    This isn’t much of a choice, considering Russia is responsible for both issues. If anything, it should make arming Ukraine an even bigger priority, if only to keep the pressure on Russia, so they have less resources to spend fucking around with the rest of Europe.

    We have had several Drone incidents here in Denmark, and after the first, police was quickly equipped with equipment to detect them sooner and shoot them down.
    Next drone incidents however absolutely nothing happened. Except closing the airport again.
    The reason is that it is illegal to shoot them down in peace time, if they are near anything civilian, and in little Denmark it’s basically impossible to not be near something civilian.
    So the article is based on a false dichotomy that doesn’t really exist. We absolutely have the equipment to shoot them down already. Especially if we allow the military to do it.
    The basis for this article is exactly what Russian propaganda is trying to do, raise opposition to help Ukraine, under the guise that helping Ukraine is harmful to ourselves.
    Poland already has shut down drones that flew into Polish territory. Every single European country can do the same, all they have to do is make the decision to do it.
