Should NATO enforce a no fly zone over Kyiv? [View all] ColinC Feb 2022 OP

so u want US jets to shoot down Russian jets. really? nt msongs Feb 2022 #2

It would be considered an act of war, so no. BootinUp Feb 2022 #3

Good lord, no. No direct confrontation. Wingus Dingus Feb 2022 #5

Disaster is unavoidable at this point. ColinC Feb 2022 #6

It's a limited war, confined to one country. Wingus Dingus Feb 2022 #8

It isn't though. ColinC Feb 2022 #11

There is a bright line, and that's an attack on a NATO country. Wingus Dingus Feb 2022 #14

That's a dangerous line to wait for imho ColinC Feb 2022 #16

We have troops in NATO countries right now just in case the madman attacks one Justice matters. Feb 2022 #18

At this rate I'm open to "attack" being very loosely defined. ColinC Feb 2022 #19

The madman will not do that. Justice matters. Feb 2022 #21

Unfortunately I don't think the madman has anything to lose anymore ColinC Feb 2022 #23

Let's doubt it. He's not winning in Ukraine. Justice matters. Feb 2022 #24

"No fly zones" are more or less acts of war. So, no. RockRaven Feb 2022 #7

Kinda agree ColinC Feb 2022 #12

We may as well launch a full first strike against them DetroitLegalBeagle Feb 2022 #13

I could go for conventional cruise missiles if we get him out in the open Shanti Shanti Shanti Feb 2022 #15

Russian "silent" nuclear subs not far from our beaches too... Justice matters. Feb 2022 #20

That would still result in war DetroitLegalBeagle Feb 2022 #22
