Summary

Let’s be real—what happens when we shoot Russian fighters out of the sky? As Zelensky addresses a joint session of Congress, this is the very real question we should be asking. Plus, what IS Zelensky’s strategy to fight Russia, and is it effective? As Americans, what should we think? Here at home, it's day 730 of "15 days to slow the spread.” We're still forced to wear masks on airplanes, and the U.S. is considering a pandemic pact. What the ***.

0:00.0	What do you think will happen when we start shooting Russian fighter jets out of the sky above
0:05.7	Ukraine? This is not a pithy question. When Ukrainian President Zelensky addressed the United
0:12.6	States Congress, his biggest ask was for a no-fly zone for the United States to help enforce a
0:20.2	no-fly zone over Ukraine. I don't understand what Zelensky is doing. My evolution on thoughts on
0:30.4	what's happening in Russia and Ukraine has reached somewhat of a crucial point here because I don't
0:37.9	understand how Zelensky can sit before the United States Congress and ask for a no-fly zone
0:44.2	understanding what the implications of a no-fly zone will be. And so this question, and I also
0:50.8	don't understand, by the way, how all of our politicians, our elected representatives in Congress
0:56.8	aren't asking this question. This should be the first question that any politician, any pundit,

1:12.3	What do you think will happen if the United States starts shooting Russian planes out of the sky?
1:18.8	This is a very elementary question. It's very basic question. It's a very important question.

1:28.9	The humanitarian no-fly zone that Zelensky is calling for, the word humanitarian is completely
1:34.5	arbitrary. We already know it's a humanitarian disaster in Ukraine. We can ask these questions
1:39.8	while acknowledging that Vladimir Putin is evil, that Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine is
1:44.4	absolutely wrong, and that Ukraine has every right in the world to defend their country,
1:49.0	their self-determination, and their borders. All of these things can be true at once. But a humanitarian
1:54.3	no-fly zone, the word humanitarian is completely arbitrary to what this is. Whether it's called a
1:59.3	humanitarian fly zone or whether it is just called a no-fly zone makes no difference because the
2:04.4	what it is of a no-fly zone remains the same. A no-fly zone would be a statement by either Ukraine
