Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) warned Sunday that establishing a no-fly zone over Ukraine would trigger World War III. What is a NFZ?
A no-fly zone, otherwise known as an air-exclusion zone, is an order banning aircraft over a certain area.
In war, such aerial demilitarized zones are intended to prohibit military aircraft from engaging in bombing runs and other hostile actions. Military enforcement is thus required, which includes shooting down aircraft that violate the no-fly order. In this situation, if NATO were to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine, enforcement would mean NATO forces engaging Russian aircraft. What did Rubio say?
Speaking on ABC News’ “This Week,” Rubio explained that imposing a no-fly zone over Ukraine would trigger another world war because enforcing a NFZ requires willingness “to shoot down the aircrafts of the Russian Federation.”
“Look, a no-fly zone has become a catchphrase. I’m not sure a lot of people fully understand what that means,” Rubio began.
“That means flying [Airborne Warning and Control Systems] 24 hours a day. That means the willingness to shoot down and engage Russian airplanes in the sky. That means, frankly, you can’t put those planes up there unless you’re willing to knock out the anti-aircraft systems that the Russians have deployed — and not just in Ukraine, but in Russia and also in Belarus,” he explained.
“So basically a no-fly zone, if people understood what it means, it means World War III. It means starting World War III,” Rubio warned.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
