There is lots of these and test there mostly as you said ADIZ it's fairly regular around Alaska Canada, it's also was come in Syria. Yes it's mostly ADIZ as you say but the it has also been more then that truth is the adzid is regarded as about the same. With the same military escort jets flying you out. These things happen on the sea lanes aswell and under it from time to time. To be honest the u.s is probably hands down the world's most prolific breaker of these rules as it basically didn't recognize them or in the cases were it does simply doesn't care. There are fairly safe not to as noone actually wants a war with the u.s by shooting at it's jets unless they believe the u.s is about to bomb them anyways.
That's alot of response to a non incident it also opens the door to Russia responding to things like u.s and NATO weapons entering there airspace. They have not chosen this option so far why escalate the trio wire for impactful reactions to what is normally regarded as a non-even?
I ask you this seriously what is the goal here?
We're does it lead and what does it gain the west?
It's not going to change the war in Ukraine that would require much different acts from the west.
It does increase the chance of kinetic war with Russia something that rhetoric aside is self evidently not a goal
If we wanted war with Russia we would infact have that war right now. Russia has also proven this line with perceived NATO aggression against Russia has been firmly drawn on there part.
do we expect Russia to simply quietly accept the west and it's alies taking any excuse they can to attack Russia quietly and with out response? Do you have a very very good idea what that will be and what it won't be?
If you don't do you think it's a good idea to go all yolo with a nuclear armed stare that is already in a war a war it by the way sees as defending itself against the very organizations you intend to attack it with? One by the way we have proven we don't want to go-to war with, well the other side may not want to escalate itself and has proven that it has also proven it will fight rather surender without one.
And what is the gain here? We enter a world were air defence systems are set to fire first ask questions later. How is that a improvment over no harm no foul?
And lastly what about ligimet accents emergencys they do happen what does pushing this envelope do there raidar can't tell intent and frankly mistakes can start wars. There is a very good reason why this should be has been and I'm sure will be ignored. The only difference between this and the norm is some people in politics and media wanted to look tough and said some things they know are actually stupid. This by the way is also normal and periodically effective is making all kinds of bad situationions worse
