Trump should warn off Putin

Instead of complaining that Putin has let him down, Donald Trump, as leader of the western alliance, should give the Russian president the strongest warning: stop sending drones and fighter aircraft into Nato member nations or they will get shot down. Putin is just enjoying himself at the moment, with drones crossing into Poland and Romania, fighter aircraft into Estonia, and now drones over Copenhagen airport, stopping all flights. It is not yet absolutely certain that Russia is behind the Copenhagen incident, but it smacks of Putinesque tactics. He is going to continue playing these dangerous gamns with Nato until the alliance reacts with a military response. Then and only then will he back off. While Nato dithers and Trump shows no interest Putin will feel he has been given carte blnache to do what he likes to stir up trouble in the western alliance. How many more drones or fghter aircraft have to be flown into alliance airspace before someone with guts just shoots them down. This is why Trump has to deliver a warning message, an ultimatum to Putin. But at the United Nations General Assembly, Trump spent most of his address railing against Europe for failing to stop illegal immigration. This address should have been the right moment to send out his warning to Putin. The whole alliance would have applauded.
