2 existing NATO countries, Latvia and Estonia, have borders with Russia.NATO expansion against a border of a hostile government is part of the reason they attacked...setup a no fly zone and we are in WW3
Yes and with Ukraine its a 3rd...imagine Russians taking mexico, canada and then trying to get cuba... that alone is a hostile act...2 existing NATO countries, Latvia and Estonia, have borders with Russia.
An effective no fly zone would require the neutralizing of radar and missile batteries inside Russia and Belarus. Otherwise US/NATO aircraft would be at risk from SAMs launched and guided from there. Also include the neutralizing of any airborne Russian radar aircraft similar to the US AWACs. They could fly outside of the Ukrainian airspace and still direct SAMs and other aircraft to intercept US/NATO aircraft.
If you'd read Quora, nuclear war is NBD. Russia wouldn't bomb the population centers because they wouldn't have anything to gain, so most people would be OK. Actually, most people would just be without their cell phones for a few minutes and everything would be just fine after that.
I missed the US "taking" Estonia and Latvia and being on the verge of "taking" Ukraine.Yes and with Ukraine its a 3rd...imagine Russians taking mexico, canada and then trying to get cuba... that alone is a hostile act...
NATO is an allied force protecting those countries....now there is a alliance of countries bordering a hostile country...the US withoutna backbone no longer scares anyone..therefore Russia felt it was a power move by NATO...and made a moveI missed the US "taking" Estonia and Latvia and being on the verge of "taking" Ukraine.
Two countries willingly joining (and outright pursuing membership) NATO is not "taking" except to someone willing to do factual and moral backflips to justify a preconceived notion.
