There are a lot of pundits, journalists, and members of Congress using the
term ‘no-fly zone’ right now, but what does that mean?

No-Fly Zones Explained…

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is urging NATO to impose a no-fly
zone over Ukraine. Simply put, a no-fly zone is airspace where certain
aircraft are not allowed to enter.^1

In this instance, a no-fly zone would be used to ban Russian aircraft from
entering Ukrainian air space to launch attacks, transport troops and
weapons, and conduct surveillance.^2

Why is this dangerous?

Declaring a no-fly zone is essentially tantamount to a declaration of war.
This is due to the enforcement that a no-fly zone requires.

Meaning that, if a no-fly zone is established, the U.S. and NATO may have
no choice but to shoot down Russian aircraft that violate the no-fly zone
directly.

This would ultimately result in an escalation between nuclear powers, with
the potential for a full fledged war in Europe.

Here’s the issue…

The lack of transparency surrounding what a no-fly zone actually does
leaves the majority of Americans unaware of the potential risks an action
like this could have.

Equating a no-fly zone with war is by no means a controversial statement
amongst foreign policy experts.^3 The fact is, if you’re not comfortable
with the U.S. declaring war on Russia, you’re probably not comfortable
with the U.S. or NATO initiating a no-fly zone.
