Poland to Russia: ‘You have been warned’ so don’t ‘whine’ if your jets are shot down in NATO airspace
Radosław Sikorski upbraids Moscow for being “incapable of living in peace” with its neighbors following a series of incursions into NATO airspace.
Russia shouldn't complain at the United Nations if its missiles or aircraft are shot down after entering NATO airspace, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski warned Moscow on Monday.
Sikorski was speaking at an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council in New York. The summit was convened after three Russian military jets entered Estonian airspace for 12 minutes on Sept. 19 before being repelled by Italian F-35s representing NATO.
"I have only one request to the Russian government: If another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission, deliberately or by mistake, and gets shot down and the wreckage falls on NATO territory, please don't come here to whine about it," Sikorski said. "You have been warned."
Not to be outdone, Sikorski sent a further barb Moscow's way in New York: "We know you don't care for international law, and you are incapable of living in peace with your neighbors. Your insane nationalism contains a lust for domination that will not cease until you realize that the age of empires is over and that your empire will not be rebuilt."
I kinda expected ww3 would be started by China instead of russian idiocracy
I assumed the USA would do something monumentally stupid.
Historically a fair assumption but the Chinese really want their turn to do stupid things internationally.
This is a given. The only question is where? Venezuela? Russia? Strait of Taiwan? West Philippines sea? Greenland? Iran? North Korea? California? There's really no telling where they'll take out their dick and start helicoptering it.
Guaranteed with the throwbacks in charge right now.
That was on the table too. But only since trump came to office in 2016.
I don't think China has that many nukes tbh.
Don't get me wrong, I don't really want 600 nukes raining down on me, but it's mostly been a US vs Russia pissing contest.
If russias army and navy is in that bad condition, i do not want to know how they are maintaining as many nukes as US with less than 1/10th of the budged
BRICS. It is China too
Why? China's not operating an expansionist military. Who would they even start it with?
Russia's been feuding with its neighbors over it's western border for... centuries.
Well firstly Tibet would probably disagree, but perhaps Taiwan, the USA, anybody in the South China Sea, on the Indian border...
China's rhetoric has been very clear for decades, further expansion is going to be pursued. Whether that's semi-peaceful like cracking down on Hong Kong, or direct invasion - it's a question of 'when', not 'if'.
Hopefully no impending major conflicts could provide them a helpful smokescreen to make moves under, while potential adversaries are tied-up and unable to project power...
Hard to say how things will go with Trump as president but Vietnam, Communist Vietnam, was well on their way to being Allies with the US over Chinese expansionist policy.
Hurr durr China bad

Reddit Brain is never more apparent than on the subject of China. Not even Iran or North Korea get as much hate, and they at least have reactionary governments deserving of serious criticism.
Westerners simply cannot accept that they reverse mortgaged away their industrial core and need to blame their largest trading partner for all their problems.
In fairness, the same shit happened with Japan and Korea in the 80s. And with Latin America in the 60s and 70s. As soon as we start importing large volumes of consumer goods from your country, the national media tells us to hate you.
