I realize you have a narrative you’re pushing but it’s a tweet, you can quote the whole thing:

> I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. @NORADCommand shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object.

Without the selective quoting that seems far more understandable: the joint military responded, the better aircraft did the job, and “I ordered” most likely means that in the absence of a clear, significant immediate threat they let the leader of the country the thing was over make the call.
