“ought-six...what happens now? ... But Ukraine will be left out in the cold because they won’t meet the criteria, just like Sweden didn’t?”
Easy. The NATO protocol requires unanimous consent for new members; that was lacking with Sweden. If Turkey and Hungary vote to accept Sweden, it is in. Thus, it would have met the protocol.
Ukraine still doesn’t meet it — including the fact it is a nation at war, which is an automatic disqualifier — let alone still requiring unanimous consent of all (soon to be 32) NATO members. That’s why I said the NATO protocol would have to be rewritten to bring Ukraine into NATO.
10-4 Sparky. Roger that Sparky. Okey Dokey Sparky.
You still think there are rules and that people play by them.
All you have to do is watch video of Biden at the beach and walking with King Charles to know that he isn’t in charge of anything.
He and the others will do as they’re told.
If they’re told to let Ukraine in, Ukraine is in.
When that happens, US troops on the ground. Just what war mongers want.
