You still seem to have difficulty understanding how EU and Nato memberships work.

Ukraine was never going to get into NATO. They weren't pushing for it nor would existing members allow them to join.
EU membership requires conditions to be met, so Ukraine had a long road ahead before ever becoming part of that club.

Try dealing with facts.

Try dealing with facts indeed. Which planet are you living on.

Marvelous.

Let me translate it for you once again.

An aspiration (even from the president), is NOT a guarantee of membership to either club.

NATO membership is all but certain to be blocked.

EU membership could be 10 years down the line once Ukraine has sorted out all it's internal problems and thus meets the criteria.

Either way, the intent is clear. Ukraine wants nothing to do with Russia. Got that ?

Wiggly worm that you are, wiggle all you like. You are in denial and can play at the ignorant we are good guys all you like. Facts are facts.

NATO have already welcomed with open arms Ukraine. Some existing members blocking yes but that doesn't detract from the fact that US and NATO have wanted all this and engineered it. Sadly Ukraine leadership is bought with bribes and her people are the instrumental US administrative tool stoking the fire. No US lives lost or buildings damaged but Ukraine is becoming a devastated country and losing much.

Ukraine war is weakening US and EU. If you don't already see this happening with the rise of the far East then you are clearly deluded my friend. . It is also emboldening many other countries who don't give a hoot about US sanctions which only end up hurting US and the West.

NATO decisions on open-door policy​

"NATO welcomes Georgia's and Ukraine's aspirations for membership​

At the Bucharest Summit, NATO Allies welcomed Ukraine's and Georgia's Euro-Atlantic aspirations for membership and agreed that these countries will become members of NATO.

They also agreed that both nations have made valuable contributions to Alliance operations and welcomed democratic reforms in Ukraine and Georgia.

The Membership Action Plan (MAP) is the next step for the two countries on their direct way to membership.

Allies made clear that they support Georgia's and Ukraine's applications for MAP. Allies also said NATO will now begin a period of intensive engagement with both countries at high political level to address the questions still outstanding regarding their MAP applications. NATO Foreign Ministers were asked to make a first assessment of progress at their December 2008 meeting."

This is indeed a war for Warlords making money.

Get rid of old stock and make way for new stuff.

One should always look at the allocation of resources and distribution of wealth in economics.

Ukraine is the instrument of the US war for niche players. People at the top end don't have much to do.

The average joe public suffers on all sides.

Just reflect on who gains from this war and who loses, with an open heart.


Very sad indeed.


If Ukraine does attack Russian soil then more destruction and devastation will befall it, as it shortly did after they attacked the bridge. Russia has much more capacity to take out the utility and infrastructure of Ukraine at will.


Has anyone also noticed all the fake photos and allegations of killing civilians has now been replaced with an ongoing war about sending scrap metal tanks and weapons to Ukraine?

Soon all this tosh about our economic woes being as a consequence of Ukraine will also fall on deaf ears as banks and other institutions holding super-safe Government bonds see their assets halve in value as interest rates rise.

This war is so freaking remarkably stupid event by the US and the WEST it is about daft as it gets. European leaders are bribed to act in US interest. Soon the political establishment will be seen for what they are. Vested interest and lobby groups. They do not have the interest of the public or civilians. Only their self-serving interests and money masters.

Dreadful stuff.
