Ultimate thunderclap at the UN this Tuesday, September 23. After warning against the“Sharia establishment” in London, qualified the recognition of the state of Palestine as ” reward “ for them “Atrocities” From Hamas, denied the existence of climate change or even stretched European migration policy, Donald Trump said that the countries of the Atlantic Alliance should shoot down the Russian devices that cross their air spaces. “Yes, I think”he answered a journalist who asked him the question, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Frequent incursions
Estonia denounced last Friday the violation of its sky by three Russian mig-31, which remained a dozen minutes in the country’s airspace. For Tallinn, “Brutality” of this incursion is “Unprecedented”. His Minister of Foreign Affairs, Margus Tsahkna, summoned the Russian manager and denounced “The growing aggressiveness of Russia”. Warsaw, for its part, claims to have identified no less than 19 intrusions of Russian drones on the night of September 9 to 10. Prime Minister Donald Tusk invoked article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty for consultation with the Allies, denouncing a ” assault “ deliberate.
Washington, so far, wanted to be more measured. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had spoken of“Dangerous incidents” But not necessarily “Intentional”. Moscow ensures that it is only“Errors” or “Accidental deviations”. By openly calling for the military response, Donald Trump deviates from prudence displayed by his own diplomats. For some experts, who have notably published a platform in the newspaper The world, These Russian incursions are a “Deliberate test” NATO defenses. But crossing the line of the slaughter of Russian fighter planes would mean a change of scale, with the risk of a direct confrontation.
