Been some loose talk about taking the heat off Aleppo by declaring a no-fly zone over the city. Keep Assad and the Russians from bombing the place.
Not a bad idea, but you gotta ask one big question. Are we willing to enforce such a no-fly zone? Which means shooting down Russian aircraft. The Turks did that a while ago and the Russians got awfully testy about it. Do we have as much guts as the Turks?
If we aren't ready to enforce a no-fly zone, it's better not to declare one. Something you learn from parenting. Never make a threat that you are not prepared to carry out.
