In Ukraine, they took offense at NATO for the fact that the member countries did nothing to speed up its entry into the alliance. The French call the desire for Ukraine madness, which would lead to an " open war with Russia." One of the readers remarked: "NATO is not ready for a military confrontation with Russia."
On May 26, Ukraine criticized NATO and expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the organization did nothing to accelerate its entry into the alliance, despite acute tensions with Russia, which has massed tens of thousands of soldiers at the border.

Infuriating Russia at its borders, contrary to what Gorbachev was promised, is a bad idea. In addition, Ukraine, to put it mildly, is not famous for effective leadership. Perhaps Biden's son has big positions in Ukrainian companies?

But he (Zelensky, ed.) has already been repeatedly told that there will be no NATO. Doesn't this actor get it?

For Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO, it would require Russia to join it, and there are apparently no such plans!

When Russia realizes that NATO was its only chance of not being chewed off by China, it will be too late. An error formed by a different era of leadership.

The NATO Charter does not allow the entry of a country that is in a state of conflict. Neither Georgia nor Ukraine will ever enter it unless they first agree with Russia on a solution to the problem. The Ukrainian president can be indignant as much as he wants, but nothing will change in this regard for a long time.

NATO is a masquerade, look what is happening with Turkey. The introductions are finished, everything is aimed solely at the benefit of politicians.

Taiwan and Ukraine should follow the example of North Korea and acquire nuclear weapons for their own peace of mind, while preserving democracy. We should help them, as we did with Israel.

Ukraine's accession to NATO is the only way to protect it from new aggression and occupation by Russia. This is necessary.

Ukraine wants to be free from Russia. Unfortunately, it will not find salvation from Western Europe, which has already broken its teeth. NATO is not ready for a military confrontation with Russia.

Approving Ukraine's entry into NATO would be madness, which would lead us to open war with Russia.

Gorbachev agreed to the abolition of the ATS in exchange for the US promise not to accept the Eastern Bloc countries in NATO. The obligation was immediately violated. Therefore, we should not be surprised by Russia's aggressive and defensive position.

Zelensky secretly dreams that after Ukraine joins NATO and receives protection from its new alpha male, the United States will, if necessary, take control of the separatist territory by force and simply return them to Ukraine for their beautiful eyes. We can only wish him good luck.
