#1 US and Nato officials have so far declined his pleas for a no-fly zone over Ukraine because such a measure would place Nato warplanes at risk of direct engagement with Russian aircraft, raising the possibility of a nuclear confrontation.

Haven't watched the video yet. I might not watch it at all. Zelensky's plea for a no-fly zone has cost him all the sympathy I might have had for him. I can't help all the things that the likes of John McCain told Ukrainians but the idea that America will enter WWIII for the sake of his ass is so ludicrous that I really don't care what he says anymore. I think he should make a deal with Putin to avoid any further loss of life and destruction.

#2 'Stand-off' capabilities mean Russia doesn't have to fly over Ukrainian airspace to create havoc. AAA systems that reach above 14,000 AGL are needed, but are not the ultimate solution.

1L221E Counter-battery radar systems could make a difference also. It is getting a little late in the game howver.

#3 9/11 was an attack on the US. Russia's attack on Ukraine is not our problem. Go away little man

#9 I hate to point it out,
but most of the people in charge thought we deserved 9/11 and were against punitive missions, and totally against a protracted affair. They are also self-described "Anti-Racists" who teach that the military response to Pearl Harbor was based on racism.

#10 enter WWIII for the sake of his ass is so ludicrous

Remember, the oil is in TX, but the dipsticks are in DC.

The basic rule of the Biden administration is, "What would Trump do? We will do the exact opposite."

#13 The willingness to tempt nuclear winter for Ukraine is past insane, are there so few adults left in DC or the media that they cannot reason past their emotional reaction to the harsh realities of life when the strong prey on the weak. Emotional manipulation must not overcome stalwart reasoning about what is and is not America's genuine national security interest. The Demokrats who orchestrated this well done appeal from a brave man who wants us to save his country were using every tool in the political playbook to make the issue dominate the media coverage and overwhelm the looming catastrophe that is the MidTerm election. The ruination of their control of the federal government is assured if our short attention span citizens can see the consequences of what one year of Marxism has done. That desperation has them transforming a epic tragedy in Urkraine into a purported crisis demanding our total attention while it suppresses awareness of the disaster that is the Bidet Administration off the media for the next few months. 10+% percent inflation, food shortages, rising unemployment, urban crime, gas prices, the inundation of our nation by millions and millions of illegals, the billions and billions of wasted funds on Covid and stimulus, 31 trillion in national debt, tripling in the past twelve years, the looming collapse of the dollar as world reserve currency, the Durham investigation, massive proof of voter irregularities, CRT, incessant race-baiting, educational catastrophes for our kids, all this is hidden beneath the combat footage, refugee stories and massive destruction in a place that not one American in ten can find on a map. The adults left in citizenry must not let this community-organizer manipulation succeed!

#14 Ukrainian government confirms their forces were responsible for the massacre of 21 civilians Monday including children in the center of Donetsk in the Donbass. The commander of Kiev’s military operation in Donbass, General Alexander Pavlyuk, has been dismissed over his decision to fire a Tochka-U missile at civilians.

#16 Good rant, NoMoreBS. The only dog we have in this fight belongs to Joe Biden. It's a shame if the dog gets hurt but Joe should have taken better care of it.

#18  The willingness to tempt nuclear winter for Ukraine is past insane

Say what you will about nuclear winter, but it does resolve the uncertainly about climate change AND puts an end to global warming. I'd call that a win-win!

A most excellent rant, NoMoreBS!
