The point to make now is that the Ukraine served America's purpose of initiating hostilities against Russia, but it has been almost completely neutralized by Russia. The mercenaries coming from Nato countries are likely outnumbering the Ukrainians who are fighting.

Protecting the Ukraine being Nato's/America's excuse for being there can't be upheld as the reason when half the country has been destroyed and half the civilian population has left and are living in Russia or Nato countries.

The Ukraine will never be a Nato member because there can be no purpose served. Nato's article 5 is now just getting in the way of progress against Russia.

There's no future injury against the Ukraine that could be prevented by article 5!

Criticism of NATO by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky infuriated Washington so much that officials briefly considered backtracking on its commitment to eventually invite Kiev to join the military bloc, the Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing unnamed sources.

Infuriating Washington isn't the real reason of course, but it serves as an excuse for the eventual withdrawal of the offer to the UKraine.

Wow! What a desperate wish! You must believe Russia is close to collapsing if this is all you think can save it.

The US reluctance to provide a timeline for membership at this time is due to domestic political considerations. A key argument of those few Americans who oppose aid to Ukraine is that it could eventually lead to US soldiers fighting in Ukraine and Biden has said it would not, so to prevent the Putinheads and Magas from having more arguments about US soldiers having to fight in Ukraine, Biden, always more of an opportunistic politician than a political leader, does not want to commit to being forced to send troops to Ukraine by NATO's article five, however Biden had also said he would not approve F-16's being sent to Ukraine or Abrams tanks being sent to Ukraine or long range missiles being sent to Ukraine, so when Biden thinks it is politically safe for him to provide a timeline for Ukraine's NATO membership, the US will drop its objections.

you could have just said that Nato's article 5 would amount to America being at war with Russia. I'm afraid you haven't read the story or you've failed to understand it.

Again you show your ridiculous posts come from your lack of understanding of just about everything. The discussion is about a timeline for membership, not about joining right now, but if Ukraine had been admitted and article 5 had been activated, it would mean coming to the aid of Ukraine to get the Russians out of Ukraine, not to go to war with Russia.

Do you see now how depending on RT to define the world for you makes you stupid?

I see nothing new 'now' but I see again how America is a Nato member and would be going to war against Russia.

Talk about stooooopid?

Better, talk about nuclear war!
 
Inviting Ukraine into NATO could have a downside that nobody here is considering. What if Ukraine joins NATO and 20, 30, 50 years down the road they decide they want to join the Russian Federation and become Russia's lackey again?

You see nothing but the world defined by Putin's lies.
 
Nobody here seems to factor that there will be no Ukraine to join anything once the next four regions fall in the Russian counter offensive . And if you dream that Dear Uncle would allow a pro- US Kyiv enclave , you are certifiable .

You mean when we see monkeys fly out a pig's ass? Well, when that day comes, Ukraine, like all other NATO member states, is free to leave NATO.

Russia is an empire that does not any nation it has ever controlled to leave, but NATO is not an empire, but an alliance of independent countries that have banded together to defend one another against Russian aggression and every member may withdraw at any time it no longer believes it needs this defense pact.

That's it! No Ukraine left to join anything.

But the big question now becomes, will America accept defeat or is it just too important that America defeats Russia and then is only faced with China for world supremacy?

Biden and the Pentagon are moving more rapidly toward the short strokes now.

Not to go to war with Russia? Did you miss the Gulf War with Iraq.

Another case of one country invading another, and the response included striking at the heart of the invading country,
 
Stoltenberg: "We can admit Ukraine to NATO even today, but first it must defeat Russia, China, Iran and North Korea to earn our trust."
