NATO member Estonia says an Mi-8 Hip helicopter belonging to the Russian Border Guard intruded into its airspace for about two minutes on Saturday night.

Russian warplanes fly through Lithuania’s airspace every week, its MoD said. Like the intrusion into Estonia, they usually have no pre-filed flight plans and transponders that are switched off.
Last week there were eight violations, ERR reported and 13 the previous week.

Russian naval vessels are also apparently causing problems. The Russian ambassador to Denmark was summoned to the Danish foreign ministry on Friday after a Russian military vessel twice violated that NATO country’s territorial waters off the Baltic island of Bornholm, the Associated Press reported.

Neocons want WWIII.
It won’t be over til its over over there.
Somebody looking for a Gulf of Tonkin event?
Once. Just once.
Russia violates NATO airspace and you blame neocons?
I think you’re unclear on who is violating whose airspace.
If an Estonian passenger aircraft did this to Russia they’d shoot it down and then lie about it in perpetuity.

WWIII/WWIV is gonna be so much fun
A Great Reset....
If Congress rubber stamps a NATO led war against Russia.
It’ll be interesting how military moms & dads feel about losing their loved ones over Estonia, Lithuania, Moldova, etc.
My prediction is it’ll be a “tough sell.”
I never believed for one second that a 747 could be mistaken for an RC-135 Cobra Ball
WWIII/WWIV is gonna be so much fun

We have kooks and crazy people running our foreign policy.
Yeah its always george soros fault.
Yep kal 007
I think you believe Estonia.
Weakness invited aggression
And it can also overreact in response
You read something online and believe it’s true?
NATO is looking for war.
“Neocons want WWIII.”
Russia intrudes upon and violates NATO airspace and territorial waters — not once, but repeatedly — and you blame the West? You must, because the pro-Russia posters here on FR only apply the epithet “Neocon” to the West, just as they only apply the slander “Nazi” against the West, even though Russia has its share of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers.
Isn’t that curious?
No, it isn’t curious. NATO is looking for a war and I think the news is BS.
Russia stands nothing to gain by picking a fight with NATO.
They know they would get crushed.
“It’ll be interesting how military moms & dads feel about losing their loved ones over Estonia, Lithuania, Moldova, etc.”
I’d imagine about the same number who lost loved ones over Britain, and France, and Poland, and Czechoslovakia, and Italy, and Belgium, and the Netherlands, etc.
