NATO Says It Will Invite Ukraine to Join When ‘Conditions Are Met’
-
NATO leaders agreed in a joint statement to offer Ukraine an invitation to join, but remained vague on how and when, wording that essentially marked a victory for Biden, who said before the summit that Ukraine was not ready to be a member.
The alliance’s leaders, meeting at a summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, had struggled to agree on language about how to describe a timeline and conditions for what everyone agrees will be Ukraine’s eventual membership in NATO.
The leaders of the 31 member states said in their communiqué that Ukraine would receive an invitation “when allies agree and conditions are met,” and that there would be regular reviews of the country’s progress toward meeting NATO standards on democracy and military integration.
Zelensky was attending a dinner on Tuesday evening with leaders of NATO countries, according to Jens Stoltenberg, NATO’s secretary general, and is to attend the inaugural meeting on Wednesday of the NATO Ukraine Council, a new group that will give Ukraine an equal voice on key issues alongside full member states. Biden is planning to meet with Zelensky on Wednesday.

@Spintendo Translation to English - from B.S. native tongue of NATO "leaders"
Ukraine will not enter NATO anytime soon. Member status rejected.
Good news!! The rejection may yet help avert WW3.
As to Senile Biden: Wouldn't be too sure he knows who he meets or what his cue cards mean.
-
@blablarg18 Retranslation from your misinterpretation: There first has to be a formal application in order for there to be a rejection. Since Ukraine has submitted no such application, there was no rejection. Ukraine formerly entering NATO is a bus that has already left the station. Their arrival at that destination is only a matter of time.

Satire version:
Satire version would be more accurate if it showed the NATO kids with puppet strings on Zelensky, or bloodily eating Zelensky.
To quote himself:
He called the decision not to include Ukraine in NATO "unprecedented and absurd," citing the fact that no timeframe had been given regarding potential admission.
"It seems there is no readiness neither to invite Ukraine to NATO nor to make it a member of the Alliance," he lamented. "This means that a window of opportunity is being left to bargain Ukraine's membership in NATO in negotiations with Russia. And for Russia, this means motivation to continue its terror. Uncertainty is weakness. And I will openly discuss this at the summit."
As proverb goes: UK-USA fight Russia "to the last Ukrainian".
I deplore all the deaths, all around.
Of course, NATO accepting Ukraine would only cause WW3 & more deaths / Rejecting Ukraine was right.
Zelensky in terrible position. Shoulda taken that peace deal that nearly happened in Feb 2022. Except NATO wouldn't let him; UK-USA vetoed the peace deal.
-
@blablarg18 wow there's so many NATO kids ....and where would Putin be in that picture. Aren't the kids pissing on him too... Tough crowd
-
The only thing holding Ukraine together is Zelensky. All the rest of the Ukraine leadership is whacko.
-
@lololulu19 The leadership of ukraine is wacko....hmmmmm and I suppose if you were in the leadership of a country that had seen invasion and was constantly being bombarded with threats of annihilation you would be a model of sanity
-
I wonder if people remember another time Joe Biden was demanding conditions from Ukraine. Joe was demanding that they fire the prosecutor who was investigating Hunter... and if they did not, Biden would hold back $1 billion from Ukraine!
-
@Spintendo I was referring to the state of Ukraine BEFORE the invasion began... and before Zelensky. Other than Zelensky, Ukraine has been an ongoing disaster. Zelensky is articulate, intelligent, likable, and communicates well. We need a leader like Zelensky in the USA instead of one who is incoherent, incontinent, stutters, has dementia, is senile, is a pedophile, and looks like a real-life Mr. Magoo as he stumbles around not knowing where the hell he is.

Let me guess. You watch Fox "News."

Ukraine was a disaster, like Belarus and Russia are now, which is why they want to escape Russian influence, join NATO and the EU, and become a liberal democracy.
I wish people could make up their minds about Biden: sometimes he is a senile fool, and other times he is the evil leader of the worst "crime family" the US has ever seen. Which is it? And well done on your ageism and making fun of people with disabilities. It's the kind of cruel, unempathetic garbage we've come to expect from the right.
Maybe the far right should stop projecting their "Trump problem" on the Democrats, and clean up their own circus first: Jordan, Comer, Trump, MTG, Boebert, Gaetz....they have their work cut out for them.

Guess you never heard of old people.
Concept of LIFELONG criminal (young Biden cheated in law school, also was KKK supporter), turning 80 & degenerating, seems to escape you.
No surprise tho. LOTS escapes you.
@lololulu19 Here's the clip you meant.

Same clip on youtube:
Youtube VideoGuess that also escaped @jaroonn - not for first time!
But your description was accurate.
Joe Biden was demanding conditions from Ukraine. Joe was demanding that they fire the prosecutor who was investigating Hunter... and if they did not, Biden would hold back $1 billion from Ukraine!
We've since learned that Joe & Hunter were paid $5 million each when Joe delivered.
Completes legal def of bribery & extortion.

@blablarg18 Have you noticed who keeps pushing this garbage?
If we have learned so much, where are the indictments?
Oh yeah....Deep State.
No one that matters cares about this. It's just another far-right shit show that will lead to nothing.
I might be wrong? Wake me up when it happens.
I see you are a gerontologist now, too. So many fields of expertise....lol.
-
I do believe that there is a Deep State, protecting Dems.
The Deep State is also a bunch of Uni-Party war hawks.
-
@jaroonn To recap: Biden's 80, I merely point out how age might affect him - obvious, a commonplace thing to note......
......... and u treat it as wild claims, only a nut would say it.Is there any limit to how far u can cram head up ass? Seriously. How? Far?
@raphjd "Deep State" is fact not belief. It's a shorter way to say "Permanent Bureacracy". 2 syllables vs. 7.
For generations - centuries? - since whenever political science was invented - political scientists been saying how permanent bureaucracies gain power & interests of their own.
Just like, for generations, USA history teachers & media been talking about corruption & fraud of USA elections.
Just like for millenia - eons - people been noticing effects of old age.
But NOW, we're supposed to forget.
Because, you know, Democrats. "The Party" has spoken.
The Party finds certain near-eternal truths, inconvenient. Don't you dare notice.
-
@raphjd And that's why Democrats are always in control of the government? But ok. If that's what you choose to believe, there is nothing more to discuss I guess.
-
@blablarg18 What can I say? You believe in all kinds of crazy stuff: starting with god and seemingly every conspiracy theory that comes down the pike.
You do you do, bubba.
-
That's why so many of them never go to jail for their crimes.
MSM shills for them, big tech censors for them, and on and on and on,......
The Secret Service dropped the cocaine investigation.
Instead of getting your news from liberal sources, you should watch the Congressional hears and get the info straight from the source.
Tucker Carlson proved that the infamous "51 Intel Experts" were blatant liars. They originally went on liberal media claiming they had proof of Trump colluding with Russia, but in Shitty Schift's secret hearings in the bunker, they said they had no such information. They then went on to claim that Hunter's laptop appeared to be Russian disinfo, despite not having that view until Blinken sent that email around asking them to say that.
The FBI lied to the FISA court, illegally altered official documents and whatnot to spy on a political candidate. This is among many other dirty things they did, hoping to stop Trump.
It's strange how all of the senior scumbags at the FBI are Dems who supported Hillary.
Snowden leaked documents and is enemy #1, but Comey does the same thing and Dems look the otherway.

You erroneously assume. I do watch the hearings. I also read all news sources...on the right and the left. I'm guessing that you think if I were to watch Fox, Tucker and the like, I would change my mind? It's the opposite. I see right through their BS. They are amateur propagandists who make wild accusations without evidence because they don't care whether it's true or not. As someone said, Fox viewers are a monster that needs to fed daily.
Jim Jordan and his cast of idiots look like fools. It's cringeworthy watching them.
We obviously have no respect for each other's opinions, so there's nothing left to say. You do you.

Your BFF, Jerry Nadler, said Antifa doesn't exist. I'm guessing you think he's the bastion of honesty.
Shifty Schiff lied for several years now about Trump colluding with Russia. He claimed he had hard proof, which he has failed to provide.
You hate conservatives and it shows.
