have not been over NATO territory.
Only because they believe it should be their territory.
Debris from plains that are shot down don’t land directly below where they were shot down.
This. And it is not really predictable where they go, depends on which parts get damaged and how
Good for Poland. I’m tired of these Putinganda-fuckers “accidently” sending incursions into their neighbours’ territories
More words, to be followed by more incursions without action. We should have started shooting down Russian air-junk right from the first invasion in 2014. Historians will not be kind about floppy dicked Europe/NATO after it’s too late….
Without action? Come on. Drones went over Poland, shot down. Poland isn’t really holding back, but it can’t charge blindy either.
Nah, Poland is the one nation in Europe that’s itching for a fight with Moscow. They’ve just been holding back.
They’re ready to send troops to the frontlines of Ukraine last I heard.
I am also sick of the inaction. I hope they are a real warning and not more words.
I really like this line though and I will be repeating it to anyone who is listening, “incapable of living in peace”.
Vlad. Vlad. Don’t be bad. Putin. Putin. Stop that shootin’.
Fyi Vlad isn’t the diminutive of Vladimir. Vladimir is “shortened” to Vova or Volodya. Vlad is short for Vladislov.
Well, makes at least as much sense as James being shortened to Jim
And Richard is obviously Dick
And Robert is Bob.
Margaret as Peggy always blew my mind. Or Elizabeth as Buffy.
Elizabeth the vampire slayer?
I wear the Royal Cheese. It does not wear me.
I thought that Vladimir got shortened to Dimi. Or is that pejorative?
Dimi is shortened from Dimitri.
Is this why Russian literature never makes any damn sense to me?
