And yet people still keep asking for the no fly zone or military intervention.

I'm for military intervention. It wouldn't be the first time NATO intervenes in a war where no NATO countries were involved initially. I'm talking about Yugoslavia and Kosovo war in 1998.

Sadly it literally took a genocide for NATO to intervene.

NATO's intervention was prompted by Yugoslavia's bloodshed and ethnic
cleansing of Albanians, which drove the Albanians into neighbouring
countries and had the potential to destabilize the region.

So yeah, i'm for military intervention as well - how can we act as a free world if the strongest military alliance in the world closes its eyes for all the atrocities the Russians commit in Ukraine.

Or will it take more bloodshed and more dead kids to finally intervene?
Maybe another ethnic cleansing like the soviets did with tatars of Crimea?

How is this even remotely similar? Did Yugoslavia have a large Nuclear stockpile and would attacking them or establishing a no fly zone have triggered Article 5? The answer is no.

My point is there's a precedent about NATO intervention where no NATO countries were initially involved.
