Yeah. In retrospect, it always seems pretty stupid that we thought we could just resolve things with diplomacy and the rabid dog hanging around the building will probably just calm down and stay in the back section and we just won't go there.
I feel like escalating to war because that's clearly what's up, and whatever happens happens, oh well, is one of the few areas where Churchill had it 100% right in the lead up to the global war.
but maybe appeasement will work this time!!!

Turkey did it and look what happened to them!
Their airspace was not violated again.
Actually it was. But in much lesser ways.
Russia doesn't seem like the kind of country that learns lessons like that. They're more like the kind thats looking for reasons to start more wars.
Nah, Russia actually respects force because it’s one of the few languages they truly do understand. Putin flexes his power to see how much he can get away with, and only really backs down when others start flexing too. Turkey unflinchingly shot down two Russian fighter jets that entered their airspace. That was a decade ago, and Turkey hasn’t had an issue with them since.
Worked pretty well for turkey, they shot down 2 russian fighter jets, resulting in the death of 1 pilot. Russia did not violate their airspace again.
The russia does not learn, you have to force them.
Start shooting them down
More and more it seems like the plan is for Trump to keep Canada, Mexico, and the EU busy to leave Eastern Europe defenseless against Cum Daddy Putin can
Shoot them down, it won’t happen again.
