Perhaps not the best idea?

fight a war with one hand tied behind one's back? The fact that putin has nukes has put the entire world in a box.

Enforcing a no fly zone would mean war with Russia, thats not a step most are willing to take.

What happens when NATO shoots down a few Russian aircraft and we are in a full fledged world war?
Kinzinger couldn't answer that question and simply said that everyone would know Putin started it (paraphrasing).

if when that happens, it will get ugly.
