Can I ask a question, does anyone think we’ll implement a no fly zone? Or intervene in another way? So many people on Twitter seem to be calling for this, including Piers Morgan it seems!
To me it would be a catastrophic decision and would possibly end in nuclear war.
I want my child to grow up and have a future, sorry if that’s selfish but I don’t think world war three with Russia is the best idea…especially when they have nukes.

'Nato not considering no-fly zone', says US ambassador
Nato is not considering a no-fly zone to counter Russian aggression in Ukraine, the US ambassador to the bloc has said.
Speaking to BBC News, Julianne Smith said: "We do not believe at this point that NATO needs to be party to this conflict.
"[We are] providing a tremendous amount of both lethal assistance and humanitarian assistance."
Nato has faced calls to introduce a no-fly zone to stop Russia using its jets to support its forces on the ground, but many have raised concerns that the move would escalate the conflict.
Smith did reiterate that Nato was not willing to compromise on its policy of having an "open door" to prospective members in Europe.
"That question rests with the aspirant countries... and with the Nato allies. Russia has no veto power whatsoever over that," she said.
"We’re going to begin conversations about longer term posture changes that the alliance may need to take in the weeks and months ahead.
"Nato is doing the opposite of what Russia wants."
She also criticised Russia's decision to put its nuclear forces on high alert.
"We do not like Russia talking about any sort of escalation… as it relates to their nuclear posture," she said.
"We find this rhetoric to be extremely dangerous and it increases the risk of miscalculation. We’re interested right now in seeing Russia leave Ukraine, call for a ceasefire, and de-escalate this situation.”
