Think about it. NATO is saying Russia is losing against Ukraine, but has to keep sending equipment. Then, for the third or fourth time, with the latest being a few days ago, they’ve refused Ukraine’s entry into NATO (but have accepted Finland) without giving a reason.
Yet they’ve been holding NATO membership over Ukraine for more than a year now, since it was a reason for the war to begin. And a year later, time and time again, NATO says Ukraine will not be joining NATO.
Why would they not give a reason? If Ukraine joins NATO and demands article 5, NATO countries will have to follow and deploy troops – including the US.
Even Zelensky is confused lol, surely he can’t be this delusional.
If the reason was “Ukraine doesn’t need NATO to help to win”, they would say so. If the reason was “Ukraine cannot join yet due to being at war”, they would say so.
The only reason they wouldn’t give a reason is because they actually don’t want to fight against Russia. Half of the countries in NATO barely have an army. Only the US would really put up a fight, and pretty much all “volunteers” that went there didn’t go back for a second tour. US only has experience against technologically-impaired opponents; as soon as missiles start striking their positions and their comms are jammed, they scatter.
If you still think ukraine is going to be winning this by getting nato’s mismatched refuse equipment, you better not change your line in 12 months when Russia comes out victorious of the peace deal and pretend you always knew this was going to happen. You better carry your support through to the end and for the rest of your life.
I don’t think it means they don’t believe they can win against Russia, just that it doesn’t sound like a good idea to them to fight a full on war. Sure it’s alright to throw nameless Ukrainian people into the meat grinder to later do some “rebuild projects” to make it even more dependent on foreign capital. But by sending the rest of NATO into it they risk destabilising their own stronghold in the USA and western Europe. The Russian Empire did have the revolution after throwing itself on some world-ending war for a tiny foreign country far away, and the capitalists have the free time to read history books.
