Uh-oh.......Latvia is a nato state. If Russia is flying drones into Latvia knowingly, that would be a violation of nato airspace. If the drone had fired weapons, that would be the spark that lights the fuse. Putin better think reeeeaaaal fucking hard on if he wants to start a second war. Like....REAL fuckin hard.

I would like to see NATO countries, particularly Poland, start shooting any hostile vehicle entering range of their air defenses. Not just things heading to their country specifically, anything in range. This isn't the first time Russia sent shit into other countries this war, and it certainly won't be the last.
