Ukraine to seek NATO invitation in Brussels next week

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha is urging NATO leaders to invite Ukraine to join the Western military alliance during a meeting in Brussels next week, according to a letter sent to alliance leaders—reflecting the country's frenzied push to gain membership in the alliance in the final days of Biden's presidency.

The letter, first reviewed by Reuters, comes as Ukraine has re-upped its request for NATO membership to help put an end to Russia's war, including a recent uptick in attacks on its energy infrastructure. It also comes as the Biden administration has granted Ukraine new permissions to fight back against Russia in their final months in office.

In the letter, Ukraine's foreign minister acknowledged his country's ongoing war with Russia prohibits Kyiv from joining NATO right now. But he argued that an invitation for membership in Brussels would be a powerful show of force—and a major symbolic blow—to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has long opposed the idea of their membership in NATO.

Uh, oh.

I pray NATO says no.
They have declined when Ukraine has requested it before.

If Ukraine becomes a NATO member and Russia continues with the war with Ukraine, NATO would be obligated to apply Article 5, "an armed attack against one member is considered an attack against all members."

Just being involved in a war when an invitation is asked for should be an automatic disqualifier, no matter which country it is

And FWIW, Turkey should be kicked out of NATO. They're playing both ends against the middle and feeding info, providing resources, etc. to sworn enemies of NATO members.

God chose who would be in the WH soon. If this last ditch efforts succeed for a few weeks, my guess is that there will be fireworks once Trump is inaugurated


Then, these lawless nations will see Who is in control.
