[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now hearing Bolton saying Putin's calculus was on a second Trump term, where Trump withdraws the US from NATO making it easier for him to capture Ukraine without worrying about the US.

As much as I dislike Bolton, that actually makes sense - Trump losing re-election changed Putin's scheme and messed up his planning and timeline.

Putin was probably also hoping to influence the elections in Germany and France but now he has Scholz and Macron taking harder lines than he expected.[/quote]

A NATO no-fly zone would not be an attack on Russia. It would be a defense of Ukrainian air space, requested and welcomed by the Ukrainian government. The Russians could always move back to their side of the border…[/quote]

NATO has rejected a no fly zone. One nuclear power cannot go to war against another. Nuclear weapons make war impossible. There can be sanctions. We can arm Ukraine. But a war between nuclear powers is impossible. Nuclear weapons take war off the table. If not for nuclear weapons, there would have been war during this Berlin crisis and the Cuban missile crisis. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/nato-meets-ukraine-calls-no-fly-zone-hinder-russia-2022-03-04/[/quote]
