�The View� co-host Sunny Hostin said Monday that it was time for the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to �start talking� about
implementing a no-fly zone over Ukraine in order to stop Russian planes
from attacking civilian targets from the air.

Despite concerns voiced by President Joe Biden�s administration � and
members of both parties � that implementing a no-fly zone would be a
dramatic escalation between NATO countries and Russia, Hostin argued
that it made sense to think about it because the United States had been
part of such actions in the past.

WATCH:
Utterly oblivious to the consequences and the dangers of
enforcing it, The View's Sunny Hostin demands a no-fly zone
over Ukraine. And she seems to think NATO is already at war
with Russia.

Hostin mentioned comments from Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) � who said
that when it came to stopping Russia, nothing should be off the table �
and noted that, for once, she agreed with him.

�I rarely � I think that Manchin has been, you know, so obstreperous
when it comes to the Biden administration�s plans, but I think he�s
right about this,� Hostin said. �I don�t think we can at this point
seeing the devastation in Ukraine, seeing � I saw this photo this
weekend of a family of four trying to flee, and they were just killed
by shelling.�

�I really, you know, felt that at that point, we have to do something
when you are seeing whole families, generations being taken out by
Russia, and it feels like just with impunity, and I think what Manchin
was saying is we can�t take anything off the table, and you and I
agreed on this last week in terms of, you know, the oil sanctions,�
Hostin continued. �I mean, even Jonathan Karl, our colleague and friend
said on the �This Week� program that it�s extraordinary that the Biden
administration is sanctioning everything but Russian oil which is the
thing that drives their economy. It is the thing that drives their
economy. If you are going to sanction Russia, sanction that, you know,
sanction the oil.�

�And in terms of the no-fly zone, we�ve done it before. We did it in
Iraq. We did it in Bosnia. We did it in Libya, and we did it because we
had a coalition,� Hostin added. �There is such a strong � there�s such
strength in numbers. There�s such strength in coalitions and this is
NATO we�re talking about. I think that it�s time now to start talking
about the no-fly zone because when will Putin stop?�

Co-host Sara Haines pointed out that Ukraine was not a NATO member
nation � which made things more complicated if a NATO country like the
United States were to engage in implementing a no-fly zone �
particularly without the consent or cooperation from other NATO
countries.

�You have to get that consensus from NATO to do it or you�re kind of in
a bad faith act being part of that organization of 30 nations,� Haines
said, adding, �I tend to see what Ana is saying. We�re the most
powerful nation in the world. We�re a wealthy nation, and I feel like
there�s not a good answer here because the no-fly zone makes sense. In
the beginning I thought, why aren�t we just doing it? He�s tempting us
to do it. One aircraft comes across to shoot and that�s active war and
we�re in a war.�

�Aren�t they already in a war?� Hostin asked.

�That�s what I mean. The other side of that is we�re understandably
afraid of a nuclear war, but right now he�s firing at nuclear plants.
So is it not going to be nuclear regardless?� Haines continued. �Like,
I don�t know where you go from here.�

Haines went on to say that the only real option seemed to be to keep
pushing with sanctions and other restrictions in the hopes that forcing
Russia to crumble under their weight would influence Putin to stop.

�You have companies jumping in right now, Visa, Netflix, TikTok,
MasterCard, you name it. One by one, everything is falling,� she said.
�That squeeze has to be felt eventually, but I don�t know if it will be
in time because right now every day we�re watching so many people die.�
