So they're not going to Give Zelensky a no fly zone?
They're just going to let him die.
Leave his Country in a demolished insurgency?

Weapons, money, and sanctioning the hell out of Putin and his buddies, that's going to have to be the extent of it.So they're not going to Give Zelensky a no fly zone?

I’m not at all convinced it won’t come to that with Russia threatening to expand its “special security operation” to include any persons and facilities providing material support to Ukraine. NATO is already playing a very dangerous game. We can only hope that Putin is bluffing.How do you enforce it?
Shoot Russian planes down, then in retaliation Russia sends cruise missiles to hit European airports. Who then responds hitting Russia itself who then responds with tactical nuclear weapons. Then we all wake up to a mushroom cloud.
A no fly zone expands the war, which will in my opinion lead to a nuclear confrontation. So yes Ukraine gets sacrificed,
It is a game that has to be played. Unchecked aggression in a strategically important area has to be contested. What Russia is doing has to be opposed, both morally, and strategically, but it has to be opposed in ways that do not make things worse for those opposing Russia.I’m not at all convinced it won’t come to that with Russia threatening to expand its “special security operation” to include any persons and facilities providing material support to Ukraine.

Turkey could close the Bosphorus. Looks to me like it needs maintenance. Significant maintenance.Weapons, money, and sanctioning the hell out of Putin and his buddies, that's going to have to be the extent of it.
Unchecked aggression? The West has invaded and occupied nations for less. Ukraine was not considered strategically important enough to support them when it could have made a difference. NATO is indirectly getting its hand slapped by Russia for its aggressive expansion to gobble up what should have been neutral buffer-nations.It is a game that has to be played.

Russia doesn’t dare to try to expand to that extent.I’m not at all convinced it won’t come to that with Russia threatening to expand its “special security operation” to include any persons and facilities providing material support to Ukraine. NATO is already playing a very dangerous game.

Yeah, it is everyone else's fault Russia chose to invader a sovereign nation...Unchecked aggression? The West has invaded and occupied nations for less. Ukraine was not considered strategically important enough to support them when it could have made a difference.

The strategic answer is to take its lumps and move on instead of creating the biggest risk in its history of instigating a direct conflict with Russia over half-measures in support of a non-member State. So now it comes to it. **** or get off the pot.

Look what we MADE Putin do.

Yep.It's hard to sit by and watch Ukraine get decimated, but shooting down a Russian plane could trigger WWIII.
But part of me wonders if we enter that now, or later, when Putin decides to go after the next sovereign nation.
And Tang.Yep.
Putin has been set free - where he stops, we don’t know.
Welcome to Cold War Part 2, hope you brought the pop tarts and MTV.
Omg Tang! I forgot about Tang!And Tang.
No Fly Zone = active warfare between NATO/US forces and Russian forces -----> nuclear war.So they're not going to Give Zelensky a no fly zone?

Did you think NATO could expand forever and Russia wouldn’t react?
For 60 years there has been an unwritten Cold War rule: Thall shalt not fight thine enemies directly, but thall shalt arm thine enemies' enemies fruitfully that they may decimate them greatly.Yeah, that's a great idea, a no-fly zone.
A week later 8 billion people are dead, but at least we made our point, right?
Or we could just ship in more stingers.
