There is nothing beneficial to us or Ukraine in having them in NATO.
If they get in NATO, Russia is more than appropriate to put nuclear weapons back in Cuba. Cuba doesn’t even border the US, so what’s the worry? We have nuclear weapons in Turkey, so they’d wind up in Ukraine at some point, too.
You want to mess with the bear, and for what benefit?
we’d gain a good ally in NATO — if we had not employed the policy of appeasement there coulda been 150 million lives saved. Maybe we’d be saving 150 million more.

***Okay, you finally came up with a reasonable analogy. How would we affirm the validity of elections in Cuba or even Ukraine? At least in my lifetime there’s never been a crisis with Ukraine but there sure as hell was with Cuba. The trade was getting rid of nuke weapons in Turkey. We already addressed Russia putting nukes in Cuba, so we have sumthin to rest on there.

We have nuclear weapons in Turkey,

***How about letting a monitoring unit of Russians inside the Ukraine? They get to inspect for WMDs. Kinda like what we wanted with Iraq. If we had sumthin like that in place, maybe we coulda saved a couple of $Trillion and lotsa lives.

***You wanna appease the bear, and we already did that & 150 million lives were lost.
