Ukrainian MP Inna Sovsun: "We Cannot Stop The Bombs From Falling On Our Heads"

[L. Coyote]

Amid the ongoing attack on Ukraine, President Volodymyr Putin has urged the west to help him enforce a “No-Fly Zone'' over the region. Parliament Member Inna Sovsun agrees. “We are doing well on the ground,” she says. “We actually managed to push them from Kharkiv. We managed to take some of the Russian tanks and other equipment. But, we need to protect ourselves.” Sovsun says that short of a “No-Fly Zone” the West should be expediting the delivery of newer fighter jets. “We do have volunteers to fly those…The West needs to understand that Ukraine will fall if we do not get enough support. If Ukraine falls, then Russia will move to the eastern border of Poland.”

1. The West 100% understands it

and collectively decided that 43M Ukrainians is not the same as 1B. No fly zone is a suicide for EU and US (along with Russia). This is the reality, when faced with a choice of your own children in Germany and children in Ukraine, citizens are choosing their own children, this is a primal instinct. Yes, we absolutely need to be sending aircraft to Ukraine for them to use, like yesterday.

3. not a certainty... but a risk. Moscow would also be destroyed.

along with other population centers in Russia.

If we enter the war in a limited way, it is a gamble the Putin goes nuclear, not a certainty.

It's not a gamble I want us to take... but then, at some point, you have to stand up the bully and punch him in the face.

4. unlike us, putin doesn't care about the lives of russians, so we are on unequal footing herr

what stops putin sending “small” nukes toward not yet nato countries - finnland, sweden, switzerland, south korea, etc. Do we want that possibility?

5. sending any nukes anywhere will illicit a nuclear response.

because once you have shown the propensity for first use, you have signaled that you will do it again.

2. We must protect Ukraine. Come on now..stop talking and deliver those jets!
