To repeat: If Russia attacks its neighbors Finland, Sweden, Ukraine, Moldova or Georgia, we stay out of the war. However if Russia attacks Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Romania or Bulgaria, we enter, even at the danger of nuclear war. Does this appear rational? Does this make good sense?
After Friday’s NATO top refused to develop a no-fly zone over Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated the allies’ failure to “close the skies” to Russian military aircraft provides “a thumbs-up for additional battle of Ukrainian cities.”
“All the people who will pass away beginning with this day will … die since of you,” said Zelensky to NATO, “due to the fact that of your weak point.”
Zelensky’s indictment of NATO for cowardice came after NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg ruled out a no-fly zone:
“NATO is not party to the dispute. NATO is a protective alliance. … We don’t seek war, dispute with Russia. … We need to not have NATO planes running over Ukrainian airspace or NATO troops on Ukrainian area.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken echoed Stoltenberg:
“Ours is a defensive alliance. We look for no dispute. … President Biden has actually been clear that we are not going to get into a war with Russia.”
Sunday, Blinken expanded:
President Joe Biden has “a duty to not get us into a direct conflict, a direct war with Russia, a nuclear power, and risk a war that broadens even beyond Ukraine to Europe. … What we’re attempting to do is end this war in Ukraine, not begin a bigger one.”
U.S. policy in summary: Ukrainians must keep combating and passing away, killing Russians, while we avoid– and cheer them on.

Put simply, developing a no-fly zone over Ukraine would involve U.S. planes and pilots
shooting down Russia’s planes and pilots. This would mean war between Russia and America. Provided Russian military teaching, such a war might quickly escalate to the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Bottom line: We are not ready to run the risk of war with Russia over Ukraine, as that nation of 44 million is not a crucial interest nor a member of NATO. We will not develop a no-fly zone over Ukraine, as that would indicate war with Russia.
However had Russia attacked Estonia, not Ukraine, we would be at war with Russia, due to the fact that Estonia belongs to NATO. To repeat: If Russia assaults its
neighbors Finland, Sweden, Ukraine, Moldova or Georgia, we avoid of the war. But if Russia attacks Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Romania or Bulgaria, we go in, even at the threat of nuclear war. Does this seem sensible? Does this make good sense? Why are we committed to do for Bulgaria– risk war with Russia– what the majority of all concur would be insane when it comes to Ukraine? On this, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been clear and
convincing. Any effort to develop a no-fly zone over
Ukraine will be dealt with as an act of war. And Russia reserves the right to attack any nation whose planes are enforcing this no-fly zone. As for the transfer from former Warsaw Pact nations like Poland of older MiGs to Ukraine, for usage against Russian soldiers, says Putin, this would be an act of war, and Russia would strike back against the nations putting the MiGs into the fight. Biden also fulfilled recently with President Sauli Niinisto of Finland, a neutral nation that shares an 833-mile border with Russia. Niinisto might be thinking about membership in NATO.

Yet, this presents issues, amongst them the warning Friday from the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Maria Zakharova:”We regard the Finnish government’s dedication to a military non-alignment policy as an important consider ensuring security and stability in northern Europe. … Finland’s accession to NATO would have serious military and political consequences.”If the Finns show an interest in joining NATO, would NATO defend Finland versus Russian military action while its application for subscription in NATO was being considered? Would all 30 members of
NATO welcome a new member, with 5.5 million people and a long border with Russia, for whom all of NATO would be required to go to war with Russia, under the Short article 5 war warranty? Remember: NATO subscription for Georgia and Ukraine were topics of allied conversation, prior to they encountered Russia
. That discussion has since been placed on the back burner. How would including a new nation to protect, a brand-new responsibility to combat the most heavily armed nuclear power in the world, Russia, serve U.S. interests, when Stoltenberg, Blinken and Biden seem hugely alleviated we don’t have to fight for Ukraine now? Did Ukraine’s trolling for membership in NATO trigger Putin’s war? Friday’s Wall Street Journal composes:”The Russian intrusion of Ukraine arised from 2 immense strategic blunders,(Russian historian)Robert Service says. The very first came on Nov. 10, when the U.S. and
Ukraine signed a Charter on Strategic Collaboration
, which asserted America’s support for Kyiv’s right to pursue membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The pact made it likelier than ever that Ukraine would eventually sign up with NATO– an unbearable prospect for Vladimir Putin.’It
was the final stroke,’Mr. Service says. Preparations immediately began for Russia
‘s so-called special military operation in Ukraine.”An alliance established to avoid war may have just sparked one. Do You Appreciate Reading Our Emails and Site?
