His entire plan seems to be in flames. He can’t take a country 1/10 his size, he’s losing senior Officers almost daily, his Black Sea flagship is gone, and now 2 more countries want to join NATO.

Hard to call this any kind of victory.

I’m not comfortable with this.

The question is will Putin react to membership applications or not react until/unless membership is approved?

Great - they’ve gone from poking the bear to kicking it. What could possibly go wrong?

And a few tactical nukes negate all of that.

The bear was the one that started kicking.

In 2008 both Ukraine and Georgia asked to join NATO. France and Germany jointly REJECTED them, for fear of “poking the bear”.

Didn’t work.

6 weeks later Putin invaded Georgia.

6 years later, after recovering from the Georgia war, Putin invaded Ukraine.

Putin invades non NATO countries

Putin is the real Nazi in this. He treated Ukraine just like Hitler treated Czechoslovakia. He took a slice of the Republic of Georgia, then subverted, “Green Maned”, and stole Crimea. He then started the fake “separatist” movement in the Donbas, and on a February morning at 0400 (same start time as the Nazi invasion of the USSR) he made a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It is only thanks to Ukrainian bravery, Ukrainian spirit, European and American material assistance, and the good Lord’s hand that Ukraine was not overrun by the much larger foe.
