I cannot believe this: NATO should impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine and actively fight the Russians. This is advocated in a major US neo-con magazine, written by a top “expert” from King’s College, London. “Ukraine Won’t Spark World War III — A Western aversion to casualties and fears [irrational fears?] of Russian nuclear use are impeding NATO intervention against a vastly inferior [sic] opponent.”

The warmongers have set us on a path of nuclear war with Russia. When the nukes fly, you will get the alert that the people in Hawaii got on our phones 4 years ago:
MISSILE INCOMING. SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
They told us we had 20 minutes to find shelter but didn’t provide any. So we cowered in our bathtubs, parents lowered their children into manholes.
When the Russian nukes are incoming and our ‘leaders’ tell you to “SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY” you will realize how they have failed and betrayed you and your loved ones. We must stand up against the warmongers before it’s too late.

I appreciate your effort but pls do not just post a link. Describe the video and why busy readers should click on it, please.
Scum always rises to the top. Hence the dangerous, money-grabbing politicians in charge. Britain has sent £ millions worth of British NLAW and Starstreak missiles to the Ukrainians. (The UK has 7,000 Starstreak missiles )

The Next generation Light Anti-tank Weapon (NLAW),[1][12] also known as the Main Battle Tank and Light Anti-armour Weapon (MBT LAW),[13] and in Sweden known as the Robot 57 (RB-57),[11] is a fire-and-forget, lightweight shoulder-fired, and disposable (single-use) line of sight (LOS) missile system, designed for use by infantry. The missile, using a soft-launch system, is guided by predicted line of sight (PLOS) and can carry out a top attack or direct attack on an armoured vehicle. It was developed in Sweden by Saab Bofors Dynamics, and manufactured in the United Kingdom, mainly by Thales Air Defence. Users of the weapon include Finland, Indonesia, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.

Yet there’s no money to send my handicapped son to school, along with 650+ other kids in Worcestershire.

Robin Walker, MP, you’re a snivelling bastard. The stickers are being printed off this week. Then [].

This whole conflict is about NATO expansion up to Russia’s borders, setting up surveillance bases on the border, and spying deep into Russia.
.
If NATO imposes a no-fly zone on the Ukraine, Russia will ignore it. Russian aircraft will engage NATO aircraft, or saturate the no-fly zone with SAMs [surface-to-air missiles], just like in Vietnam.

The nuclear silos take 24 hours to prepare, slowly and deliberately so the enemy knows you’re not bluffing.

Russia was just minding its own business, but, over time, hostile states were set up on her border, pointing weapons deep into Russia.
What could possibly go wrong? “Sarajevo 1914” springs to mind.
