which is something the poor slobs they sent into Ukraine without telling them they were going to be shot at want to do.

No, we don't want it to get worse, it's why we're grudgingly supporting Biden's decision not to intervene directly to enforce a no fly zone over Ukraine. As it stands, most of the strikes against civilian targets appear to be rocket strikes, not bombing, although bombing has occurred.

Keeping Ukraine supplied with surface to air missiles would seem a better solution for the time being.

I think what we're all most afraid of is that maniac ordering the use of battlefield nukes. He does that, all bets are off and I imagine there will be massive international retaliation and we all know what that means.
