U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan says Ukrainian efforts to join NATO should be taken up "at a different time," throwing cold water on the country's desire to join the international alliance and potentially easing Russian tensions as President Vladimir Putin has begun accelerating rhetoric of potential nuclear war.
Ukraine formally applied to join NATO as a military partner on Friday, coinciding with Putin's announcement that Russia would be formally annexing four occupied regions within Ukraine's borders. If accepted, NATO-aligned forces would formally be drawn into the war, pitting forces in the West against the Russian military and, potentially, escalating the conflict.
NATO's Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said earlier Friday that while it supports Ukraine's right to pursue an alliance with NATO, all 30 allies need to reach a consensus on membership.

Putin has always stated a further eastward expansion of NATO into Ukraine, or other nations for that matter, would pose a security threat to Russia. So the answer you’re looking for is NO...
While you’re deciding whether to man up or not, I’ll throw this in.
Ukraine joining NATO wasn’t on the table. But is definitely on the table once this war is finished. Putin has made sure of that. Just like he made sure that Sweden and Finland join.
But you said it was never on the table. So Putin can’t use it as a reason to invade Ukraine. So he was lying. That’s a YES. You just won’t admit it.
Hollywood amateurs, what to expect from a comedian? ….but then people here voted for a brain dead nursing home resident.
What happened to well qualified leaders? Nothing but embarrassments, especially in the western governments.
More importantly, we aren’t defending every inch of Ukraine. The Ukrainians are.
———-
With borrowed arms, equipment, and money. The Ukies have become a welfare state. They are drained, depleted. Bodes not well for them, “ the last Ukie left standing will be the Zelensky Youth and Babushka.
They've all put Ukrainian families on the line and the Ukrainians are just too foolish minded to understand THEY really don't matter.....cannon fodder for Biden and Obama as w see playing out every day.
As for qualified leaders here....as long as Identity politics and social issues on the front burner rather than competence and the country's security we aren't going to see many qualified people. All the others are too busy ripping off their states and country to let good people in.
These are not Ukrainian troops Biden has deployed to Ukraines war...
That February photo is of troops going to NATO, not Ukraine.
The United States is deploying troops to NATO countries in Eastern Europe, but not to Ukraine, which is not a member of NATO.Credit...Kenny Holston for The New York Times

Ukraine was rejected three years ago I believe. No?
There’s no way in Hell I’d ever take a bullet for a guy who plays the piano with his nuts.

Wonderful. I feel safer already.
Tagline.
Part of me has wondered throughout this if the Ukrainian government and people just don’t understand what kind of evil they’ve gotten themselves caught up in. They seem so quaint and naive at times - like these photos…and then true evil like Pelosi and Graham shows up for a gosh-darn visit saying all kinds of loving gushing things into their ears. China, Russia, Iran, crazy Kim even, seem quite hostile and predatory at times for sure…but the West…the West, being right here in it, truly seems like the ultimate in evil…hating both man and God with a never ending seething hatred.
“However there is a likelihood that when Ukraine pushes Russia out of all of it’s territories including Crimea, that NATO will immediately accept Ukraine.”
The entire world will be incinerated before that.
SHHH!
Stupid people don’t know it yet.
Well, The West declined the Ukies admission to NATO, again.
Vlad wins, again.
Taking territory is one thing, holding it is another. neo-Yatzi ZelenskyyIdiot’s army is vanishing and fighting age males are fleeing Russians in droves. What is left of the Ukrainian army is getting it’s ass kicked. The Ukrainian navy as with it’s air force has been destroyed.
What are you, a Putin bot?
I don’t give a rip for these two thug regimes but the simple fact of the matter is Russia is getting it’s ass kicked and every Russian male who can is high tailing it out of Mother Russia.
The Russian navy lost it’s premier ship the Moskova and it’s air force gets shot out of the sky.
You’re an idiot.
What are you, a neo-Yatzi ZelenskyyIdiot bot?
I don’t give a rip for these two thug regimes but the simple fact of the matter is Ukraine is getting it’s ass kicked and every Ukrainian male, and FEMALE given they are now being drafted into the Ukrainian military, who can is high tailing it out of the Ukrainian Fatherland.
The Ukrainian navy is destroyed and it’s air force is near non-existent and virtually destroyed.
You’re an idiot.
