(8,396 posts)Do NATO and the rest of the world stand by while Russia attacks the other 15 nuclear plants in Ukraine? Do we simply roll over whenever Putin or some other nuclear-armed despot decides to pursue imperial ambitions?
Adam Kinzinger (who is one of only two members of Congress calling for a no-fly zone) . made a very good point today. He acknowledged that the risks of establishing a no-fly zone were real. But then added that Americans are accustomed to having some relatively risk-free options available to them, and in this case, there simply are no risk-free options.
I just don't see how the world can afford to allow itself to be paralyzed by its fear of a nuclear conflagration. That only opens the door to further aggression by Putin, and paves the way for similar actions by China and God knows who else!
