“Close US, UK NATO airspace to any Russian flights.
And stop all of the above nation carriers to Russia.”
So, what happens to the employees of the bankrupted Euro airlines, that lost all of the profitable Int’l biz to Asian/Middle Eastern carriers from nations that have no intention of getting involved in this?
Euro Corp.’s Mr. Big Cheeze isn’t going to take kindly to being forced to do a 24 hour trip to get to his factory in Central China, and will likely call the Prime Minister to whine about it, reminding him who gives the money to his campaign coffers.
Even worse, he isn’t going to like it when his supply chain gets stretched out to 45-60 days for product, because Russia closed the “Silk Road”, and he has to ship by sea now.
THIBK....
Every action has a reaction.
Southern Asia can be reached without flying over Russia.
northern Asia can also be reached avoiding Russia over the pole.
Most goods from Asia go by sea. I bet Russia’s shitty economy buckles first.
