Ukraine has flirted with NATO since it split from the Soviet Union, but it wasn’t until the annexation of Crimea and the Donbas war that it began seriously pursuing membership. Now Finland and Sweden have joined, and whatever’s left of Ukr

You said it required US ownership. It does not, it requires ownership by a non-foreign-adversary, which is every country in the world except 6. I’m being pedantic because the law is pedantic, and I am tired of people catastrophizing over a
