It is direct NATO involvement, I never advocated for it -- Ukraine did.
Obviously we wouldn't let Ukraine into NATO now during a conflict, but if this conflict somehow ends and Putin withdraws then I think there's a strong case for giving them NATO membership. Letting Ukraine join NATO later is a deterrent from another invastion, letting them join NATO today is just the start of WWIII
- ericd 5y agoAh ok, I agree. Sorry, I must’ve misunderstood what you meant by “the basic facts of this unprovoked invasion are more than enough to justify NATO intervention” in your original post.
- Johnny555 5y agoOh, I definitely think NATO has ample justification to join the battle, and if the adversary were not Russia (or China), I think they already would have. But I also think it would be a horrible idea to get into a direct war with Russia.
