Should #NATO consider placing a #NoFlyZone over #Ukraine️ ? I flew in support of a NoFlyZone in Iraq prior to the Second Gulf War and have some thoughts from a #Legal/JAG + operational perspective that I unpack for @just_security here. 🧵

2/ A #NoFlyZoneOverUkraine zone does not equate to a "no-combat zone." Quite the opposite. It does not magically occur by mere declaration. It requires a massive military presence and military enforcement, a point made 10 years ago by @Schmitt_ILaw and others.
3/I sympathize with the no-fly zone’s animating idea—to protect human lives—but a #NATO no-fly zone simply presents an unacceptable, escalatory risk to the United States and its allies. Why?
Connecting the dots as @sec_council continues to dither on the #WarOnTigray:
1/9 The 'hidden' war on #Tigray is active as well as the atrocities on #Tigray.
@reda_getachew also provided some insight from the ground.

2/9 On top of all the weaponry, #Ethiopia is engaged in the mass starvation of the people of #Tigray. This is a war crime that warrants an immediate @UN intervention.

3/9 The failure to enforce international rules has given Abiy and Isaias a carte blanch to jail, kill, loot, destruct, commit genocide and war crimes. It’s reprehensible not to use all available leverage to stop such appalling violations.
Eritrea’s involvement is as certain as the sun rising in the east.
Who and why encouraging a doubt on this?
1/2 The deliberate inaction by the enablers of the #DuoDictators maintains the doubt, regardless of the humanitarian crisis and war crimes in #Tigray.

2/2 Condemning Eritrea means taking actions for breaching international law. This would then spoil the complex and grand plan for the Horn.
In 2020, it seems acceptable to commit war crimes whilst powerful forces provide the perfect cover!
No crocodile tears later please.
