9 NATO members urge support for Ukraine after annexation
The Associated Press ^ | AP Staff Reporter

The heads of nine European NATO members on Sunday issued a joint statement backing a path to membership for Ukraine in the U.S.-led security alliance, and calling on all 30 NATO nations to ramp up military aid for Kyiv.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a surprise move Friday to apply for fast-track NATO membership, in response to Russia’s annexation of four regions of Ukraine.

NATO membership needs approval from all 30 members and Ukraine is unlikely to join anytime soon. Being a country already at war complicates the request.

The nine NATO countries in Central and Eastern Europe fearful that Russia could target them next if it isn’t stopped in Ukraine urged a response to the annexation.

The leaders of Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania and Slovakia published a statement on their websites Sunday saying: “We support Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s invasion, demand (that Russia) immediately withdraw from all the occupied territories and encourage all allies to substantially increase their military aid to Ukraine.”

REJECTED.

Went something like this:

Within a couple hours of the staged green screen signing of the application by ZelenskyyIdiot, the US, head of NATO, and Germany basically said, ‘Umm, no. Go back to the Dunce table and know your cannon-fodder for the US/NATO role, kthx.’

FReepers should note that nearly ALL of the pro Uke, eurotrash apologetics is from these 3 hunks of mystery meat.

Anyone know any of them....ANYONE?

It’s a rhetorical question. One you ask when you’re tired of nasty trolls turning the forum into a globaloid propaganda clearinghouse.

That is why Putin acquired the buffer.

That's funny. So we're not allowed to post and discuss news stories about the war in Ukraine, which is a pretty big event, considering it's the largest war in Europe since World War 2 and involves the U.S. (like it or not), simply because you don't like the fact that the Ukrainians have turned the tide and are now winning?

Regardless, what forum posting guidelines have we violated that so offends you and your pro-Kremlin cohorts?

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.

The welfare of every single Russian and every single Ukrainian is not worth the inconvenience of a single Floridian.

Shut your moronic troll-hole - as if you should be conversed with instead of stomped, like a roach.

All the former soviet states understand what is at risk and are fully in on supporting Ukraine.

I expect NATO will continue providing weapons until Ukraine pushes Russia out of it’s territories and then immediately accept NATO.

It will be like Putin’s annexation, except with teeth.

Thanks for that AAA! I’m getting a little tired of this leftist deluge. This is not what paying customers expect from FReep. There needs to be a concerted effort to clear this place of the trash.

And I love the news sources they use. /s

Reuters, CNN, Associated Press Etc.

I turn to FR to get away from the mainstream fake news...yet these people bring it back daily as Truth.

We can’t discuss what is going on objectively anymore.

Oh really? So differing opinions and perspectives are no longer allowed on this forum? And how exactly do you propose to "clear this place" of us "trash," as you call us?

A purge?

It’s how FR will go down. It’ll turn into a dumpster with nothing but Feds talking to each other. They sound more like DU, too. Gone seem the days of the Zot and the Viking Kittens.

Every form of social media has its weakness. The attack is concerted.

Since Twitter and Facebook have been weeding them out, they have more time to spend on FR.

Kinda ironic claim considering that I was just called "trash" on this thread, and all the vitriol thrown at us on just about every thread. Might want to take that plank out of your eye.
