The US/ Uk put on on Iraq without the permission of Iraq,No because Russia would be declaring a no fly zone without the permission of Ukraine. That’s the key difference.
Personally I do not understand what the nato countries are waiting for? So what ukraine is not a nato nation, what putin is doing is an act of war. Does the world just sit by and watch as he does as he pleases killing innocent people? NATO should have been doing the same thing we did with saddam, building up forces in nato countries until there are enough to confront putin directly in ukraine.
Just my opinion on this, which of course don't mean a hell of a lot, but I don't think he would use ICBM's. If he uses anything nuclear it will be smaller scale tactical against Ukraine. However the effect would probably be the same as if that won't pull the allies in nothing will and we are pathetic cowards.
Are you being sarcastic? If so, please source.If Putin uses chemical weapons? Everything I have read and heard recently indicates that the US and Ukraine were plotting and scheming to create chemical and biological weapons to use against Russia! That, as I understand it, is why Russia was forced to go into Ukraine. Well, that and Nazis.
And IMO the only real target for a nuke would be Ukraine itself. Anywhere else would be another act of war.
Would Putin nuke his prize? A good part of it is already contaminated. It's a major agricultural region.
POS:What do you think?
After some further thought, I think my opinion is that Russia began taking such measures, our response should be to compel China to firmly cut off Russia. Russia needs China but China does not need Russia. If China cut Putin off, the war would end. So, our action should be to make ongoing support for Russia extremely painful for China.
ICBM's would be an eventual thing. If Nato got involved nato airbase would get hit by cruise missiles. NATO would likely respond and hit Russian territory. If NATO ground forces looked to be getting ready to invade tactical nukes could be used to take out the ground forces outside if Ukraine as Russia is not strong enough to take on NATO. The use of smaller tactical nukes would be a tipping point in which the west might decide to take out Russia with nukes trying to kill Russian leadership. That would see Russia launching its own nukes.
Yes we invaded them, illegally Don’t really understand the point?
Antiwar:Are nuclear weapons chemical weapons?
Antiwar:
No. Nuclear reactions are very different from chemical reactions and thus are a different classification of weapon. Likewise rifles, mortars and rockets are physical weapons, not chemical ones, even though these weapons use chemical propellants to power the physical attack which harms the target.
But they are all weapons which kill and thus their uses in war are all abhotent IMO. We are quibbling about how to kill people rather than figuring out how to stop the killing.
Be well and stay alive.
Evilroddy.
The point is it does not matter who puts them up, it is the ability to enforce it and prevent escalation
But again though Ukraine are begging us to place one. If chemical weapons were used a no fly zone at the request of Ukraine wouldn’t be outrageous.
As much as I prefer not to commit to war I can't help thinking that if we don't draw the line somewhere how will a deterrent ever be achieved. If other countries see there are no consequences to using chemical weapons why wouldn't this become common place?What do you think?
I can't even imagine being responsible for these decisions. Politics aside, I will support Trudeau and other world leaders on this. In a crisis like this we must show unity and support, not use it as a political weapon. The time for that will come.....I hope.As much as I prefer not to commit to war I can't help thinking that if we don't draw the line somewhere how will a deterrent ever be achieved.

In my opinion, yes it is worth it. If we do not stand up to tyrants like putin, that is who will be running the world so the sooner we stand up to him the better in my opinion before we can't.But is it worth the price to make the rest of the world a battlefield and perhaps radioactive land that is worthless not to mention the death toll?
Sure we have nukes too but can we count on him to consider that a deterrent? He has said he won't hesitate to use them.
Were you around when we went into iraq after saddam on the strength of W's lies?It's not an act of war against us and at this point, your post is very hypocritical, since we dont just declare war on other countries and warlords that invade and destroy communities, cities, rape the women, bomb, etc. See: Africa, ME. Why is Ukraine different in your mind?
Yes.What do you think?
