"Wearing the olive-green T-shirt that has become his wartime uniform, and appearing virtually from a capital that’s under siege, Zelensky was David asking us to join his fight against Goliath. Make no mistake: That’s what the no-fly zone he wants would mean — a hot war between the world’s two biggest nuclear powers."

Got it, but that’s the writer speaking. I can never figure out what his (Hohmann’s) politics are. But your point is well taken, that it’s scary as hell no matter what. I’m sticking with my hunch about Zelenskyy using it as a pressure point. (But my late husband described me as a Pollyanna so consider the source). Let’s pray things never reach that point.
Why would he use it as a pressure point? It makes no sense that he would try to cajole NATO into starting a full scale regional war. And the piece you cited doesn't explain Zelenskyy's motivations any better. It doesn't matter anyway.
