Trump Vows Defense of NATO Allies After Repeated Russian Airspace Violations
Washington D.C. – In a strong show of support for NATO allies,former President Donald Trump has affirmed he would defend Baltic states and Poland should Russia escalate its aggressive behavior.The pledge came in response to a reporter’s question on Sunday, to which Trump responded with a resolute, “Yes, I would. I would.”
This commitment was echoed by the new U.S.Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike waltz, who stated on Monday during an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council that the “USA would defend every centimeter of NATO territory.” Ambassador Waltz urged Russia to cease its “dangerous behavior” instantly.
The assurances follow a series of concerning incidents involving Russian military activity near NATO airspace. Recent reports confirm Russian drones penetrated the airspace of both Poland and Romania. Furthermore, the Estonian government reported on Friday that three Russian fighter jets violated Estonian airspace for approximately twelve minutes. According to the Estonian Foreign Ministry,these jets were operating without flight plans and had disabled their transponders – standard practise intended to obscure their identification and intentions.
These repeated airspace violations have heightened tensions and prompted increased vigilance among NATO members. Poland has placed its air defenses on high alert, and estonia has initiated consultations under Article 4 of the NATO treaty, which allows for discussions when a member feels threatened.
The situation underscores a growing pattern of Russian probing and potential escalation, raising serious questions
