Ukraine wasn’t anywhere close to joining NATO and Russia invaded anyway.
Now they’re definitely gonna push their hardest to join NATO after the war is over, and who could blame them?
- ComputerGuru 5y agoWhy would an “one for all, all for one” alliance bring in a member that’s had a very recent history of armed invasion (by a super power, no less)? It seems to invite a world war.
- kthejoker2 5y agoDoes it? There is exactly 0% chance if UKraine joined NATO back in 2008 Russia puts 200,000 troops on its border and has its psychopathic president give a speech that Ukraine is full of Nazis and has no right to exist. Joining NATO means "the member" doesn't have a history of armed invasion; NATO does.
- ComputerGuru 5y agoThe question isn’t what it does for Ukraine (I imagine that’s clear enough); it’s what NATO risks vs what it gains.
