Military alliance says it will invite Ukraine to become a member only when ‘conditions are met’ but gives no timeline.

    Not sure if we’ll see NATO sink to ignoring a real attack on a member followed by article 5 or maybe pressuring such a member not to invoke article 5, seems unlikely, but frankly humans are the same everywhere.

    I’ve been asking myself the very same question ever since

    • An Orlan-10 crashed in Romania
    • A Tu-141 Strizh crashed in Croatia
    • Two Kalibr cruise missiles flew over Romanian territory
    • North Stream exploded
    • A missile killed two people in Poland and it was so obviously covered up that it was russian
    • A Kh-55 crashed in Poland without anybody noticing

    Frankly, North Stream and the missile strike in Poland convinced me that NATO will do everything, even lying and cover ups, to prevent having to intervene in this war. Even though in the beginning, the US loudly proclaimed that the U.S. and its allies will “defend every inch” of the NATO territory and would respond even in the event of an accidental or unintentional strike by Russia.

      Well, these cases you mention are normal for any war happening near your border. Protests are in order, maybe threatening to shoot down stuff getting too close, or additional sanctions.

      BTW, that missile in Poland could be Ukrainian AD missile, these things happen too.

      I’m talking about real honest to God war.

      EDIT: But yes, they’ve been in fact moving “red lines” to some notable distances.
