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.”
Can’t wait for the vatniks to whine and bitch about this.
“Okay but how would you feel if all of your neighbors joined a hostile alliance just because you spent the last 300 years constantly trying to conquer them by force and refuse to stop now? Did you ever think about it from Russia’s perspective?”
-some dumbfuck tankie “leftist”
As we know, no European country has tried to conquer Russia in the past 300 years.
Napoleon was just trying to liberate the orcs from the Czar or whatever the line is now
I hope they’re not using fucking Napoleon to justify their invasion of Ukraine lmao
“they cook food in water over there what the fuck”
“They do in all of Europe as well(???)”
“Oh my god y’all using soup as a justification for invasion?”
Deadass y’all need to get literate
The number of layers of irony are beyond me
You and I both know that the number of times Russia has been invade by their neighbors pales in comparison to the number of times they’ve occupied or colonized their neighbors. Napoleon alone won’t do it. Obviously there was also Germany after the Great Red Brown Alliance carved up eastern Europe into colonies and the USSR ignored the allies’ repeated warnings that Germany was going to invade them. Doesn’t justify 300 years of ruthless Russian attempted conquest in literally every direction.
wow, that’s the hardest gymnastics i read all day, and i’ve read some pretty bad far-right punditry today.
Because opposing fascist Russia is “far right” lol
When you definitely know what fascism is.
Oh, so you are critiquing your friends.
^ how to spot a redditor
and the USSR ignored the allies’ repeated warnings that Germany was going to invade them
LMAO
Westerners really are the most propagandized people on earth
The USSR spent the decade before WWII trying to get the west to form an anti-Nazi coalition, but the west was too busy doing copious amounts of trade with the Nazis and signing treaties to do so. Even during the war, the west cloaked how much trade they were still doing, in the case of companies like Ford and Coke.
Clearly a long con by Ukrainians to let themselves be captured and “converted” and conscripted in order to false flag and make Mother Russia look bad
nah. yall the ones complaining about it when russia retaliates.
Hey, it’s dumbfuck tankie!
hi, it’s smartass lib!
Aw the authoritarian thinks they have a point.
Suck Putin off again to stay off the front lines.
You are literally ruled by a king and live on colonized land dude.
Yeah, and? It’s not like Russia is clean of that sin.
Hell they are engaged in imperialism as we speak.
Do you all have CO poisoning?
And whining and accusing others of authoritarianism while living under hereditary monarchy is the level of clownery only brainwashed westoids can achieve. Also believe it or not but not every single country on earth needs to be an ethnically “pure” ethnostate just to avoid being called “imperialist” by concern trolling colonizers.
Tired of seeing all this censorship. I’m looking forward to when more lemmy communities sprout up that allow people to say what they want.
You really think comments like the removed one you replied to have any value?
If I don’t like what he’s saying, then I can block him myself.
I don’t want people like you getting to decide what I get to see.
“people like you”?
Yep.
Russia retaliates for countries retaliating for Russia’s incursions into another countries.
yup. reaping what was sowed.
Do you mean shooting down shit? Because yeah but Russia could just stop with the bs, no need to get some pilots killed over it
ask the army specifically founded to harass them to do the same and they might stop. or not. the cat’s out of the bag now, as you guys wanted.
I haven’t heard about Polish army constantly venturing into Russian airspace but if they’re doing that then yeah what a waste of lives.
yeah, it is pretty awful indeed.
Poland’s dream to going into space is closer than ever.
Broadly speaking, I don’t think folks should rush to shoot down planes. Accidents happen. But it’s naive to think these recent incursions have been accidents, especially considering how the war has everyone at a heightened state of vigilance. These aren’t casual flights, Putin is probing for weakness.
Well either it’s delibrate action by Russia which means fire away or they’re laughably incompetent, accidentally flying into everyone else’s airspace.
Deliberate. And under the circumstances I’m not opposed to Poland defending their airspace against Russia. Drawing a hardline in the sand is the only way to stop people like Putin.
Poland’s final warning!
