Yeah, that’s another reason that it’s sort of hard to justify a no-fly zone at this point: Despite the civilian losses, the country appears to be holding its own and could potentially force Russia to withdraw from the war without NATO intervention.

Somehow, I think that might be the stronger precedent, that NATO can remain the “Arsenal of Democracy” that readily supports non-NATO democracies in future conflicts without getting directly involved. That the US can begin to ease back from its post as the “World’s Policeman.” And that Russia ruined itself for no appreciable gain in the end.
