This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Call Putin’s bluff. Enact a no fly. We must protect and assist the country of Ukraine. Russia’s actions are an assault on humanity. Stop Russia by all means. I’m tired of pussy footing around a murderer. Fry him.
I still don't think you can call the bluff of a despot with nuclear weapons that is already making illogical decisions with no regard for human life, including his own countrymen. He clearly doesn't care about killing thousands of Russian soldiers and Ukrainian women and children for no other reason than his own ego. Back that man into a corner and he may very well decide to end the human race because he thinks he has no other option. It sucks, and there's nothing I'd rather see than a wing of fighters clearing the skies and an A-10 brrrrt erasing the artillery around Ukrainian cities, but I also like to keep breathing, so... yeah.

Yup, I'm beginning to get a LOT more concerned about this!

If we're sending them our attack drones then we may very well be doing that without saying we're doing it. Those can easily be flown from here in the US and used to knock out armaments. Now they suck against tanks, but if they can be combined with Ukranians in jets who intercept Russian MIGs while the drones focus on targets on the ground such as artillery firing positions, then we may be able to do just that.
 
In fact this is something the Ukranians have already accused Russia of trying once.

On March 11, the Kyiv Independent reported that a Russian aircraft attacked the Belarusian border village of Kopani from Ukrainian airspace in an attempt to make it appear that Ukraine had attacked Belarus. Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said the attack was a strategic provocation to provide Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka with a “casus belli” to move troops into Ukraine.


Meanwhile, Franak Viačorka, a senior advisor to Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, said Russia had launched “many missiles, planes and helicopters from the Belarusian territory” on the night of March 14. He said the attacks were launched from Luniniec, Mazyr, Mačuliščy, and Kalinkavičy. “Every 5 minutes, they bomb and come back,” he added. “The Belarusian army is not even informed. It is right to say that Belarus is under temporary occupation.”

And you’re opinion sucks. Why say anything about someone who’s smarter than you?
Guessing you’re a education major and thus do it all the time.
Iowa once had lower admission standards for education majors - might still.
 
I'm not following what you saying? Can you explain a little more?

The same curriculum and themes. The same applies to such degrees as MPA’s etc. Law schools are going the same route too. I can understand why but there’s not a ton of diversity in graduate/professional education anymore. I got off topic a bit but I’m willing to bet if people compared Canvas platforms, they’d be shocked at how similar they are.
 
I just watched 15 minutes of the Fox News propaganda show "The Five."

They were all united against Putin, so that's nice.
Uhhh, I watch the show regularly. They have been united and speaking against Putin since the beginning. Most of them calling for an increase in the US arming of Ukraine. The only hold out against it, for the most part, has been Gutfeld. He is not so much Pro-Russian as he is against American involvement in another controversial war, where our interests are minimal. He is more Libertarian than anything and is tired of seeing us waste time and money on conflicts, in large measure, due to misinformation and the building drumbeat of war and American involvement. He has encountered a lot of resistance from some of his Fox colleagues over this. You may think he is wrong, but after Iraq and Afghanistan, can you be sure? Either way, his opinion is valid and should be considered in the vein of free speech and dissent, both vital to the American experiment (I still see bumper stickers saying #resistance. Or does that only count for one side?)

Ok. I could see that.

I know.

I'm just glad Republicans and Democrats are united against Putin.
