Ukraine Will Join NATO, Says Antony Blinken
2024-04-05
[Breitbart] WW3, thanks, you incompetent f*cks
NATO is going to “build a bridge” towards Ukraine becoming a member state of the defensive alliance, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on the organisation’s 75th birthday.

North Atlantic Treaty Organisation member states met in Brussels at the alliance’s headquarters on Thursday to toast the 75th anniversary of its founding, among them U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken who like others used the occasion to discuss renewed Russian aggression and the potential place of Ukraine among its members. He emphasised the view, already articulated multiple times by NATO leaders in recent years, that “Ukraine will become a member of NATO”.

What he left unsaid, however, was the conditions that generally come with the statement, that this membership would be when Ukraine is in a fit state to join, including not being occupied by a foreign power.

#2  Why? Ukraine isn't anywhere close to being able to join, even if it was at peace. I have nothing against it, IF they meet the standards and IF they clean up the remnants of the old Soviet government more. But at the end of hostilities or in 10 years? Not likely. 15 maybe.
