  1. “Promise you won’t do the only thing that would guarantee we won’t try again after rebuilding our military.”

  3. I’m thinking an official invite to NATO would be a great Ace in the hole when sitting down at the negotiating table. Show good old Vlad he truly doesn’t have any say about who joins NATO. Fuck Vlad and Fuck Trump too.

  4. NATO membership was NEVER the reasons they invaded. If it was, they either are incredibly incompetent or incredibly stupid or both. Sweden and Finland joining puts that narrative right to bed.

    It is and always was an unjust war of conquest.

  5. Good for him. He must of used his time, to research and read history books. I’m 80, even in 5th grade, we were told how important it is to know everything you can about the candidate, before voting. Today it’s even easier. Google them, go to the library. I knew who Trump was, decades ago. How? By reading newspapers and watching reliable trustworthy news. He never was a person of good character. That’s why NYC, looks down on him.

  7. Great neutral article from Kyivindependent. NATO never promised Ukraine membership, a NATO bureaucrat did. A functionary can’t make promises on behalf of every member nation, member nations must agree.

  8. We need to start a new military alliance with a really on the point name like The anti Russia league.

  9. Just sign it anyway, say you won’t join NATO. Then join NATO. It’s not like Russia honored the nuclear disarmament agreement to protect Ukraine

  10. Having nukes, or being in an alliance with nukes is sadly the only way for Ukraine to be safe.

  12. Europe will need to step up. But no reason for Kyiv to stay away from long range missiles. Go ahead and use them. Repeatedly. Till the people of Russia get the message and relieve Putin of his duties.

    Fuck you Ruzzia.

  15. NATO exists quite literally as an anti Russia organisation. This war is the exact reason why countries join NATO. This war is why Finland and Sweden, who have historically been neutral during the cold war, finally joined NATO.
    Russia was given the opportunity to join europe when the soviet union fell, and Russia has done nothing for the last 30 years but alienate itself.
    Everything happening with NATO, is Russia’s fault. Russia has no one to blame for NATO expansion but themselves

  16. As the military aggressor Russia should be offering security guarantees – not demanding them.
