I’m kinda getting tired of journalists and politicians who make obvious statements like “Reducing the risk of nuclear war should be a key concern.” Duh! We already know that.
You'd think. But there are a lot of people talking about "doing more" to help Ukraine.
The idea of a no-fly zone is being bandied about. They wave away the nuclear concern while advocating shooting down Russian planes (killing the pilots) and destroying anti-aircraft weapons (killing the soldiers operating them) in Ukraine and just over the border in Belarus and Russia. People are asking if we should "do nothing" while a 40-mile column of troops and equipment is heading for Kyiv.
And by "people" I don't mean randos on Twitter or even media personalities. I mean sitting US Senators[1] and former NATO commanders[2].
