Russian airspace violations demand immediate military response. Shooting down intruding aircraft isn't escalation — it's necessary deterrence that reinforces red lines and prevents further provocations. Cold War history proves both superpowers shot down intruders without triggering broader conflict, and Putin only respects force, as Turkey's 2015 shootdown demonstrated.
NATO's relentless eastward expansion and military buildup genuinely prepares for war, not defense. Poland purchasing 1,000 tanks and 32 F-35s, Germany rebuilding military power, and infrastructure construction near borders mirrors pre-World War II aggression. Western powers encircled Russia after promising otherwise, provoking conflict while claiming peaceful intentions.
