I wonder how this will go
Blinken: ‘Ukraine will become a member of NATO’
Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed the U.S. commitment for Ukraine to eventually join NATO but held back commitments ahead of the alliance’s annual summit, which will take place in Washington in July.
“Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership,” Blinken told reporters Thursday in Brussels.
NATO allies agreed at the 2023 summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, that Ukraine can join NATO when certain conditions are met, but sparked criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Baltic allies for failing to set concrete goals and a timeline for Kyiv to join the alliance.
Ukraine’s supporters are crafting ways to demonstrate robust international support for Kyiv that can be announced at NATO’s Washington summit, marking the 75th anniversary of the alliance.
OK, so, nothing concrete, but, do you think Putin, with all those nukes at his disposal and a large armed forces which would be looking for complete destruction rather than attempting to preserve land, cities, and infrastructure, will take this well? Realistically, Ukraine cannot join till their little war ends. Which doesn’t look like is going to happen anytime soon. The danger here is that Putin might finally decide to pull of the kid gloves and just drop the military hammer on Ukraine, not caring if cities and farmland and such are destroyed. He damned sure won’t appreciate this kind of talk. And, yeah, why poke Russia over Ukraine?
Or that NATO is considering dumping 100 million Euros, about $108 million. Not EU nations, but, NATO.
So, Blinken says Ukraine will be in NATO, they don’t support independence in Taiwan & hostages still in Gaza with push to change Israeli government? This is bad… https://t.co/O4v91pLf4a

What kind of message does that send to China? Say what you will about Nancy Pelosi, she had the gumption to go there and stand with them in 2022.
