Ukraine Needs a Roadmap to NATO Membership ASAP
Politico ^

Posted on 07/06/2023 5:42:39 PM PDT by Tench_Coxe

The upcoming NATO summit in Vilnius that begins July 11 will take place at a time of danger and opportunity. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s revisionist ambition to remake the security order in Europe has foundered in Ukraine and exposed cracks in the foundation of his regime. But Putin has yet to abandon his goal of establishing control of Ukraine or his belief that he can outlast Kyiv and the West. Leaving Ukraine in a gray zone of ambiguity invites Russian aggression.

(snip)

In Vilnius, the alliance should launch a roadmap that will lead clearly to Ukraine’s membership in NATO at the earliest achievable date. As with Finland and Sweden, the process can bypass the Membership Action Plan in light of the close and ongoing interactions between NATO and Ukraine. NATO heads of state and government should task the Council in permanent session to develop recommendations on the timing and modalities of an accession process for Ukraine for decision at the next NATO summit in Washington in 2024.

Retarded. NATO joins Ukraine, the unchallenged home of Nazism in the world, and gets instantly dragged into their war of conquest in the Donbass?

Put the sons and daughters of the neocons advocating this disaster in the front line. No more of the Dick Cheney about VN - ‘it wasn’t in my plan” - No, its in your plan and you are going to have to fight what you advocate, neocon warmongers.

One option for Ukraine is to surrender to Russia and become part of Russia. At that point, Putin can again request to join NATO, and this time, given that he has Ukraine, he may have better luck.

They're trying to figure out how to put in large numbers of US troops under a fig leaf, somehow thinking "well now Ukraine is part of NATO. Article 5 time!", and also bypassing the correct procedure of a formal declaration via Congress, which despite the Lindsey Grahams, would not pass for fear of a REAL insurrection.

I doubt a sneaky "deemed a member" manouver eouldn't result in the same thing.

That mandates the start of WWIII.

The time for that was BEFORE Russia started building its invasion forces near the borders years ago.

They wish to rule Ukraine the way China owns Tibet. We won’t war over Tibet. Finland and Sweden want in. Doesn’t threaten the Russians as much but they gotta know they’re not to popular. The Russian people support Putin. Many of them have relatives in Ukraine. The Russian ‘zones’, since conquered would prefer a corrupt Russia to the EU. Hard to figure.

I hope Politico’s offices get hit directly in the first nuclear attack.

Or maybe I’m being too easy on them. Maybe they should die in slower agony of radiation poisoning.

They’re not qualified to be part of NATO.
