The current administration is redundantly clear that it won't allow Ukraine to join NATO to avoid antagonize Russia.
- nrawe 2y agoYeah, I think they'll fold on that point, too, but the main stumbling block for Ukraine is that Russian guarantees mean little in a post-2021 invasion context given they made the same overtures after 2014. The idea of the entire country becoming a DMZ just smacks of Putin lining up the next play and a Russian-leaning leader put in Zelenskis place.
- oezi 2y agoWhy do they empower a war lord such as Putin? In what universe should the US care about if they offend Russia? Will they put Iran over Israel next?
- liuliu 2y agoMaybe they don't view him as a warlord but ideologically aligned friend. Israel is a conservative Jewish state which is more ideologically aligned with current administration than a Islamic state.
- Muromec 2y agoWell, it's either NATO or nukes, the man himself said it.
