11. No entity but Ukraine can enforce the no fly zone. They are already at war with Russia.

All we can do is send them weapons systems if we believe that Putin will use nuclear weapons if he is "attacked." There will come a day when Putin will use the same threat for us supplying weapons. Once Putin knows that we take those threats seriously, and sees it as weakness and fear, he will use them to have us bring him waffles and coffee in the morning. "If you don't release my yacht, I am going to destroy the world" kind of thing.

Europe and the US are hiding behind NATO at this time; I am not saying that that is a bad thing, but I do think that it is a thing. We are going to end up having to subdue Putin or kneel to him, I trust that our leaders know when it will be time to act and I hope they are preparing for the eventual conflict. Make no mistake, Putin is at war with the West, the West just isn't at war with Putin. Yet.

All of this crap could be avoided if one well placed Russian was willing to give his life to save the world. With Putin gone, I believe the Russian leadership would try to defuse the ticking time bomb.

It is such a shame that one insane tyrant can cause so much pain and suffering, and threaten the existence of our Species.
