Peace is better than war.
The war is over Ukrainian NATO membership. If NATO membership was off the table, or if Biden was strong and had the conviction to defend Ukraine there would be no war.
Instead he entertained Ukrainian NATO membership and tried to fend Putin off with finger wagging.
- michaelmrose 5y agoI don't think its at all reasonable to suppose that the US simply saying they would oppose Ukraine joining NATO would have in any universe enough to avert war when merely preventing the expansion of NATO can seemingly be obtained far easier with their influence on NATO members who must be unanimous to induct a new member. That is to say they have every reason to believe that they could without invasion keep Ukraine out of NATO for the foreseeable future so the invasion isn't about that issue.

What NATO should have done was to accept Ukraine as a member. Anybody think Putin would invade a country that can refer to §5?
