Well, there it is – NATO General Secretary Says Ukraine Will Definitely Become a NATO Member Once Conflict with Russia Concludes
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | February 28, 2023 | Sundance

Posted on 02/28/2023 6:54:07 PM PST by wildcard_redneck

After the western alliance previously swore that NATO would not put any member NATO state on the doorstep of Russia, a promise that was weak and viewed by many as false – ultimately influencing the decision by Russia, NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg said today that Ukraine will be joining NATO as soon as the conflict is concluded.

Now, given that statement, why would Russia even fathom entering any type of peaceful resolution to the conflict. In essence, Stoltenberg has just turned the conflict in Ukraine into a zero-sum issue for Russia. The only way Russia can keep NATO away from its border is to win violently against Ukraine.

Maybe if Putin was not set on restarting the CCCP this would not happen. Except that would mean treating Putin as a world leader responsible for his decisions. Why bother with that?

"hmm, there's four NATO countries that already border Russia (the 3 Baltic State + Poland), and have for years, with a fifth (Finland) joining NATO soon
Russia never made a big deal about these before ... so this idea of being the catalyst for WWIII is just more bogus fear-mongering"

It is about the terrain. The easiest route into Russia is the Ukraine. Take a look at the map.

Good post on your part.

Our foreign policy is run by nutjobs, who run around the globe pretending to extinguish small foreign policy fires with a fire hose hooked to a gasoline tanker.

The easiest route to St Petersburg is from Finland and the Baltics.

First Russia was weak and falsely duped by idea of friendly West and NATO.

Second those countries are not possess Russian land except maybe town Narva in Estonia which is very small. But Ukraine possesses a huge land of Novorossiya which Russia now is liberating.

No, it will not end well.

The US and NATO gave Russia assurances that they would not encroach or expand into Ukraine, and Putin was very clear that that was a Red Line not to cross. Appears his fears were well founded.

“relax the sanctions”

Most Russians are used to living on very little.

Sanctions can at most have “very little” effect on most Russians.

Uncle Sugar will be paying for their puppet’s NATO membership

Bears repeating, for the neoconned mouthbreathers in the crowd.

We're already paying the pensions for the Ukraine.
