I'm not going to lose any sleep waiting for Russia to self destruct by firing one.

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.

Biden is showing his true colors here!
I'm not going to lose any sleep waiting for Russia to self destruct by firing one.
Of course it was symbolic, because under the present conditions Ukraine meets almost no criteria for acceptance. And he knows it.
And, what’s with this “ZelenskyyIdiot” childishness? Can you be any more juvenile than what you already are?
Oh, BTW: Have you found that DD-214 yet?
So, if Ukraine isn’t part of NATO and FJB swore to defend “every inch” of NATO land, WTF are we doing in Ukraine?
This is Joe Biden’s Vietnam. We’ll send all the armor and money you want. And we’ll stand up your ill trained army.
The second he tries to put our Troops there....the second he’ll be impeached.
Everything he touches turns to @@it.
Zelenskyy is an Idiot, hence Zelenskyyidiot. Not hard to figure out why I use it, not at all.
And I don’t care if you, as with others, are butthurt, touched wrongly, view such as childish, demeaning, etc. Really, I don’t.
Oh, BTW, you found your way out of the basement which you dwell in and located the living room where your parents watch TV to get their Social Security #s, their bank account #s, and their credit card #s?
I explained why I don’t. Should have been enough.
But no.....
Yo, the bridge from where you crawled from is missing you about now....Troll.
Pretty much.

…the strategy [of consolidating control over Eastern Europe] is not meant to create new dividing lines in Europe. The aim is to anchor a vulnerable, insecure zone in the certainty of a stable and prosperous and free Europe, and over the long time [sic] this vision includes a democratic Russia. But the pathway to reform in Moscow might just begin with choices that are made in Kiev, Chișinău, Yerevan, and Tbilisi.
I think it will - and should - take more than that.
First, it'll take stability in the border, not just the moment Russia would theoretically be pushed out. That means an actual agreement between Russia and Ukraine, so we're talking post-Putin.
It'll also take a convincing demonstration that Ukraine is returning to full democratic traditions after the war, which means legislation of opposition, freedom of the press, etc.. Not until all of that is in place would NATO really give Ukraine a serious looks.
According to Fiona Hill:
“The West is already fighting World War 3 with Russia, former White House Russia advisor Fiona Hill says”

“So, if Ukraine isn’t part of NATO and FJB swore to defend “every inch” of NATO land, WTF are we doing in Ukraine?”
So many fallacies in that statement.
It’s like saying, “If the NY Yankees aren’t in the NFL, why are we cheering for them?”
First, the statement does not say "we will only defend you if you are in NATO", which is how you've interpreted it apparently. I mean, we're in Korea, and Korea isn't part of NATO either.
More importantly, we aren't defending every inch of Ukraine. The Ukrainians are.
Understood but not going to change my habit.
And my apologies for calling you a troll.
I’ve said from Day One that I oppose putting American boots on the ground in Ukraine and American helmets in the air over Ukraine.
I agree: If Biden commits combat troops to Ukraine he should be impeached.
The neocons step in another huge pile of dog poop. And tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands will be killed again.
What a completely evil group.
To understand the true works of the western international politics today, listen to Nigel Farange or the new prime minister of Italy. They spell it out clearly.
After kamalalalala went over and encoursged their joining NATO and prompted the invasion.
Makes sense.
