    Yes it would if they choose to break the zone.
    Their choice.
    Give them the choice. Don’t fly and you don’t get shot down. Fly and you get shot down.

    A couple pretty big Assumptions but I understand your opinion on this. Not sure I can agree that is the way to handle it.

    Like I said above. It’s my opinion that the US should put an end to this as quickly as possible.
    How that happens is yet to be determined.
    What we are doing now might very likely be the best way to handle it. I hope that is the case.
    There are also a couple other conflicts going on now around the world that could use some help as well.

    Is that Ali Velshi? Because I actually do watch him and have not heard him promoting World War III, something only a lunatic would.

    I didn't watch the whole video, because it's too long for my tastes, but all he said in his clip was what's the point of global alliances if not to stop what putin is doing. Seems like a pretty large leap from that to say he is openly pushing for WW3.

    Watch a bit further, around the 3:30 minute mark. Ali Velshi plainly explains his position on the war through twitter. And I find it quite disturbing.

    I think the bigger news re: Zelensky is him addressing the UN Security Council.

    Ive recently talked with a lieutenant in the US Army (know him well) and he said this war has been building for some time even before Crimea and the military has been training Ukrainians for a long while. He's not optimistic that Putin will retreat at all from Eastern Ukrain and the Port Cities of the south, and if he's not removed or taken out by his own, there very well could be a confrontation with NATO.

    If we give Ukraine the weapons they need they can push Putin back to Russia.

    Russia is dying. Losing in Ukraine would eventually be the end of Putin.

    I mean, this sounds great but I have no more faith of confidence in anything good happening anymore. I think this drags on until there’s nothing left to destroy in Ukraine.
