What more does Ukraine have to do to persuade Nato that it deserves membership in their organisation! Oh yeah Nato has shown solidarity.But it hasn't allowed Ukraine to be one & all with Nato."All for one & one for all."Putin's veto is still there with his supporting countries who obviously have no desire to bring about a peaceful solution.
Better let Ukraine join Nato now ..
Ukranians have shown the world they are fierce warriors. Not having them in NATO would be a mistake.
It just seems sanctions are not doing much to defeat Putin and his Russian army. So, it is better for United States and NATO/EU allies to continue helping Ukrainian people with their needs. Let God deal with evil Putin and his army.
Are these people stupud.it sounds like they sre constantly provoking Putin.
Nato please Save the ukarine! So that rassian may not kill lots of people
Only USA benefits from this war. I'm with Ukrainian people, but their president should wake-up
I hate media..the presenter very bias. They don't ask important questions. NATO will continue to supply weapon πͺ to Ukraine until one day there is no more Ukraine.
Why Russia not allow NATO membership? Twice US Obama and Clinton rejected Putins Applications for NATO membership..
Fueling blood again come to asia π€£π€£
Why doesnβt Ukraine bomb Russia
a person who usually only threatens, and always threatens means he is weak, the same thing with America who can threaten other countries to follow his wishes even though he himself is a dwarf, so he needs guarantees from other countries and needs support from other countries so that his dwarf becomes big . I hope the countries of the world can wake up soon and quickly realize America's deception
It is all NATO 'fault. If it is too afraid of Putin to allow Ukraine to join NATO, it should say from the beginning. It make Ukraine to believe that Ukraine can join the NATO, then in the end NATO would not allow Ukraine to join.
Nato the trrorist alliance .started this shitstorm .
If they do not accept Ukraine into NATO, Russia will probably continue these horrifying war crimes towards civilians and cities. Russia will get away with these crimes. If Ukraine is accepted into NATO, it will prevent future deaths and events. Russia believes they have the right to want to control Ukraine just because it WAS A country during the Soviet Union. This war is not going to stop without outside countries not interfering besides sanctions.

Let the Russia join the NATO and war is over. Let Russia join the EU and Putin is over in the next elections.
Do it. Bring in Ukraine now and drive the Russians out.
The long reach of history strongly points that this would be the wisest response.
Victory will occur on the battlefield and not in a courtroom somewhere.
The suffering will continue as long as Russian troops remain in Ukraine
and are killing the people of Ukraine. The only to end this is to end the Russian occupation.
If Jesus is alive today, this is what Jesus would have asked us! When are we going to evolve from the capitalism?! Global resources are belonging to everyone around the globe. Not for trading but to meet everyone's basic needs around the tiny earth. Capitalism and market economy will remain number ONE threat to global peace, global resources, race relations, climate, human health, mental wellbeing and living standard on any part of the world! Who killed Jesus? It was the capitalism killed Jesus on the cross, when he requested fairness for follow humans! USA and its NATA expansions are a collective institutional progression, which take place every seconds through their Market Economy's core structure of elements such as education, training, employment, language, media, music, film, tv, banks, dollar, stock markets, shares, swift, IMF, foreign policies, trading, contracts, exploitation, drilling & digging earth, emitting C02, greed, organised corruptions, treaties, summits, conferences, sanctions, UN, G7, G20, military basses, threats, warnings, creating demand and supplying war machines, arms sales, nuclear system sales, consultations and so on.
NATO was formed especially against Soviet Union (Russia) in 1949 by USA. 72 years of USA's NATO expansion and relentless intimidation triggered this war. Russia is aggressively resisting against USA's NATOβs expansion in order to strengthen their capitalism and market economy and keeping rest of Russiaβs federation together with their resources for their billionaires and millionaires. USA has 788 billionaires and over 20 millions millionaires, Russia has 117 billionaires and 268 thousands millionaires. Ukraine is resisting Russiaβs expansion with an expectation of strengthening their capitalism and market economy with NATO & EU for their billionaires and millionaires. China is strengthening their capitalism and market economy with many other nations without firing a single shot so far for their billionaires and millionaires. China has 626 billionaires and over 5 millions and millionaires. This is a war between Billionaires Vs Billionaires from USA, NATO, EU, China, Russia and Ukraine under their national flags.
This war could have been easily avoided if President of Ukraine declared neutrality when President of Russia was requesting numerous times well before the invasion. President of Ukraine could not declare neutrality because Ukraine was mislead by the USA and NATO with a resisting strategy for their own political and economical gain. USA is the only winner from this war. When I USA, I mean USA government, politicians, billionaires, millionaires, and shareholders. USA government wants this war much more than Russia wants this war. Capitalism and market economy will not exist in USA without on going wars and on going regime changes elsewhere. Global capitalism and market economy require continuous resources in order to produce and market their products and services in order to satisfy their billionaires, millionaires, and shareholders. This war will feed USA's economy with trillions of dollars and political gain at global stage after this war. USA will make trillions of dollars by selling oil, gas, energy technologies, various military machines, defence systems, information technologies, and nuclear systems with or without NATO membership and related products and services to various countries around the world. Countries are already queuing up for NATO membership and for their war machines. US arms companies share prices are rocketing.
Putin will not go home with empty handed when he already lost significant amount of soldiers and economic sanctions! There is no point isolating Putin further and further. Putin would not hesitate to push nuclear buttons as a final resort if Putin thinks its game over for him without a significant win. USA and NATO will need to come up with something that Putin can feel a victory. If USA and NATO cannot come up with something substantial for Putin's victory, the war will last several months or years!, which means more lives, buildings, schools, hospitals, factories, shops and other infrastructures will be under threat. And, more refugee crisis and mental health issues are inevitable. USA and NATO must play major part to find a solution in order to stop this war and rebuild the Ukraine.
If I were President of Ukraine, I would have declared neutrality well before the invasion or resigned my position and stopped resisting against Russia's war machine at the very beginning of invasion in order to save thousands of lives, houses, hospitals, schools, factories and other infrastructures. What is the point resisting when you know there would be lost of lives and lost of assets! Sovereignty, Democracy, and Freedom are for text books and media only. These do not exist in real world. We are all slaves to the capitalism and market economy, which will remain number ONE threat to global peace forever unless we can evolve from the capitalism. We cannot evolve from the capitalism because there are many war machines protect the capitalism around the world! Humans are the ultimate dangerous creatures on this tiny earth! Shame on you humans!
There is a solution for an ultimate peaceful world for everyone around the world, which cannot be achieved anytime soon unless all nations say βYesβ by tomorrow morning. The solution is a non-trade borderless one world, al global resources are belonging to everyone, one army, one planned production for everyone, full employment, one wage for everyone, one price for all products and services, and one bank to keep our digital money to spend on products and services. Full employment for everyone. Free housing for everyone. Free healthcare for everyone. Free educations for everyone. Free travel for everyone. Free holidays for everyone. No trading. No printed money. No interest on any money savings. No interest rates. No quantitative money. No tax. No national insurance. No private ownerships on any sector. No profit making activities on any sector. No war machines. No nuclear arms. No car production for private use. Motor vehicles are only for transporting goods and other emergency use. Public transport only for individuals. No aeroplane for holiday makers. Aero planes are only for transporting vegetables and medicines between continents. In order to achieve the borderless βOne Worldβ all nations must come under one global admin. No presidents. No prime ministers. No party political broadcasts. No national flags. Every sector will be planned and managed by Citizen Councils for all sectors. There will be various Citizen Councils for all different sectors. All Citizen Council will their own research and development department for their sector. Decisions will be taken by the members of Citizen Councils for the particular sector for entire world. All receive same wage like everybody else. Global resources will be moved between continents in order to make products and services for everyone. We all will all have an equal quality of living standard across the globe. Shall we come together under one admin for the borderless βOne Worldβ? If we say no, the capitalism and market economy will remain number ONE threat to global peace, global resources, race relations, climate, human health, mental wellbeing and living standard on any part of the world!
I have done my part to be a good human. You can now post your comments about my point of view and the solution I suggested for a peaceful world. If you think my solution is inadequate, you can post your solution for a peaceful world. Thanks for reading. I look forward to see your comments.
Now take in Ukraine in NATO
Then everything and problem will be solve the war
We need to get some balls and sanction Pootie's wealth directly. Believe me, THAT will get his attention. Take a criminal's wealth away and watch how interested they get. Germany giving a billion to the war while spending 38 billion to Russia for oil does absolutely nothing, and if the idiots hadn't shut all their nuclear power plants, they wouldn't remotely be in this bad shape. Isn't it amazing how this NEVER comes up in the media? Agenda, agenda, agenda.
RU is leading a major operation and wins. For the last 50 years, the US has dealt with one little thing after Vietnam. US restrictions for RU are a sign of envy and weakness. This is the marker of US for the fact that they supported the N /- zi in UA since 2014 (14000 people died after UA army acts in Donetsk and Lugansk republics).
The goal of the US was to provoke abuse RU to UA in order to persuade the EU to enter an emborgo in order to become a monopolist in the supply of gas to the EU.

I sure hope so.. then the bioweapon labs will be a real stain on NATO.
Right now they can pretend it isn't their issue.
