Its not a misnomer at all - it is exactly what it says it is - might not be a good idea, but calling it a 'no-fly zone' is completely accurate.
- wrycoder 5y agoYeah, it means, “We fly, you don’t.” Or maybe, “No Ukrainian or Russian aircraft - NATO aircraft will shoot down both.”
- vetinari 5y ago> Or maybe, “No Ukrainian or Russian aircraft - NATO aircraft will shoot down both.” Not really. Response to any Russian aircraft shot down would be sending a bunch of rockets to the place from where the aircraft was shot down; whether the destination is NATO or not. From there, it would escalate quickly. That's why NATO generals and saner politicians are not enthusiastic about it. TL;DR: trying to enforce no-fly zone would hurt. Too much to be worth it.
