Just read about the concept of no-fly zones
Posted on
Let me just say it bluntly what i feel about them: fucking bullshit.
Imagine this, you are a superpower. You have the chance to COVER the skies in you steel birds of mass murder. You can DENY your enemy any air cover from get go. But you dont do it.
Instead, you make a "diplomatic" action. You declare a "no-fly" zone, something that just doesnt make sense. You diplomatically deny your enemy to fly any aircraft, while you yourself are able to make whatever aviation mission you want. Thats just... thats just not how war works. Either you mutually agree to not use a given weapon (like chemical weapons in both world wars) or you simply conduct warfare like any normal country would, using all (legal) methods to wage it. But this... this is just petty. The amerikan state USED their diplomatic influence to suppress their enemy nation a right to defend themselves.
Its just bullshit. Its cowardly and spineless. And it has been rightfully critizised by not only the Iraqis themselves, but by other major countries like France too. It just doesnt make sense.
Tl;Dr: No-fly zones are used as a diplomatic tool to give yourself an advantage and OH DID I FORGOT TO MENTION - kill civilians while not counting it as a war crime.
