COPENHAGEN, Denmark — The Danish government summoned Russia’ s ambassador on Tuesday after a Russian fighter jet violated the airspace over Denmark’s Baltic Sea island of Bornholm last week.

“It is absolutely crucial that everyone — including Russia — adheres to the basic rules of the game and international principles,” Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod said in a statement after the meeting. “It was made clear that it must not be repeated.”

Denmark is a NATO member. In a separate statement, Gen. Jeff Harrigian, Commander of NATO’s Allied Air Command, said that Friday’s incident “demonstrates Russia’s disrespect of international norms and for the sovereign airspace of an Allied nation.”

  1. There lies the problem. Push the button! Shoot the fuckerz downe! The statement should have sounded like ‘try this again and we will fire instantly!’
