Why doesn't NATO just say hey Ukraine you can join? Ukraine is going up and holding its own against 1 bully. Wouldn't it benefit NATO to say hey we protect everyone from bullies?

    Basically the rules are, you can’t be in a fight already if you want to join.

      IIRC, there’s also a sort of anti-parasite scan, naturally. If you’ve ever experienced bedbugs, you’ll know the value in that. Deeply.

      Which makes a lot of sense. If you could wait until you need backup to join, you’d just never join until you need it. No country wants to get sucked into someone else’s war.

      At least, that’s the mentality. The truth is, no war is “someone else’s war”. We’re all in this together globally, and oppression anywhere is a threat to everywhere.

        Who knows, maybe NATO’ll update to the modern era after this. Maybe.

          Probably not, at least not while conservatives hold power in allied countries.

                    the moment you see karoline leavitt stop lying, and her cross not increasing in size, its a red flag.

            I think Trump is going to rumble about withdrawing, but I doubt it would actually happen. The US wants to be able to swat down any membership applications that they don’t like. That whole “unanimous decision” thing means the US can stonewall potential new members if they want, the same way Hungary has done for Sweden.

      There is no such rule. The rule is everyone else already in has to agree to you joining. Practically most people don’t want to go to war and so nobody will agree, but there is no rule stating they can’t agree.
