She should have stuck to being a lawyer then because she isn’t good at her current job

True the more likely answer is she was dumbing the answer down for her audience which speaks volumes about her opinion of her voting base.

What would happen if the US imposed a no-fly zone in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pleaded with U.S. leaders and NATO to impose a no-fly zone over his country as it continues warring with Russia, setting off a debate about the consequences such a move would have. 

"If there were a no-fly zone, and we had to enforce it, that would mean U.S. planes flying concurrently with Russian ones. And you'd run the risk of U.S. planes downing Russians or vice versa," Dan Hoffman, a Fox News contributor and former CIA station chief in Moscow, told Fox News Digital. 

Hoffman told Fox News Digital that going back to the Cold War, U.S. strategy has dictated "no direct, kinetic engagement with the Soviet Union or with Russia."

"That means our soldiers aren't raising their firearms to go shoot them in the face and vice versa," he said.

Instead, the U.S. has fought proxy wars with Russia since the end of World War II, including currently in Ukraine. A no-fly zone, however, could change that and put U.S. soldiers in direct conflict with Russians. 

NATO and the White House have denied imposing the no-fly zone, while some U.S. leaders have described such a move as coming with disastrous consequences. 

"The only way to implement a no-fly zone is to send NATO fighter planes into Ukrainian airspace, and then impose that no-fly zone by shooting down Russian planes," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said. "We understand the desperation, but we also believe that if we did that, we would end up with something that could end in a full-fledged war in Europe."

Fox News is just figuring this out now?

Shell to halt buying Russian oil and gas and close all service stations in country

Shell has announced plans to withdraw from Russian oil and gas and close all its service stations in the country, as the boss of the FTSE 100 company apologised for buying Russian crude oil last week.

The company will immediately stop buying Russian crude oil on the spot market and not renew term contracts. It will also change its crude oil supply chain to remove Russian supplies, but said this could take weeks to complete and would lead to reduced throughput at some of its refineries.

Shell currently gets about 8% of its crude oil from Russia, to be turned into diesel, petrol and other products at its refineries.

Obviously she's not dumb but she looks and sounds dumb.

They sell those evil assault rifles that nobody apparently needs. You'll have to buy a $5 dollar piece to make it war ready though (allegedly).

Well if this was a predominantly black audience as KC noted then she was just, as others have suggested, talking to her audience on their level of understanding of the world.  If anything she’s condescending.

If you recorded me explaining normal sized male genitalia to @Jason or sex and female genitalia to the rest of AW, I’d probably sound like an idiot, but I would just be making sure my audience understood absolute basic facts that they probably didn’t know.

Fair enough.

In Kamala's case I'm sure she does just fine when she's talking about her area of expertise, whatever that is.
