Have you considered that you might have existed for a long time before your birth, just that your memories were erased at that point in time (or you simply were not equipped with a brain to store them)?

It's very obvious he would blow up the TSMC rather than deliver the much coveted chips to the world.

Not true, China's claims are best known in the West because everybody hates/fears them. But there are others - like the dispute between Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines regarding maritime borders.

Not only have I looked at a map, I have the misfortune of living quite close to Ukr. You probably don't even need to bc you live far enough to be safe and lecture others on the internet.

Sweden doesn't care about NS2, but they'd rather not embarass the US (if this is true). After all both countries were very vocal since day 1 that Russia blew up their own pipelines. I'd love to find out the truth, even 10 yea

>Its not if it becomes a Russian satellite. Indeed Ukr has always been in a tough spot. Align with NATO or Russia and become a target for the other - that was the only choice I guess, but it was never explained why actual neutrality was

Then one could also argue that no NATO country has ever fought off Russia. Ukraine barely stopped the Russians, even with the massive help of NATO (both before and after the 2021 invasion). It doesn't follow at all that NATO thinks Ukr

Why the /s though? It's obvious some countries actually promote monopolies, especially when they go global.

What are you trying to say here? Technically true is still true, so we should take it into account when making a decision.

What would you have them do? March tens of thousands of young Europeans into the trenches?

Yes, but only technically . What matters is the advanced weapons system each of these countries has on its territory. Think Aegis Ashore and the likes of that. Otherwise, they're just empty land (from a military viewpoint).

Portugal was only an example. They could however find themselves pressured to send soldiers, and not only supplies, should NATO decide to openly declare war on Russia.

Obviously "requesting" is a much better word. However, the gist of my comment was they are trying really hard to sell the idea that their membership is beneficial to NATO (which I believe it most definitely is not).

Why couldn't they? If their findings support this theory then they must come forward and say so.

But NATO literally (and I also mean geographically) NATO has Ukr on its side. So what more would a country like say Portugal gain from Ukraine's NATO membership, except perhaps having to contribute to their defense even more?

Nope, they only store them. Just like Ukr did for Russia back in the 80's and 90's.

I don't think that's necessarily a good idea. Ignoring the fact that no country should be pressured to accept becoming allies with some other country they don't like, what would Sweden expect from Turkey if, say, Russia invad
