🧡1/ There's something weird about #NoFlyZones. Opponents to setting one up over Ukraine say that #NATO would have to implement it, which would mean shooting down Russian planes, which means #WW3.
2/ But here's the thing: In effect #NATO *already has* a #NoFlyZone--over NATO countries. If #Russian military aircraft violate it, we would see it as a hostile act, and shoot the aircraft down. (Or at best, give them a military escort out of NATO airspace--more on that later)
3/ A key to a #NoFlyZoneOverUkraine that people seem to be missing is this: while yes, #NATO would be obliged to shoot down violators, Russian aircraft would have to violate the airspace FIRST. NATO and the international community recognize #Ukraine as a sovereign nation.
