Ukraine is not a member of NATO.

Ukraine was denied entry to NATO in 2008 by Germany and France.

Ukraine is not going to be a member of NATO.

Fake News to justify a Despot’s territorial war of expansion.

NATO had nuclear-armed MRBMs in Turkey in 1962.

Khrushchev was in the process of putting his own MRBMs in Cuba after our failed Bay of Pigs invasion. They were not ready to fire, the pads were being built. We nearly went to nuclear war over this. In the end, both sides' missiles were removed from Turkey and Cuba.

For Russia, Ukraine in NATO, with MRBMs a 4 minute flight to Moscow, and tanks a 2 day drive to the Caspian, is a red line just as dire as missiles in Cuba.

This is not a revelation. Russia has been warning the world, and we have been ignoring them.

Turns out, the Russians were serious. Just as JFK was.

I suggest you read the entire article thoroughly—quite fascinating.

In reality, there was no longer a need for NATO after the USSR fell, and the organization should have disbanded or significantly wound down most of its operations.

The alliance lost it’s purpose and use. Here we are today.

from the wikipedia NATO page itself:
In the 1990s, the organization extended its activities into political and humanitarian situations that had not formerly been NATO concerns

The Ukraine government is in bed with the anti-Trump U.S. State Department.

Watch the first impeachment of Trump (it’s on Cspan). You’ll come away wondering why so many U.S. government employees, their family members, and George Soros are so heavily involved in the Ukraine government.
