NATO reaffirms its long-term support for Ukraine and says its members all agree the nation will join the alliance, but not while the war is ongoing, and not before it has reformed.
The Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) Jens Stoltenberg again spoke of NATO membership for Ukraine as a definite matter — despite previous dissent from within the alliance — as he spoke of a forthcoming meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council this week.
“Allies agree that Ukraine will become a member of NATO”, Stoltenberg said as he said discussions this week would focus on “priority reforms” for the country to make it fit to join the organisation. Recent direct support for Ukraine cited by the Norwegian politician turned alliance leader included the air defence coalition, billions in new funding, and the opening of the F-16 training centre in Romania for Ukrainian pilots. more here
…whelp, that’s ONE way to make sure Russia HAS to regard Ukraine as an existential threat.
If you’re NOT considering them for membership NOW, the only reason to make this announcement NOW is to galvanize Russia into being unable to come to terms with anything LESS than the TOTAL surrender of Ukrane; I guess to keep the “support” grift going, the Big Pedo’s 10 flowing, and push us that much closer to WWIII which our rulers are fool enough to think they can survive…
That is nothing more than keeping the One Stop Money Laundering Shop and Corruption Clearing House open.
They are doing their best to start WWIII
So for Russia it’s “Now or Never”. One kiss goodbye while we unite. Tomorrow will be too late, it’s now or never we can not wait. Russia aka Vlad die trying, fingers crossed.
Russia has every right and a responsibility to their citizens to take over the entire Ukraine at this point
JD – WWIII is already in progress. It just looks different, but make no mistake, we’re already in a war on the West!
it’s corrupt all over. let’s let it join so we can get our hands on some of that cash. a villa in Monoco and a mansion in Palm Springs just isn’t enough
Stoltenberg is stupid and a liar. He’s NATO’s Brandon. Another unelected thief.
I can just imagine what would have happened had Cuba joined the Warsaw Pact.
And why would NATO want a country that has banned opposing political parties and won’t hold elections until Hell freezes over?
Ukraine join NATO?
Over Putin’s dead body.
“…but not while the war is ongoing, and not before it has reformed.”
lol that’s a big butt, Bertha.
Great, one of the most corrupt countries in Europe and one that is currently a basket case will join NATO. What purpose will it serve, other than to give the NATO leaders warm fuzzies and force American taxpayers to foot an even bigger bill?
Just means the US needs to not only refund the UN but get out of NATO as well.
defund dammit, defund…
NATO, best shakedown scam since the Clinton Foundation and the United Nations; sorry, Nations United Against America.
What the hell is a “Ukraine”?
