    Comparing them to our imperialist actions isn’t the brilliant argument that you think it is.

    At any rate, NATO has never offered membership to Ukraine — they’ve been explicitly told their corruption issues were a non-starter.

    And, of course, Ukraine only started those talks following Russia invading Crimea in 2014. Again, Russia is the clear aggressor here. Get real.

      You are correct that they didnt offer it yet, but it was on the table, and NATO knew that was the reddest of red lines. You also do even know why russia took over Crimea in the first place.

      And yes, how america would react is imporant because it shows how we really feel, not just propaganda about how they can do what they please.
