I warned three days ago that there was a powerful lobby pushing for a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Blue checks laughed, saying it was a conspiracy theory.

Are they laughing now?

I have receipts.

This one says it's "absolute bollocks" and there are "no advocates in the debate" for it.

This one mocks the proof I provided – which, by the way, was the Obama administration's most senior Pentagon official for Russia.

And here is my thread itself, explaining why a Ukraine NFZ could lead us directly to a third world war.

Another blue check advocating a no-fly zone.

We've gone from this being fringe to mainstream in 3 days.

And another one.

Sorry, I'm a little bitter about having been mocked for warning about this.

It's becoming a movement.

They desperately want to get the U.S. into the war, and "no-fly zone" is their code word for it.

Big account from the CIA-linked "National Endowment for Democracy" advocating a no-fly zone.

But sure, it's just an organic movement. 🙄

The Ukrainians understand they can't just say "enter the war."

So they use euphemisms like this to make it sound like something America should do.

If you think Putin is Hitler, say we should fight World War 3 to stop him.

Don't pretend you're advocating something else using the "no-fly zone" code word.

The "blue checks for a no-fly zone" campaign continues.

Ukrainian leaders are still using "no-fly zone" as a euphemism for asking the U.S. to fight Russia

NATO's former Supreme Allied Commander has now come out in favor of a Ukraine no-fly zone.

Remember: When I warned about this earlier in the week, the blue checks denied *anyone* advocated a NFZ.

A Ukrainian member of parliament lobbies for a NATO no-fly zone.

If I were in her shoes, I would do the same thing. But we can't let sympathy blind us to the risk of WW3.

Now they're arguing that, since WW3 didn't start the last time NATO shot down a Russian fighter, it's safe to do it again.

They think Turkey downing a lost plane on its territory is the same as the U.S. waging a full air war vs. Russia!

Pure insanity.

Reminder: These people want to start shooting down Russian jets over Ukraine while

(1) Putin has expressly threatened to use nuclear weapons if we intervene in Ukraine; and

(2) Russia has put its nuclear forces on high-alert to underscore the seriousness of that threat.
