... and that’s a bad thing?
That depends on how much it drives up the price of eggs.
Their prayers have been answered.

Not if you’re a stockholder in any of these companies:

Joining NATO requires the unanimous consent of all current NATO countries.
Hungary has shown many times that it will not be a lapdog of the European elite. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Hungary blocked Ukraine’s membership.
Who knows? Maybe that’s what Stoltenberg is counting on. He gets to talk big while knowing that Hungary will keep Ukraine out of NATO.
There is no US-Russia nuclear war forecasted in Scripture.
And the morons who are so “nymphomaniacal/satyric” for WWIII won’t be the ones dying from it.
Eggs? Did someone mention eggs?
Where's marcus?
I don’t know Marcus but I also love eggs. :)
I thought that there was a clause in the NATO charter that you cannot admit a country that is already in an active war for fear of getting the rest of NATO involved? DOH!
“WW3 on the horizon.”
I doubt it. I’m thinking the Europeans see two options:
1) That Russia takes what’s necessary to prevent Neocon terrorism from attacking their people (roughly 50% of what was Ukraine). OR...
2) Russia liberates ALL of Ukraine.
Statements from NATO like this promise basically assure that Option 2 will be the ultimate outcome (particularly since the US is adios after the election, regardless of who wins). And that’s EXACTLY what Europe wants.
The reason that Option 1 is NOT ACCEPTABLE to Europe is that most corrupt country in world, Ukraine, would then fall into Europe’s lap, and be a BASKET CASE for Europe, for decades...so let Russia have it, and if Putin is in a good mood, he might even divvy some of it out to Poland and other aggressor neighbors.
Fine but show me where the first or second world war is in scriptue, or the 100 year war.
LOL Russia lived with Ukraine as independent and intact for 23 years. The Ukraine war is a matter of ego and loot for Putin and his cronies, not a matter of national existence. With no organized political resistance inside Russia, the combination of enough battlefield losses and a golden exit would be sufficient for Putin to agree to a treaty giving most of the territory back. The whole notion that NATO would ever launch Barbarossa II is figment of Russia’s imperial imagination.
The US defends the free world by treaty or not.
NATO encroachment is the dog that won’t hunt.
WWIII? Russia is in Ukraine going on 2 1/2 yrs.
What is he going to takeover next> A few hummus and pita stands.
Yes zeeper
I thought that it was not legal for a country at war to join ?
regardless, I agree it is not going to happen
One wonders . . . if Ukraine develops a Russia friendly government, will it still become a member of NATO?
