Kicking for visibility SheltieLover Feb 2022 #2

is this a situation much like NATO? if he's a member of the EU and is being attacked... Javaman Feb 2022 #3

Apparently so BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #4

It seems pretty clear that Ukraine has now become a victim of terrorist attacks n/t AntiFascist Feb 2022 #11

Well yes - any "attack" would qualify BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #13

The UN needs to take a stronger stance... AntiFascist Feb 2022 #16

My thought process on the whole "Security Council" thing BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #18

I think the main problem is... AntiFascist Feb 2022 #20

Well much of their "nuclear munitions" were also in BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #28

NATO needs to admit Ukraine ASAP onetexan Feb 2022 #5

Ukraine apparently didn't want to be in NATO - this is a request to be in the EU BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #8

Ukraine does want to join NATO, but they didn't get admitted previously was because of corruption onetexan Feb 2022 #14

It was also by decree after the election of Yanukovych over decade ago BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #19

Victor Yanukovych, then president of Ukraine, was pro-Russian so of course he didn't agree to onetexan Feb 2022 #21

Correct BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #25

Look past the post-Yanukovych years. 2019 amendments to the Ukrainian constitution Torchlight Feb 2022 #26

Yes but again - that was only recently BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #29

Again, avoid the Yanukovych years and the policy is much more standardized. Torchlight Feb 2022 #31

How can you "avoid" and somehow wipe out the previous position of a country BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #33

You ask me an irrelevant question no one is asking of you Torchlight Feb 2022 #34

This is what the person I was originally replying to said before you chimed in BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #37

Who is arguing a body of policies can be dismissed just because? Torchlight Feb 2022 #39

This is what you posted BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #41

I think you're typing too fast. Slow down and breathe. Torchlight Feb 2022 #42

I suggest you not characterize my posting BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #44

I read only what is written. Torchlight Feb 2022 #45

No I'm afraid you moved the goal posts BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #46

let Ukraine join the EU immediately samsingh Feb 2022 #7

I suggested that they let Ukraine into NATO immediately yesterday world wide wally Feb 2022 #10

Don't confuse NATO with the EU (which is what this OP is about - the EU) BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #15

... The world is acting as if now it's the natural, optimal thing to do, so come on, EU! ancianita Feb 2022 #12

Joining EU is different than becoming a member of NATO FakeNoose Feb 2022 #17

Yes - I have been saying that in this thread BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #23

Exactly - thanks! FakeNoose Feb 2022 #24

Abso-fucking-lutely not. DetlefK Feb 2022 #22

Well the membership originally wanted to slow the process at this point BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #27

Yes, please. If this doesn't prove where this man is and will lead his country, I don't know what onecaliberal Feb 2022 #32

This request is for EU membership, not NATO membership (that can happen at some point) BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #36

They should be admitted to both, immediately. onecaliberal Feb 2022 #38

That's up to NATO BumRushDaShow Feb 2022 #40
