Ukraine Could be Offered Automatic NATO Membership if Russia Welches on Peace Deal: Report
Breitbart ^ | 02/21/2025 | Oliver JJ Lane

Ukraine’s future membership of the NATO alliance may play the role of both carrot and stick to encourage more civilised behaviour from Russia in future, a report claims.

Unfortunately for Ukraine itself, which makes a great deal of wanting to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) to guarantee itself against future Russian aggression, it now seems all but impossible as war peace talks begin. While Russia is obviously against the idea, the United States is also reluctant under President Trump, just as it was under President Biden.

Even European states, who are generally the most enthusiastic backers of Kyiv and who say they support membership one day have proven very reluctant to agree to it immediately. Several European states have argued that Ukraine isn’t ready to be a member of organisations like NATO or the European Union and that, in any case, it would be foolhardy to induct a new member that is already at war and partially occupied by a foreign power.

Wouldn’t that mean automatic war? No NATO country is supposed to border Russia correct?

The UN and NATO need to disappear.

They mean nothing at this point other than highly paid diplomats getting together and babbling about nothing.

‘a report claimed’.

What report? Who wrote it? Who signed it.
Anyone see anything in the article about this report? I did not.

May as well said ‘according to an unnamed source’.

Europe can keep nato but America should get out and remain neutral. It no longer serves any purpose for us

Giving the Ukrainians automatic NATO Membership if Russia “invades” is like giving a gang of juvenile delinquents a pack of matches so they can play in your home.

Finland has been in NATO since 2023.

They’ll bide their time until a RINO or Dem prez is in office who will have been bought and paid for to support war.

“But that NATO question has a place in negotiations nevertheless, says broadcaster NBC, which cites unnamed U.S. talks “officials” “

Neither NATO nor the EU has a place in peace negotiations.

And especially not Ukraine. The deal is to be hammered out by the US and Russia. The two countries responsibility for the war.

No! And no forces from NATO countries as “peacekeepers” either.

France and Germany, despite what they may say, are against Ukraine joining NATO.

That’s like being sued and the only allowed in court is the plantiff, the judge and jury and excluding the defendant.
