Most reasonable people don't want WWIII.
Very good article - thanks.
Does anyone believe China, who has their eye on Taiwan isn't watching how we treat Ukraine's invasion by Putin's military.
Do you think China, who from all reports has become very friendly with Russia, and has their eye on Taiwan doesn't notice how we treat Ukraine?
Russia's air force has played a minimum role - in that case, shooting down Russian planes over Ukrainian skies will be at a minimum, yet send a message.
Russians retreating was initially a rumor, but it must have become a problem.
I guess it would take too long and be too bloody to chop each victim up with a bone saw.
Since when are the skies OVER UKRAINE considered a NFZ?
I obviously don't have the answer, but watching Ukrainians killed daily by Russian bombs from the air OVER UKRAINE, for me "thoughts 'n prayers" just don't seem to be enough.
I'm amazed TFG hasn't take credit for the sun rising - not yet anyhow.
What's it going to take other than just watching Ukrainians murdered daily by Russian bombs?
Will the killing of an American journalist by Russian military be the catalyst for Americans to call for shooting down Russian planes over Ukraine skies and not just offer thoughts 'n prayers for Ukrainians killed since Putin's invasion of Ukraine?
An American journalist was killed, and another journalist was wounded by Russian forces in the town of Irpin outside the capital of Kyiv on Sunday, Ukranian police say.

Agree. Instead of just wringing their hands, these 2 Harvard freshmen are putting their education to good use by doing something constructive.
Thank you.
HARVARD TEENS MADE A WEBSITE MATCHING UKRANIAN REFUGEES WITH PEOPLE WITH PLACES TO STAY
"What we've done is put out a super-fast, stripped-down version of Airbnb" said Avi Schiffmann, noting that there are more than 4,000 hosts on the site
Some hosts don't have room for more people, but they're offering assistance for pets.

A 4-year embarrassment for the United States.
An interesting article - thanks.
Unverified reports indicate Putin has fired eight of his generals for failure to take Ukraine in days. That said, Putin is a sociopath with no regard for human lives, and he will resort to any means necessary to punish Ukraine for not capitulating to his demands.
Indeed.
INTELLIGENCE POINTS TO HEIGHTENED RISK OF RUSSIAN CHEMICAL ATTACK IN UKRAINE, OFFICIALS SAY
Yesterday at 7:26pm EST
MUKACHEVO, Ukraine - The United States and its allies have intelligence that Russia may be preparing to use chemical weapons against Ukraine, U.S. and European officials said Friday, as Moscow sought to invigorate its faltering military offensive through increasingly brutal assaults across multiple Ukrainian cities.

What a cutie!...I wonder what's going through the mind of that little angel.
Interesting.
Sounds straight forward to me.
VIRGINIA SENATE NIXES YOUNGKIN PAROLE BOARD PICKS AS PAYBACK FOR OUSTER OF DEMOCRATIC APPOINTEES

It will be interesting to watch how Youngkin handles this rebuke. As a candidate Youngkin claimed he was a uniter, will he unite the Ds and Rs or will he go to his corner and fight everything the Ds do?
A NFZ is not the answer...Putin is a sociopath and has no problem killing people.
Increasing sanctions AND major corps leaving Russia sends a message Putin cannot ignore
Reminder: Attack the message, NOT the messenger.
Nukes a risk, but no one I've heard thinks he wants a Nuclear war...
VIDEO ANALYSIS REVEALS RUSSIAN ATTACK ON UKRANIAN NUCLEAR PLANT VEERED NEAR DISASTER

Answers to your (3) questions...
#1 - No, Putin is a sociopath.
#2 - That depends on how the world handles the Ukrainian invasion by Putin.
#3 - See #2.
It's a good debate but imo there are better solutions than shooting down Russian fighter planes in whatever NFZ is set up.
You still have not articulated "what happens next" after we shoot down a Russian fighter plane in the NFZ...Any ideas given Russia has nuclear capability and their leader is not rational?
By now most people know Putin is not a "reasonable" person - his ego won't let him give in until he is pushed to the wall, which severe sanctions will do.
Answer any way you want...imo, it's simplistic to say set up a NFZ and think Russia will honor it, and if they don't shoot them down without giving a follow-up to "what happens next".
For years Putin has pushed the envelope and has gotten away with it...Now he will pay a very high price that will cripple Russia's economy.
We've exhausted peaceful pressures - Actually we haven't - just today Goldman Sachs, one of the largest investment banks on WS, announced they are pulling out of Russia...my guess more banks will follow.
Shoot it down - O.K. let's look at the consequence of what sounds like a simple solution...What do you think will happen when a Russian fighter plane is shot down in the NFZ? - be specific.
Rex Tillerson's comment is spot on!
Agree, so far this admin/NATO has played their cards well...
GOLDMAN SACHS to pull out of Russia - New York-based GS is the first major investment bank of Wall Street to stop doing business with Russia, putting pressure on other banks to stop doing business with Russia in the near future.

Start with a no fly zone and work from there - What happens when a Russian fighter jet enters the NFZ?
You sound frustrated - what do YOU think the U.S. should do that we're not doing now?
There is chatter that Putin will resort to using chemical warfare - what do YOU think the U.S. should do if Putin does that?
He'll do what he did in Syria until he's stopped - he'll carpet bomb every sq inch of Ukraine!
Dumb and dumber!
Probably not, but hey, DeSantis is all about how he looks to voters NOT facts.
