No, Ukraine didn’t qualify, Sweden and Finland are desperate to get in and are having problems getting approved, Moldova is thought to try to seek membership, and even Switzerland is talking about it.
The reality is that a nation “asks” to be allowed to join NATO and then must face a unanimous vote of currently 30 countries, to find out if they make it.
NATO is not pushing anywhere.
Fascist Germany, with their allies, came through southern Ukraine and advanced to Stalingrad.
Tens of Millions died.
Now Fascist Ukraine, with many of the same allies, trained and armed up (faster pace since the 2014 coup) to attack Russia.
Was Russia supposed to just sit there with both thumbs up their azz.
Not a chance.
And, that is why the Fascist’s will be destroyed.
