Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he is willing to resign if it ensures peace or NATO membership for Ukraine.
“If it is peace for Ukraine, and if you really want me to leave my post, I’m ready,” he said. “Alternatively, I can trade this for NATO membership… I’m focusing on Ukraine’s security today, not in 20 years.”
His comments come amid tensions with Donald Trump, who falsely suggested the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war.
Meanwhile, U.S.-Russia negotiations continue without Ukraine, which Zelenskyy firmly rejects. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of Ukrainian involvement in any peace negotiations.
NATO aint what it used to be. I suggest a new startup instead.
Edit: Lol, people downvoting me when one of the founding members is threatening to invade other members. Idiots.
EUTO
Hi there. Canadian here. We’re still a part of NATO.
Now we just have to get our shit in gear. Canada needs more of everything defence wise. Maybe fewer generals though
And as constitutional monarchy, your King lives in the UK.
EUTO still fits.
The UK isn’t part of the European Union fwiw
I’m not being serious about calling it EUTO fwiw
They lick a whole pair of boots
Not as much as you lick putins asshole
Even if the USA were to leave NATO or refuse to participate, there still isn’t a better security guarantee than the remaining block being obligated to engage militarily in your defense, and the block still contains nuclear powers.
Right… so start a new organization with those members. Ukraine isn’t joining NATO with Trump holding veto powers. Anyone who can’t see this is myopic.
Why would the US leave when the russian asset can do more damage from within?
Ok, so that’s the crux of it that I think was unclear in your original post.
Your initial post was read by me (and presumably others) as “NATO without the backing of the USA isn’t a meaningful defense group”
But I think what you’re saying is “ENTRY to NATO with the USA pulling the strings is an unrealistic goal”
If US leave NATO, Ukraine isn’t a target .
It’s a bit confusing, since nato was always the US protection racket for its vasals who had to buy their crap to assist them every few years when the great policeman of the world decided some poor country needed to be bombed into democracy.
Now the master, impotent on the world stage is cannibalising its own.
As the demon Kissinger said: it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.
