      @@Ch33seandWh1ne Are you a child? What type of a comparison is the "new kid on the block" or a "friend group"? These are two of the most powerful countries on earth. If you think a country like Russia or the United States will submit to a country that is hundreds of times weaker than it then that is foolish. Both countries deserve tremendous respect and have the power to back it up. The only point I can agree on is that no country has a veto over the NATO enlargement. Although it can be argued that US policies don't exactly entice other countries to disagree with its decisions. However, given that Russia greatly influences the world, NATO should have pushed for further negotiations. The USA does not want to share power. It's simple and makes sense, that's all this power struggle is.

    I think the point of the rhetoric is that it’s everyone saying that by the time the war _actually ends,_ most of the behind the scenes work will have been done in advance, and Ukraine (with whatever its borders are like by then) with thus join at THAT point. Joining the alliance isn’t going to do them well in THIS current conflict (apart from helping to manage its aftermath), but it WILL help deter future ones with Russia.

    Ukraine is 50 or more years from being able to join NATO. Even if the population overwhelmingly agrred to unite and make joining NATO a national priority, it would take that long.
    Every NATO member is going to require Ukraine to appear to be a stable, self sufficient country with control of its territory and no hint of any internal or external dispute that would potentially cause concern.
    Ukraine aspires to be able to join NATO, regardless of if they actually do. Just being able to means that they are in a significantly better position than yhey have been at any time in history.
    NATO is essentially a sovereign defense insurance program. You can't buy homeowners insurance while your house is on fire. You can't buy flood insurance while you are evacuating for a category 5 hurricane. You also cant be in the middle of a war and join NATO asking for help.
    That said..... Kuwait was able to get the United Nations to enf the Iraqi invasion. The system worked that one time. Unfortunately, Russia has veto power at the UN so there is nowhere for Ukraine to go for help. The UN is meant to serve this role, not NATO.
