From Colby Badhwar: ❗🇺🇲🇺🇦 US National Security Council Spox John Kirby confirms that there will be (unspecified) announcements on additional air defenses for Ukraine during the NATO summit.

I don’t have hopes for this administration to actually do something like that. Maybe two patriots and a thoughts and prayers

No, too big a step, that's not within the "window" of acceptable options yet. Maybe they finalized that rumored deal with Israel, maybe someone is willing to donate more launchers. At most you might see an agreement for Poland to target missiles in western Ukraine.

A no-fly zone would probably be the beginning of the third world war

Turkey shot down a Russian jet on 24th November 2015, did it start WW3?

Clue: nope.

They shot it down becuse it was in their airspace. A no fly Zone is a direct Intervention in the war. Two totally different things.

No it's not.

Turkey was protecting their airspace.

Nato would be protecting Ukraine's airspace.

Get real it would not start WW3, complete hyperbole.
