Can't join if your Country is in a war

You know it mean before the war smart ass

Pretty sure NATO requires at least 2 legitimate elections in a row before consideration

So USA has one more shot before getting booted?

He said he did try, buy he got no response from nato leaders. Basically no one wanted ukraine into the cool kids club

user, don't make me weak. That includes Civil wars like the one that's been going on for 8 fucking years now.

they have been at war since 2014

the Ukrainian military was being turned into a NATO sockpuppet for the past couple years, so he had all the benefits. Turns out the puppetmaster called out sick and left his floppy artifice to twist in the wind. Top kek.

kek. NATO won't survive the next USA election any better than USA does.

because whats happening right now, Russia was never going to let Ukraine join fucking NATO. Would you want your adversaries missiles on your border? Doesn't seem like the US much cared for it during the Cuban missile crisis

Yes. I mean maybe he thought Putin wouldn’t attack but after Crimea he is definitely retarded

You're a retard, the invasion of crimea at 2014 was a response to ukraine being fast tracked to NATO membership. Ukraine is Russia's Cuba.

It's not something you can join like that.
There are many conditions, and not all NATO members were keen, for reasons we are seeing now (Ukraine in NATO is a casus belli and they would have chimped out even more than they do now).

His mistake was to consider himself a NATO nation (and start antagonizing Russia) despite not actually being a NATO nation.

The guy is a fucking comedian. I mean, literally, that was his job before being President.

You cannot if your country has territorial disputes
thats why georgia was invaded in 2008

>comedian
JEWISH comedian.

can't join when you have disputed borders. they'd have had to renounce their claim on Crimea and Donetsk, or retake them before they'd be allowed to join.

Fair enough. Still he should have just let the separatists keep the land and then join NATO.

Now his ego is forcing 18-60 year olds fight

Not that putin isn't greedy but at least putin had the power to back it up.

corrupt asshole played both sides, gently reassuring russia to get $$ while getting stroked from behind by the EU.

Was he a good comedian?

>can't join when you have disputed borders. they'd have had to renounce their claim on Crimea and Donetsk,
So if he knew Russia wanted war why didn't he just let people who were willing to die to leave Ukraine leave and then join NATO?

What was his end game?

Russia was never going to allow Ukraine to join NATO, it was never up to Ukraine...Putin was going to invade before it was ever allowed to happen, and that is exactly what is happening.

>Russia was never going to allow Ukraine to join NATO,
Great reasoning user, look at how that turned out
