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.

Sounds fair to me.
I’d expect NATO planes to shot be down violating Russian airspace.
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.
A bad day so far for the Putin advocates.
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.
Will Putin test this over the US ?LOL
That is what Mucous wants people to believe and why he posted it. LOL
Every country has the right to do that.
What do you think about it?
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.
More bad news for Putin.
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?
Good!
So much for the guy who promised to stop the endless foreign wars.
Stating the obvious.
The reciprocal is also true.
i would very much enjoy seeing estonia or poland shoot down some drones
i rather see 600,000 chinese students being murdered before they set foot in the usa but i’ll take anything at this point.
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.
