Wow, if anyone was wondering how they could be on the wrong side for 3 world wars in a row, this comment helps understand.

There have been plenty of attempts from Ukraine to get closer and participate in the collective security arrangement. Frankly unfair for a German to judge Ukraine for not being part of the western alliance, when it was largely Germany in the first place that was preventing it from joining.
- ffsm8 15d agoCompletely made up BS, as so often in those discussions. NATO is the USA. If they actually wanted to allow Ukraine to join, they could've. And Ukraine never even attempted to join until AFTER the invasion in 22. And it was not Germany in particular that spoke out against the idea of Ukraine joining NATO back in 2008. Basically every member said it would unnecessarily aggrevate Russia. Blaming that on Germany is disingenuous to a stupid level.
