OTTAWA, Ont. — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy renewed his plea to the world Tuesday to act quickly to shield its citizens from Russian rockets and bombs that are devastating his country. In an 11-minute virtual address to Canada’s Parliament, Zelenskyy spoke of mounting civilian casualties in Ukraine, including 97 children, as he challenged allies to close the country’s airspace. “It’s their attempt to annihilate Ukrainian people and there is nothing else to it,” Zelenskyy said through an interpreter to hundreds of Canadian lawmakers who packed the House of Commons. “It’s an attempt to destroy everything that we as Ukrainians do. It’s an attempt to destroy our future, to destroy our nation, our character.”


I imagine the message will be similar when Zelenskyy addresses both houses of the US Congress by Zoom tomorrow (March 16).

p.s. Yesterday the USS Forrest Sherman (DDG 98) arrived in Stockholm, Sweden.

Biden made it clear that a No Fly Zone is not an option in dealing with Putin. A No Fly Zone could potentially trigger WW III, so the stakes are simply too high.

Even if Congress voted to impose a No Fly Zone over Ukraine, Biden would be compelled to veto it.

And yet Biden cannot articulate the qualitative difference between 7,000 US Javelin's and 28 older MiG-29 fighters.

A no fly zone means World War Three.

It’s a TERRIBLE idea, but I suppose he had to ask.
