    If the US wanted it could certainly implement a no-fly zone on Ukraine. It just doesn’t want to.

    I have no idea why you think the US can’t do this to Israel. What’s Israel going to do about it?

        “global nuclear war” with israel, a country with a nuclear arms program so small it doesn’t even officialy exist, and without a delivery system

        yes this makes sense

        No, not next. Back the fuck up.

        You think Israel would launch nukes because the US enforced a no fly zone?

        They’d kill everyone on Earth and themselves just because the US gives them a timeout?

        Then they’re a rogue state that needs to be destroyed before they start WW3.

              I’m not sure what you mean, but unless ISIS (who declared Fatya on the US) was in Libya, and a proxy attacked them on behalf of the US, it’s still not the same thing.

              Next.

                  The only US operation into Libya was by air, and to take out a gathering of ISIS leaders. Please feel free to provide facts saying otherwise. It was also approved. I’m not sure how your point provides a better solution to the original question .

                  Next.

                No, not next.

                The US is actually obligated under international law to prevent genocide, so it could even do this under complete compliance with UN mandate. You seem to think there’s some kind of barrier stopping the US from doing this, but I have no idea why? Israel could not stop the US from implementing a no-fly zone, therefore, the US can implement a no-fly zone. Unless you think some other country would intercede on Israel’s behalf, there’s literally nothing they could do to stop it.

                  No, you are mistaken. There’s a gray area that Israel means to exploit, and has been. They were attacked FIRST.

                  They, and all of their allies, are full within their rights to “defend” themselves against aggression and violent acts. What Hamas did was a violent act. Nobody just saw it going this far, and it might be weird to try and think about that now, but those assholes did go in and kill a bunch of people at a fucking music festival. It’s not like they attacked a military force.

                  Next.

                    Stop this “next” shit, it makes you sound like a bot.

                    Anyway, the US can implement a no-fly zone regardless of who was attacked first, because it has a duty to prevent genocide. This “gray area” only exists because the US allows it to exist. The US could instead choose to ignore this gray area if it wanted.

                    Think about it. If the US did implement a no-fly zone, who is going to stop them?
