       @benroyce it would certainly be a powerful statement if a NATO ally shot down those places instead of Estonia. Just in case Putin forgot that NATO is an international agreement. "They're welcome, You're not"

       @benroyce @craignicol Turkey's F-16s shot down the SU-24M within seconds of entering its airspace. I think taking a don't fuck with us position is important with Putin. Just like if a shark bumps you, punching it hard lets it know you are big and not lunch.

       @RegGuy @benroyce @craignicol I'm glad your shark fighting experience comes in handy as a metaphor here.

       @snarkweek @benroyce @craignicol Twas my brother-in-law, he was a diver and did barnacle removal on ships while they were in deep water. Sharks liked to come by and check them out. He said one punch they moved on. Leave them alone after a bump, you might get a bite and have to surface and get a new suit.
