The problem is that only one person at the chessboard knows how to play chess.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday backed a call from Turkey for a no-fly zone over parts of Syria, saying it would alleviate the situation of displaced Syrians.
"In the current situation it would be helpful, if there could be such an area, where none of the parties are allowed to launch aerial attacks, that is to say, a kind of no-fly zone," she told the daily Stuttgarter Zeitung, when asked about opening up such areas to host people fleeing fighting in the war-torn country.
Merkel's call came on the same day that the Luftwaffe (German air force) confirmed Russian aircraft had been shadowing its Tornado reconnaissance planes over Syria. ...

Send in the Stukas.
And Ms Muggle will enforce this zone how?
Way to go murkyl.. Fighting like its 1702.. You can fight between here and here.. Only on these days and only when you can’t win. She must have several bank accounts earning.. Interest.. In the region. Does that mean we can’t fight while you are having a bad hair day?
Lol! Snort.
Yes Russia will stop it’s enormously successful military campaign for no reason whatsoever.
Even she is not that bone crushingly stupid so there is some other agenda that she is pushing with this ridiculous request
Europe sits on the sidelines for years then starts ordering its superiors around.
-Even she is not that bone crushingly stupid so there is some other agenda that she is pushing with this ridiculous request-
I suspect she is indeed that stupid. This is one of the problems of electing leaders who are expected to command their military but have zero military experience. One of Bill Clinton-s advisors said there was no problem stopping all expenditures on fighter planes and bombers because during World War II we ramped up in a short time from making almost no planes to making forty thousand planes a year. There is a special stupidity required to be a liberal.
Didn’t Hitler make a similar request over 1945 Berlin?
The EU governs by crisis, so there is something behind this.
Russia might just GIVE her a “no fly” zone — where any non-Russian plane flying over Syria gets shot down.
No fly zones require overwhelming military power on one side. That is not realistic with Merkel and Obama on one side and Putin leading the Russian military on the other side.
Angela, did the Syrian government invite you to bomb their country?
Either declare war on Syria or get out of their skies.
Realistic all depends on which side of the chessboard you're playing from.
The problem is that only one person at the chessboard knows how to play chess.
With world leaders like her and ours what hope is there ?
Is that a reset button on the chessboard?
Can’t even figure out a no-walk zone at her borders might be a good idea.
Seeing is believing and I aint seeing! And she and her stupid NAZI party are gonna let loose another 500K+ muzzies on her nation too! So long gemany and it was never nice knowing you!
I must have missed the election. How many votes did Merkel get in Syria?
