The world - international security - has changed beyond recognition in the last decade. But the policies of NATO vis-Ã -vis Ukraine stay the same. Go figure.
I wish we could elect Ukraine into nato because I believe the majority of Americans want it in to help protect the rest of Europe. It’s already doing the work and should get the reward. Besides facing nato Russia would back off.
Ukraine has been defending Europe against Russia for over 3 years, Members have supported Ukraine to a great extent, except USA under Biden and Trump though each for different reasons. If Ukraine joins NATO while fighting Russia, these countries are automatically at war with Ukraine. My understanding is that Putin will test the sincerity of the members to article 5 in the near future. I suspect we already know the answer. Europe does not have its act together yet so is afraid of a conventional war with Russia. In the meantime, "Ukrainians continue to be killed in their beds" as Putin steps up his destruction of the people, language and culture of Ukraine. I am so sad for my adopted country.
