issue a finding to do that but we have means to do things like that at night. i can t get into the details of it. the c.i.a. has capability and so does the department of defense. that would take a special finding to do something like that because it is being done covertly. dana: jen psaki said yesterday that the no fly zone is being rejected by the president. i saw boris johnson say the same thing today. for the ukrainians hoping something to help them, looks like that would be not only a no fly zone but a no go zone for us. i have great empathy for the request. we have to understand is that we ve had three presidents in succession here, obama, trump, and biden who have all come to the same conclusion that we re not going to go to war with russia over their intervention into ukraine but we ll help ukraine with everything we can to defend themselves. so that means we would not send

solidarity for ukraine? what else do you need? we need to instrumentalize, you know, the these emotional, you know, appeals. it s all good and well. we ve seen the support from all the various corners, from politicians, from elon musk, who has just challenged vladimir putin to a dual, from madonna, et cetera, it s been great. but we need to mobilize and start arming ukraine to the fullest. i don t want to come across as a warmongerer. the no-fly zone is a no-go zone for the american policy makes. once they ve made that determination, they need to understand that they cannot afford to give up on ukraine. the legitimacy of the western world, of liberal democracies of america, of nato, of eu is riding on the outcome of ukraine. give ukraine a surface-to-air support missiles, you know, arm
