Europeans will shoot down a Russian fighter jet that violated their border! Do you believe this fantasy?
Even when a Turkish pilot shot down a Russian bomber, the Europeans were so afraid of Putin's wrath that, in the midst of the conflict, they withdrew their Patriots from Turkey's eastern border and fled in terror.
When Turkey made its request, "formidable" NATO mumbled something unintelligible.
That's when it all became clear! That was 10 years ago.
Today, the US is no longer with Europe. And without the US, what kind of NATO is there?! With their "gender equality" and other "values," the Europeans have reached such absurdities that they appoint pregnant women as defense ministers instead of combat generals, as if there was no difference between them.
Rasmussen, Stoltenberg, Rutte—wonderful people. But I don't think Napoleon would have trusted them with command of even a battalion
About Russia deliberately flying into other countries' airspace: I think it is time for countries to tell Russia that it is game over, from now on such intrusions will be met by deadly force. That is entirely legal in international law, law that Russia expects other countries to respect where its airspace is concerned.
Yes, the US is no longer with Europe. Personally, I am pleased that the position has been clarified. I never liked 'the west' slavishly supporting US foreign policy due to being members of NATO, itself dominated by the US.
Yes, I always wonder at governments appointing ministers that have 'no hands on experience' or specialist knowledge in the domain concerned eg a defence minister who has never served in the military or a finance minister with no deep study of economics. Whether a minister is male or female is of no importance to me. In my opinion whether well known UK prime minister Thatcher were male or female was irrelevant.
As to generals having a say in a country's foreign policy, I think not. Same the other way round to me - politicians should not decide how battles are fought.
