Trump says NATO should down Russian planes if they breach its airspace
TVP World ^ | 9/23/2025 | Reuters

Posted on 09/23/2025 11:02:31 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter NATO territory, shortly after nations in the Western military alliance condemned Moscow for violating Estonian airspace.

"Yes I do," Trump told reporters when asked about whether he would support such moves.

Trump made the comments to reporters before a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

Notice how evil the "journalists" are...

Reporter asks: "Mr President, do you support NATO countries shooting down Russian aircraft in their airspace?"

President Trump: "Yes I do."

HEADLINE: "
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter NATO territory!!
"

Altering the statement from "would you support" to "we should do it!" within a space of just 3 words.

If I flew a combat airplane or any other for that matter, into your airspace I would expect to be shot down.

If I came into your house uninvited I’d expect to be shot.

All the same.

What Trump did today at the UN was to call for a return to world order. Stay in your lane, dont’ take advantage of US or others, don’t be stupid.

Vlad has openly threatened to use nukes so there’s no reason why DJT souldn’t make this threat.

Would be a happy outcome if Putin stops these incursions because of Trump’s words.

How is this a bad day for Putin enthusiasts lol, he’s stating the historical, universally accepted position on such issues, it’s not a shocker.

Probably not. I might stand corrected, but to my knowledge, they have never overflown US territory, or coastal airspace.

We have conservatively overflown theirs at least 10k times since 1950. And it’s a cornucopia, high flying U-2s, British Canberras deep from Germany into the Saratov region, B-47 bombers over the pole. Over Vladivostok, C-47 cargo planes dropping Bandera organization saboteurs into Ukraine in the 1950s for the Ghelen Organization. You name it, we have done it.

Can anyone imagine a Soviet bomber flying along over Denver, or crossing the Nevada test site? So I doubt Putin will send any planes to overfly America, they never have before. Even as the Soviets.

He posted it because it’s a news story about President Trump.

Do people make fun of your name here?

The reciprocal is also true.

YEs, I picked up on that as well. Throw in a loaded question just to produce the desired headline.

MarkyMax probably lit up a cigarette after posting that.
