Ukraine - somebody explain to me

[Bo Diddley]

It seems unlikely to me that Ukraine could join NATO until after the war is over. Russia will make membership for Ukraine a deal breaker for any official peace settlement. Because of that, I don't think there will be any lasting peace moving forward. Even if the scale of the war ever diminishes, Russia will stay engaged, even if on a small scale so that a Ukraine NATO membership would be too high an escalation with a nuclear power.

But why are we dragging our feet on sending military aid to Ukraine? The degradation of Russia's military assets alone is worth the investment. It's pennies on the dollar.

I think Elon's kind of been exposed with Tesla and Twitter in the shitter and him being laughably wrong and proven wrong at every turn lately. Why does anyone still care what that incel has to say? Oh right- his money.

Are you suggesting or thinking that NATO could admit Ukraine in the middle of this war? I haven't heard anything like that.

That's what it seemed like Blinken was saying, but I could have misinterpreted.

I'm not sure what you mean by this response, but it does seem like a pretty big step in moving from a proxy war to direct hot conflict with a nuclear nation. Am I misunderstanding what this would mean?
